“…AP can be extracted and the osteomeatal region cleansed using the endoscopic method 23 . The antral part of the polyp must be removed from where the polyp originates in order to prevent recurrence 24 . Septal deviation, inferior turbinate hypertrophy and concha bullosa may also be co-present with AP, and these problems can be eliminated in the same session 25 .…”

“…The upper airway morphology is largely influenced by adenotonsillar and facial growth patterns that display discrepancies in OSA children of different ages and levels of adiposity. 12 , 13 Therefore, the magnitude of adenotonsillar effects on childhood OSA may be altered by age and obesity. 34 …”

Adenotonsillectomy (A&T) is a very common surgical procedure in children. Over the past 20 years the principal indication for A&T in children has changed from recurrent adenotonsillitis to obstructive sleep apnea. The physiopathology of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is multifactorial and obesity has been shown to be one of the main factors correlated with its occurrence. On the other hand, the prevalence and severity of childhood obesity have become a veritable epidemic problem in the past 30 years. So the increasing prevalence of obesity in children and high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in obese children implies that an increasing number of these children will present for A&T. Due to more prevalent anatomical alterations of the oronasopharyngeal airways, it is often difficult to predict operation success in obese children. However, previous studies supports that although the risk of presence of residual symptoms of OSAS and airway-related perioperative complication in obese may be more than nonobese group, A&T is effective to reduce obstructive symptoms and improve quality of life in obese children with OSAS.
