About this study

Official title: Suction Diathermy Adenoidectomy : Efficacy and Safety

The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic suction diathermy adenoidectomy as regard the operative time, adenoid tissue remnant, blood loss, and clinical events like pain, halitosis, postoperative hemorrhage, speech changes and recurrence.

Read the detailed description

Suction diathermy adenoidectomy is a procedure that uses thermal energy generated by electric current to ablate adenoid which is removed using suction. This procedure was described in 1997 and the technique has the advantage of complete tissue removal with reduced blood loss and intraoperative time, also reduced post-operative complications as postoperative hemorrhage , nasality and lower recurrence rate.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the efficacy of suction diathermy in completeness of adenoid removal

    Flexible fibre optic nasopharyngoscope or zero degree nasal endoscope is used for evaluation of the nasopharynx and determine the adenoid remnant in percentage.

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. amount of intraoperative blood loss with suction diathermy adenoidectomy

    amount of blood loss measured in cubic centimeter

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. Recurrence of symptoms

    Flexible fibre optic nasopharyngoscope or 0 degree nasal endoscope is used for evaluation of the nasopharynx to detect any remnant or recurrence of adenoid in percentage

    Measured: 6 months

  4. postoperative hemorrhage

    percentage of occurence of post operative hemorrhage

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Intraoperative trauma to adjacent structures with suction diathermy adenoidectomy

    evaluated using zero degree nasal endoscope

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Postoperative pain

    pain is assessed using postoperative diary and pain is rated on a 0-10 visual analogue scale, 0 being no pain; and 10 being worse pain ever.

    Measured: 7 days

  3. postoperative halitosis

    halitosis is assessed using postoperative diary and halitosis is rated on 0-10 visual analogue scale, 0 being no odour, and 10 being the worst odour they have encountered

    Measured: 7 days

  4. operative time with suction diathermy adenoidectomy

    operative time measured in minutes

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Speech changes

    detection of open nasality and palatal assessment by Flexible fibre optic nasopharyngoscope after 3 weeks then 3 and 6 months

    Measured: 6 months
