Adenoidectomy/Adenotonsillectomy

Specialist consideration may be given when adenoid and/or tonsillar hypertrophy leads to obstructive sleep apnea such as snoring and breathing pauses, or is accompanied by recurrent infections, otitis media with effusion, nasal congestion, and mouth breathing. Decisions are based on a comprehensive assessment of symptoms and signs, sleep monitoring results (if applicable), previous treatment response, age, and general condition.
