Nasal obstruction is a common problem in children and is frequently caused by adenoid hypertrophy with concomitant inferior turbinate hypertrophy, leading to sleep-disordered breathing and reduced quality of life. Although adenoidectomy is the standard treatment, persistent nasal obstruction may occur in some patients due to inferior turbinate enlargement. Recent evidence suggests that combining inferior turbinate reduction with adenoidectomy may provide superior relief of nasal obstruction and improve postoperative outcomes compared with adenoidectomy alone.
The study aims to compare the effectiveness of adenoidectomy alone versus adenoidectomy combined with endoscopic bilateral partial inferior turbinectomy in relieving nasal obstruction and sleep-disordered breathing in children with adenoid and bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
Inclusion Criteria:
Age : children (9 - 18 years old ) only.
Exclusion Criteria:
• Patients with recent upper respiratory tract infection.
Patients who presented with adenoid hypertrophy and underwent adenoidectomy by curettage assisted by endoscopic suction coagulation
Patients who present with adenoid hypertrophy and bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy will undergo adenoidectomy by currattage, assisted by endoscopic suction coagulation and bilateral partial inferior turbinectomy
