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.
