ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Surgeons have tried various methods of adenoidectomy from the conventional transoral ad- enoidectomy using curettes or adenotomes to the newly developed transnasal endoscopic adenoidectomy using microdebriders. However, surgeons still face a great difficulty in achieving complete adenoidectomy due to the unfavorable anatomic structure and a narrow operating field. This study aims to introduce and try to establish a better way of performing transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy using microdebriders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients who underwent transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy using rnicrodebriders were prospectively randomized. Skull lateral radiographs and endoscopic photographs were obtained to analyze the surgical outcome of transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy using a microdebrider. RESULTS: There were no specific postoperative complications such as hemorrhage or infection. Nasal obstruction disappeared within 7 postoperative days, and mouth breathing and snoring were simultaneously improved. CONCLUSION: Transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy using a microdebrider can be considered as one of the most effective methods for more complete adenoidectomy to relieve nasal obstruction and to reduce mouth breathing and snoring.
