Abstract:

Objective       To evaluate curative effects of adenoidectomy in which nasal polypus forceps are put in through the nasal cavity under an indirect laryngoscope. Methods     80 patients suffering from adenoid hypertrophy were enrolled in this study. Adenoidectomy was operated on by putting nasal polypus forceps through the nasal cavity with direct vision under an indirect laryngoscope and bipolar electrocoagulation or mono-polar electro-coagulation was used to stop bleeding on the nasopharyngeal surface through the nasal cavity or oral cavity. Results     The operation field was clear and the operation process was short. The adenoid was completely removed without any damage to surrounding tissues and any complications. Conclusion      Adenoidectomy through the nasal cavity under an indirect laryngoscope is easy to do.
