Question 2

continued pain after adult tonsil and adenoidectomy?

Accepted Answer

How long after?: It takes at least 3 weeks to recover from adult tonsillectomy.  Even then the muscles around the tonsil may feel tight for a while.  Occasionally the stylohyoid tendon behind the tonsil area is irritated for months after a tonsillectomy.  Rarely a surgery is done to remove the styloid process when this continues to be  a large problem.   This is called eagle's syndrome.

Question 5

enlarged adenoids (adult) for 2 years. chronic post nasal drip and lump feeling in nasopharynx. can adenoidectomy help (stop pnd and "stuck" feeling)?

Adenoids: Adults with enlarged adenoids usually have allergies, some have reflux. Adenoid can be source of increased nasopharyngeal drainage. See ENT or Allergist. may be able to shrink the adenoids with prednisone, better allergy management. Adenoidectomy in adults can  have excessive bleeding.

Question 6

could adenoid removal in an adult age 64 be of concern for cancer, or could it be due to severe allergies?

Adenoids: Not sure why they are removing adenoids in a 64 year old person, unless it is a surgery for snoring. Adenoids can be obstructive, cancer is very rare.

Question 7

how  is an adenoidectomy done?

Accepted Answer

Adenoidectomy : Is done through the mouth under general anesthesia.  Adenoids are located in the upper throat just above/behind the soft palate/uvula.  A dental mirror is used to see the area.Removal can be done with a microdebrider that cuts and suctions tiny pieces of tissue out.  Another way is to remove the adenoids using a curette.  Adenoids can also be be vaporized using coblation.

Question 8

when should a child have an adenoidectomy?

Accepted Answer

Current Thoughts...: ... Include frequent ear infections, nasal obstruction or blockage and sleep apnea caused by enlarged adenoids. Consult with your doctor.

Question 9

how long after a adenoidectomy can i execise?

Accepted Answer

5-7 days.: I find it hard to believe that a 46 year old person would need an adenoidectomy.  At that age the adenoid (lymphoid tissue in the back of the nose) usually has atrophied.  Make sure of the histologist diagnosis.  If the tissue is benign, you should be able to exercise in 5 to 7 days.

Question 10

will i have big incision from an adenoidectomy?

Accepted Answer

No: An adenoidectomy is usually performed with adenotomes and curretes.  Therefore, there is no actual incision.  The raw surface left after the adenoids are removed, is usually cauterized.  Bleeding post-operatively is quite rare.  Also this operation is essentially painless.
