Endoscopic Adenotomies

Abstract

Adenoid hypertrophy in children is one of the most common reasons for regular consultation with an otolaryngologist. Until now, in different clinics, there is no uniform approach to the diagnosis of this disease, nor to the choice of conservative and surgical treatment methods. Digital examination of the nasopharynx and radiography of the nasopharynx in lateral projection are still widely used. The most informative diagnostic method is endoscopy (or videoendoscopy) of the nasopharynx, which allows not only to assess the size of the pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids), but also to objectively describe its anatomical connection with the pharyngeal mouths of the auditory (Eustachian) tubes. , intranasal structures and degree of inflammatory changes.
