Adenoidectomy Hospital in Kanakapura Road, Bangalore

Adenoidectomy offers targeted relief for children and adults with symptomatic adenoid hypertrophy - a condition characterised by the enlargement of pharyngeal tonsils, common in children, causing chronic nasal discharge and obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, and sleep-disordered breathing that don’t respond to medical treatment. The procedure removes enlarged adenoid tissue through the mouth with no external incisions. It is also advised for recurrent middle ear infections and hearing loss. Our ENT doctors at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road may also advise coblation (controlled ablation) adenoidectomy, another modern, minimally invasive technique that uses low-temperature radiofrequency energy and saline to precisely remove adenoid tissue.

How It Works

Adenoid surgery in Kanakapura Road begins with a detailed clinical assessment and, where indicated, imaging to determine adenoid size and its effect on nearby structures. Anaesthetic evaluation is completed before scheduling. On the day of surgery, general anaesthesia is administered for patient comfort and airway control. The ENT surgeon gains access to the nasopharynx through the mouth and removes the adenoid tissue using cold instruments, suction curettes, or COBLATION.

Haemostasis is achieved with topical measures or electrocautery as required. Surgeons aim to preserve the surrounding mucosa and Eustachian tube function while removing the obstructive tissue. The surgical time is usually short, and uncomplicated cases often last under 45 minutes. 

Patients proceed to recovery, where airway patency and pain control are monitored. Analgesia plans are individualised, and intraoperative findings are documented to guide postoperative care. The team follows enhanced recovery principles to reduce fasting times and permit early oral intake where appropriate. 

Benefits

Removal of enlarged adenoids at our adenoidectomy hospital in Kanakapura Road improves nasal airflow and reduces sleep-disordered breathing in affected children. 

  • The procedure lowers the frequency of middle ear infections and persistent nasal discharge. 

  • There is no external scar, and most patients have a next-day discharge. 

  • Recovery is generally swift, and complication rates remain low. 

  • Most patients notice symptomatic improvement within weeks.

FAQ's

An adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of adenoid tissue from the nasopharynx to relieve obstruction and reduce recurrent infections.

Patients with persistent nasal blockage, recurrent middle ear infections, or chronic nasal discharge that does not improve with medical therapy may be considered for surgery.

Most adenoidectomy procedures are a ONE-day affair. Patients return home after a short observation period if recovery is uneventful.

Risks include bleeding, infection, and, rarely, temporary changes in voice resonance. Your surgeon will discuss procedure-specific risks during consent.

Light activities can usually resume within a few days. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for one to two weeks to reduce the risk of bleeding.
