“…Application of the inclusion criteria initially resulted in only six articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Hand searching of the references resulted in an additional three articles for a total of nine studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Table 1 is the evidence table that summarizes the general findings of the selected articles.…”

“…When studying the relationships between adenoids and sinusitis in children, Huggill & Ballantyne (1952) found that sinusitis had been cured in 82% of the cases by means of adenotomy alone. The use of maxillary puncture together with adenotomy did not improve the results, sinusitis was cured in 75% of the cases.…”

The study is based on 45 children with chronic bronchitis. Their ages varied between 2 and 15 years, the average being 8 years 6 months. 44 children had diseases of the nose, paranasal sinuses or nasopharynx. Adenotomy was performed on 42 children and 16 of these were helped by this operatioa. In 22 cases intranasal antrostomy was made in the inferior meatus with a good or satisfactory result in 14. The Caldwell-Luc operation, performed on 14 children, had a good or satisfactory effect on both sinusitis and bronchitis in all cases thus treated. 26-722957

“…2 Chronic sinusitis in children resolves in 80% cases with adenoidectomy alone, presumably as a result of the removal of the obstructive component. [3][4][5] The 'functional' objective of any treatment of rhinosinusitis should be to establish effective physiological sinus aeration and drainage through the ostiomeatal complex with minimal surgery involving 'mucosa sparing' techniques. Although the objective is described in well-defined terms, is our current surgery necessarily so?…”
