Adenoidectomy: does it work?

P J Robb. J Laryngol Otol. 2007 Mar.

Abstract

Adenoidectomy is a common, routine paediatric operation for which the evidence base for effectiveness is lacking. While there is a broad evidence base of variable quality for other common children's ENT operations, most published data including adenoidectomy is combined with the effect of combined tonsillectomy or grommet surgery. For the common indications for adenoidectomy, does it work?
