Adenoid surgery, also known as adenoidectomy, is a medical procedure that involves the removal of the adenoids. Adenoids are small masses of tissue located at the back of the nasal cavity, and they play a role in the immune system by helping to trap harmful bacteria and viruses. Adenoidectomy is typically performed to address issues such as recurrent infections, breathing difficulties, or ear problems associated with enlarged or infected adenoids. The surgery is often straightforward, and recovery may involve a brief period of discomfort, nasal congestion, and a temporary change in diet. Overall, adenoid surgery aims to alleviate symptoms and improve the individual's overall well-being.
