The procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and is performed under general anaesthetic by an ENT (ear, nose and throat) consultant surgeon. It can be performed either through the nose or the mouth, resulting in no external scars.
Once the adenoids have been removed, your child will be transferred to a recovery room. Depending on the case, your consultant will advise on the duration of stay at hospital needed.
The recovery period varies for each case – your healthcare team will advise you on the next steps and will support you and your child throughout your journey with us.
For most cases, the surgery is a day case surgery and you/your child will be able to go back home the same day. It is normal to have a sore throat and feel sleepy after the surgery.
