The consultation considers symptoms, their effect on daily life and the findings on examination. Dr. Abhishek Malviya explains the available options so that the next step can be planned for the individual patient.
When Can Adenoidectomy: Microdebrider & Coblation Assisted Be Considered?
Adenoidectomy removes enlarged or troublesome adenoid tissue behind the nose. It may be considered for persistent nasal obstruction, sleep breathing problems or selected middle-ear conditions. A microdebrider or coblation technique may be used when appropriate.
Concerns that may need assessment include:
- Persistent nasal obstruction or mouth breathing
- Selected sleep breathing problems
- Certain middle-ear fluid problems
How Is the Assessment Planned?
Assessment considers nasal symptoms, sleep and hearing. Endoscopy or other tests may be used when appropriate, while the palate and related conditions are considered before surgery.
Bring earlier prescriptions, hearing tests, scans and relevant medical records. Tell the clinician about current medicines, allergies and previous procedures. Tests are chosen according to the examination rather than being necessary for every patient.
What Does Treatment Involve?
Adenoid tissue behind the nose is removed through the mouth. A microdebrider or coblation may be used. The operation can be combined with tonsil surgery or grommets when there is a separate indication.
Recovery, Follow-up & Possible Risks
Temporary nasal congestion or voice change may occur. Bleeding, infection, persistent symptoms and uncommon problems with nasal speech are discussed. Fresh bleeding or breathing difficulty needs urgent care.
The expected benefit, alternatives and limitations are discussed before treatment. Follow the individual plan for medicines, activity and review. Recovery depends on the condition, the procedure and general health; another patient’s recovery is not a fixed guide.

How is the recovery time decided?
The clinician explains the expected course for the specific treatment. Follow-up findings determine when normal activities can safely resume.
