Does the child's adenoid hypertrophy have to be operated?
Nanhu Consulting Ms. Zhang: My daughter's adenoids have been hypertrophy for a long time. The child snores, breathes with his mouth open and has an "adenoid face". Because the child is still young, she is worried about the danger and pain of the operation, but she can't bear to let the child suffer from illness and go to the hospital for examination. The doctor suggested an operation. Please remind Director Xiao of Wuhan Ren 'an Eye Otolaryngology Hospital that if adenoid hypertrophy affects breathing, sleep will occur. It can also cause the maxilla and teeth to grow and deform due to long-term oral breathing. Adenoid hypertrophy is recommended for surgical treatment. In the past, the traditional surgical method advocated 4-year-old surgery, mainly for fear that the child was too young to choke blood into the airway by mistake. Now, under the direct vision of nasal endoscope, the operation with cutting blade is accurate and minimally invasive. Moreover, bipolar electrocoagulation or plasma can be used to stop bleeding under the direct vision of nasal endoscope, which not only has hemostasis effect, but also obviously reduces the recurrence probability. Therefore, if children have severe sleep apnea symptoms, regardless of age, they should be operated in time. & gt& gt& gt& gt& gt recommended reading: the best treatment for adenoidal hypertrophy in children. Traditional surgery is traumatic and easy to cause complications such as bleeding. Director Xiao suggested that minimally invasive techniques should be selected for adenoid surgery in children. The therapeutic principle of low-temperature plasma minimally invasive technology is to use the energy of low-temperature plasma radio frequency to ablate adenoid lesions at a plasma temperature of about 40 degrees and restore normal ventilation of pharyngeal cavity. For plasma treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy, it should also be noted that this technology uses endoscope to enlarge the diseased tissue hundreds of times, making the surgical field clearer, simpler and more accurate, ensuring the safety of the operation and reducing the risk. In the treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy in children, low temperature plasma minimally invasive technology is painless and safe, especially suitable for the special group of the elderly and children (over 3 years old), and its unique curative effect has been well received by the majority of patients. Symptoms such as snoring, excessive nasal secretions, bad breath and heavy nasal sounds may still occur in the short term after adenoidectomy. This is due to postoperative wound edema and inflammatory reaction. It takes some time for the wound to heal, so the improvement of symptoms is also a gradual process. Family members need not be too anxious and nervous. After the operation, they should check with a surgeon.
