Abstract
Introduction
Infectious and inflammatory diseases involving the pharynx, tonsils, and adenoids account for a significant proportion of childhood illnesses and pediatric health care expenditure. They often result two of the most common surgical procedures of childhood -tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy. Recent clinical research has helped to illuminate this vast area of pediatric otorhinolaryngology including the effect of adenotonsillar hypertrophy on obstructive sleep apnea, the microbiologic flora of the tonsils and adenoids and their role in chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy, the relationship between adenotonsillar hypertrophy and craniofacial growth and the new technique for adenotonsillectomy with improved management of perioperative morbidity .
This work review our current understanding of new technique for adenoidectomy via microdebrider and conventional currette mathod.
