About Adenoidectomy

At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, we are dedicated to protecting children’s health by offering effective and safe solutions for breathing problems. Adenoidectomy, or removal of adenoids (nasopharyngeal polyps), is one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures, significantly improving breathing and quality of life.

What are adenoids (nasopharyngeal polyps) and why remove them?

Adenoids are lymphoid tissue structures located at the back of the nasal cavity in the upper part of the throat. They play an important role in defending against infections but, when they become enlarged or frequently inflamed, can cause:

Breathing difficulties

Due to blocked nasal passages.

Snoring and sleep apnea

Snoring and sleep apnea.

Frequent ear infections

(Otitis).

Recurrent sinus infections

Recurrent sinusitis.

Mouth breathing

Which can affect proper jaw development.

When is adenoidectomy necessary?

1
Airway obstruction

The polyps are large enough to block the airways.

2
Frequent infections

The child has frequent middle ear or sinus infections.

3
Sleep apnea

Episodes of sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) occur.

4
Failure of medical treatment

Medication is ineffective or symptoms recur often.

How is polyp surgery performed?

Adenoidectomy is a simple and safe procedure performed under general anesthesia. At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, we use advanced techniques that reduce risks and ensure fast recovery.

Initial consultation

The ENT specialist evaluates the child’s condition and may recommend further tests (blood work, nasopharyngeal endoscopy).

Surgical procedure
  • Performed under general anesthesia.
  • The polyps are removed through the mouth without external incisions.
  • Typically takes 20–40 minutes.
Postoperative recovery

The child is monitored for a few hours after surgery and usually goes home the next day.

What should parents know before surgery?

To ensure safety, parents should follow these important guidelines:

Preoperative fasting

No food or drink for 6–8 hours before surgery.

Medical information

Inform the doctor of any known allergies or existing conditions.

Preparing the child

Prepare the child by explaining that it is a short and painless procedure.
