Adenoidectomy
An adenoidectomy is a surgery to remove the adenoids — a mass of soft tissue behind the nasal cavity. Adenoids are the same tissue type as tonsils. During this surgery, your child or youth will be put to sleep using general anesthesia and the adenoids will be removed through the mouth.
