No surgery: The neurological circuitry involved in adhd is extensive, and not localized to 1 part of the brain only. All brain parts are needed for optimal function. There may be parts and functions we don't understand well yet -- but you can be sure that what god put in there, belongs there. At some point deep brain stimulation may be an option, but not yet.

NICE WISH: At this time we think of adhd as a neurological problem of inefficient neural networks that become efficient with meds, minerals, vitamines, neurobiological feedback and some other approaches - including educating kids and parents. Schools can make accommodations uckh as special classes and longer times for tests. Lots can be done to help, but you can't cut it out surgically. Getting help.

No: There is no surgical cure for adhd. Some experts have found that studies have shown that sleep-disordered breathing is actually helping to cause behavioral problems in children, and making them sleepy. Thus suggestions of removing tonsils and adenoids has created a buzz as a treatment for adhd. See an ear nose throat expert if you have snoring or disrupted sleep or frequent tonsillar infections.
