Conditions
Adenoidectomy
Interventions
Procedure: Suction Diathermy Adenoidectomy
Registration Number
NCT05615506
Lead Sponsor
Sohag University
Brief Summary

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.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the efficacy of suction diathermy in completeness of adenoid removalintraoperative

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

amount of intraoperative blood loss with suction diathermy adenoidectomyintraoperative

amount of blood loss measured in cubic centimeter

postoperative hemorrhage2 weeks

percentage of occurence of post operative hemorrhage

Recurrence of symptoms6 months

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intraoperative trauma to adjacent structures with suction diathermy adenoidectomy6 months

evaluated using zero degree nasal endoscope

postoperative halitosis7 days

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

operative time with suction diathermy adenoidectomy6 months

operative time measured in minutes

Postoperative pain7 days

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.

Speech changes6 months

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