“…On postoperative assessment, most of the patients (25 out of 27) had no mouth breathing or nasal discharge with a score of 0, two patients had occasional mouth breathing with a score of 1, and one of these had an occasional nasal discharge. One of the patients who had occasional mouth breathing had deviated nasal septum on repeat postoperative endoscopy [20].…”

Background Adenoidal hypertrophy is a common condition in children and can cause symptoms such as mouth breathing, nasal discharge, snoring, sleep apnea, and hyponasal speech. The curettage adenoidectomy has some disadvantages, especially the intranasal extension of the adenoid tissue that makes this technique inadequate. This study is conducted to evaluate and compare between assisted suction coagulation adenoidectomy and traditional curettage techniques. Results One hundred twenty-two patients with symptomatic adenoid hypertrophy such as nasal obstruction, snoring, and mouth breathing were included in our study. Patients underwent adenoidectomy either traditional curettage adenoidectomy (60 patients as group A) or endoscopic assisted suction coagulation adenoidectomy (62 patients as group B). Patients were scheduled for follow-up visits with respect to operative time, operative and postoperative complications. The mean age of groups A and B were 6.57+2.8 and 7+2.8 ranging from 3 to12 years. There was a statistically significant difference between groups as regard intraoperative blood loss, trauma, postoperative complications as neck stiffness and bad odor plus postoperative endoscopic and radiological grading after the operation. Conclusions Suction coagulation diathermy adenoidectomy is alternative to cold adenoidectomy with significantly fewer intraoperative complications such as blood loss and trauma of prevertebral muscle plus post-operative complications such as primary or secondary bleeding and rhinolalia aperta.
