At what point would my child benefit from a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy? Surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids in children is performed for two primary reasons: recurrent tonsil/adenoid infections and snoring with associated sleep apnea. Tonsil infections: As a general guideline, a tonsillectomy is recommended in patients with four tonsil infections in one year, as the bacteria will be endemic inside the tonsil. Sleep apnea: Enlargement of tonsil and adenoid tissue in children is the main course of airway Obst (Apnea). Children with sleep apnea typically are mouth breathers who snore loudly and can be heard to stop breathing or make gasping noises during sleep. Sleep apnea results in fragmented sleep that can lead to daytime fatigue or hyperactivity, failure to thrive, difficulties in concentrating, and occasional problems with bedwetting. Surgical procedure: Tonsils and adenoids are removed through the mouth with no external scars. In most children, this is outpatient surgery. What can be done about my snoring? Snoring is a common problem that may occur alone or in combination with obstructive sleep apnea. Primary snoring: Snoring typically is caused by vibration of tissues within the Oropharynx . Nasal obstruction can be another cause. In mild snoring, these measures may help: losing weight, sleeping on your side rather than your back, avoiding sedatives and alcohol. Surgery can reduce the size of the soft tissue of uvula and palate, and also relieve nasal obstruction.. Office turbinate surgery may also help snoring by improving nasal breathing. Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Obstructive apnea is a cessation of breathing that last ten seconds or more. Repeated episodes can significantly disrupt sleep. Manifestations of sleep apnea include snoring, restless sleep, and daytime fatigue. Many advances have been made in treatment of sleep apnea.
