- Abstract
Adenoidectomy is one of the most common procedures performed in children today, either alone or in conjunction with tonsillectomy or insertion of ventilating tubes. The present study was planned to compare the endoscopic powered adenoidectomy versus conventional adenoidectomy. The present prospective observational randomized study was carried out in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of a tertiary care teaching hospital of Rajasthan. Fifty patients with adenoid hypertrophy in the age group between 5-13 years were enrolled in the study and divided in to two groups viz. cases undergoing conventional adenoidectomy using curettage method (group A = 25) and cases undergoing endoscopic powered adenoidectomy (group B = 25). Intra operative time, primary bleeding, completeness of adenoid removal, depth of resection, and collateral damage were noted intra operatively in both the groups. Postoperative pain, recovery time, postoperative complications were also compared. Intra operative time taken in Group A was 25.6 ± 2.90 min while it was 35.04 ± 5.24 min in Group B. (p < 0.0001) Average blood loss in Group A was 18.4 ± 4.72 ml compared to an average blood loss of 29.32 ± 2.59 ml in Group B. (p < 0.0001) The postoperative recovery time in Group A was 4.93 days and it was 3.06 days in group B. (p = 0.00). The present study concluded that newer method of endoscopic powered adenoidectomy was found to be a safe and useful tool for adenoidectomy in terms of completeness of resection, better control of depth of resection and minimal collateral damage intra-operatively and less postoperative pain, complications and fast recovery period.
