Transnasal adenoidectomy in mucopolysaccharidosis

Transnasal Coblation and Microdebrider adenoidectomy is a safe and effective surgical treatment for OSA in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis and adenoidal hypertrophy. As lifespan increases for patients with the Mucopolysaccharidoses, greater emphasis is being given to optimising airway management over the longer-term. This technical note describes the novel application of endoscopic techniques for the management of primary adenoidal hypertrophy when transoral access is restricted, or to debulk recurrent disease that would be challenging to remove via the standard transoral route.
