Should Children Have Tonsillectomy with Adenoidectomy? Expert Advice from the Best ENT Clinic in Dubai 👨‍⚕️🇦🇪

When a child is scheduled for an adenoidectomy, parents often ask: Should the tonsils be removed at the same time? This is a common and important question, especially when the child has a medical history such as previous heart surgery or recurrent infections. At our ENT clinic in Dubai, our board-certified expert Dr. Hatem Dalati offers trusted, evidence-based advice tailored to each child’s needs.

✅ What Are the Adenoids and Tonsils?

• Adenoids are a patch of tissue high behind the nose that help fight infection in young children.
• Tonsils are two oval-shaped pads of tissue at the back of the throat.

Both can become chronically enlarged or infected, leading to symptoms like:
✅ Snoring
✅ Mouth breathing
✅ Recurrent throat infections
✅ Sleep apnea
✅ Frequent ear infections

🦠 Why Are They Removed?

• Adenoidectomy is usually performed to treat chronic nasal obstruction, snoring, sleep apnea, and frequent ear infections.
• Tonsillectomy is recommended for children with:
  • Recurrent throat infections (7 or more in 1 year)
  • Grade 3–4 tonsillar hypertrophy (enlargement)
  • Sleep-disordered breathing
  • Complications like abscess or speech issues

🔍 Why Combine Both Procedures?

While some children may only need an adenoidectomy, others benefit from removing the tonsils at the same time—even if their tonsils are only grade 2.

Here’s why:

1. Shared Causes: Enlarged tonsils and adenoids are often caused by the same chronic inflammation.
2. Improved Airway: Removal of both structures leads to better breathing, sleep, and fewer infections.
3. Prevent Future Surgery: Performing both surgeries together prevents the need for a second anesthesia and recovery period.
4. Special Cases: For children with a history of cardiac conditions, as advised by our ENT expert Dr. Hatem Dalati, combined surgery may reduce future health risks and hospital visits.
