Abstract
Adenotomy with or without tonsillotomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical operations on children. Throughout many years the indications for this procedure were infringed. Nowadays the operation is being performed mainly because of the rhinological and/or otological indications for the pathologic hypertrophy of adenoid and/or palatine tonsils. There is also another indication although it is less frequently used. This indication is an occlusion disorder which needs to be treated orthodontically.
