Conclusion:
Adenoidectomy in hypertrophied adenoids with OME is simple and effective procedure in the resolution of OME and improvement in hearing postoperatively. Visual aided clearance of adenoids using microdebrider with complete clearance of tissue over the ET opening has led to a major advantage of using it over the conventional method. Middle ear function tests, pre and post operatively not only give a fair idea about the operative outcome but also help in following up the patient and the disease process. Microdebrider assisted adenoidectomy as compared to the conventional method has proven to have promising results with a significant improvement in middle ear functions as seen in our study.
