Abstract
To evaluate the role of microdebrider in patients undergoing endoscopic adenoidectomy. Prospective interventional study. Tertiary referral hospital. Twenty patients requiring adenoidectomy were included in the study. Mean operative time was found to be 31.5 min. Mean blood loss was 29.45 ml. All the patients had complete removal of adenoid mass. None of the patients had any kind of collateral damage. It gives a complete clearance of obstructive adenoids under vision thus providing reliable restoration of nasopharyngeal patency.
