OBJECTIVES: The aim of this work is to compare between different techniques of adenoidectomy: endoscopic microdebrider-assisted, coblation and conventional adenoidectomy and its effect on middle ear pressure.
BACKGROUND: Adenoidectomy, either alone or with tonsillectomy, is considered among the most performed procedures in pediatric otorhinolaryngology. This procedure usually related to the Eustachian tube function and middle ear status. Eustachian tube dysfunction is mainly caused by mechanical obstruction of the tubal orifice, insufficient swallowing and inflammation in the nasopharyngeal mucosa.
METHODS: This prospective randomized study was conducted on 90 patients with symptomatic adenoid hypertrophy confirmed by nasopharyngeal X-ray and endoscopic grading preoperatively. Patients were admitted at Otorhinolaryngology department of our institute during the period from January 2022 to January 2023. They were divided into three groups that were operated either by conventional (Group I), endoscopic microdebrider (Group II), or coblation technique (Group III). Each group was assessed through the audiometric parameters plus postoperative bleeding, and VAS results for pain score and postoperative endoscopic grading for adenoid recurrence.
RESULTS: Mean age in group A was 9.03 years and in group B was 8.99 years and was 8.99 years in group C with insignificant differences between three groups. There is significant improvement of tympanographic results comparing all groups of the patients at 6 months postoperatively. There is significant relation between the mean VAS comparing preoperative and postoperative results.
CONCLUSION: There are better results in tympanographic data at conventional adenoidectomy versus other techniques. However, there are also better postoperative results after either coblation or endoscopic microdebrider adenoidectomy over the conventional technique.
