ABSTRACT
After evaluating approaches proposed, over the last few years, by several Authors, to make the procedure of adenoidectomy safer and more accurate, we have developed a new procedure based on the combined use of a rigid 70 degrees endoscope with a video attachment and a microdebrider, both introduced through the oral cavity. This procedure offers several advantages an improved field of vision, continuous suction of blood, and extreme precision in removing the adenoid tissue. Compared with current practices which employ the adenotome or curette, it is possible with our approach to remove adenoid tissue in the most important centres the choanal and tubaric regions. The validity and safety of this videoendoscopic adenoidectomy with microdebrider has been demonstrated in 201 patients.
