Adenoidal Hypertrophy
Conditions
Brief summary
Efficacy of partial adenoidectomy versus total adenoidectomy regarding rate of recurrence and relief of nasal obstruction.
Interventions
Subjects will be randomly assigned into two groups (30 patient each group): Group A will undergo endoscopic partial adenoidectomy using the 70◦ rigid endoscope trans-orally and shaver (microdebrider) ,by removing the upper (choanal) part only with leaving the lower part of the adenoid .(2) Group B will undergo total adenoidectomy ,by removing all the adenoid lymphoid tissue .
