Endoscopic adenoid removal in children with a shaver technique

Endoscopic adenoid removal in children at MediLavia is a gentle day-hospital operation in which the child and parents are never left alone with their fears and questions. We work to modern standards of surgical, anesthetic, infection and medication safety and use a gentle shaver technique to remove the adenoids carefully and manage risks at every stage.

Gentle endoscopic shaver adenoidectomy

At our clinic, adenoids are removed under endoscopic control with a shaver, a special instrument that gently “shaves off” the overgrown tissue without injuring the healthy structures around it. This reduces the risk of residual tissue, lowers bleeding and makes the procedure as gentle as possible for the child. The surgeon sees the operating field on a screen and works precisely and carefully, while the anesthesia team monitors the child's condition.

Care starts before the operating room

At MediLavia, the child's stay is a well-thought-out pathway, not just “the day of surgery”. The administrators help parents prepare in advance: they explain how the visit will go, what to bring and how to prepare the child, and answer questions in plain language. The team follows evidence-based principles for helping children cope with medical procedures: we reduce uncertainty, speak honestly but gently, support the child's sense of control (the child can choose a toy or a book and ask questions), avoid frightening words and never use the doctor as a threat.

Before surgery: ENT, pediatrician and anesthesiologist

Before the operation, every child undergoes not only ENT diagnostics but also a mandatory examination by a pediatrician and an anesthesiologist. The pediatrician assesses the child's general condition and other conditions and helps parents understand how the operation fits into the child's overall healthcare. The anesthesiologist explains in detail which anesthesia will be used and how safety is monitored during the procedure, and answers parents' questions about risks and recovery. This triple check lets us manage risks in advance and makes the decision to operate calm and informed.

Day hospital: “treat and send home”, with the support of our pediatrician

The operation is performed in a day hospital: the child arrives in the morning, is prepared, has the procedure and is observed, and a few hours later, once stable, goes home. The family remains under the clinic's care: administrators and doctors give a clear plan for home in advance, explain what is normal and what is a reason to see a doctor, and stay in touch with parents to answer any questions that come up at home.

After surgery: the child is monitored, parents are not alone

After endoscopic adenoid removal, the child is always followed by a pediatrician, who monitors general well-being, appetite, sleep and activity and helps adapt daily life to the recovery period. The ENT surgeon holds in-person check-ups and assesses the result of the operation, breathing, hearing and ENT status over time. This way we keep both the local ENT problem and the child's general health under control. Parents know they have specific doctors to turn to with any question and feel that the family is protected by the clinic, not “discharged and forgotten”.

Preventing adenoid regrowth after surgery

MediLavia not only meets quality and safety standards but also actively prevents the risk of regrowth after surgery. The risk of adenoid regrowth is scientifically established. That is why our clinic uses only a reliable microdebrider technique, endoscopic confirmation that no residual adenoid tissue remains after removal, and photo records of the operation that document this. Given the established risk factors for regrowth, targeted treatment of related conditions is an important part of prevention. That is why, after surgery, the child is followed not by the ENT doctor but by a pediatrician, who manages related factors (allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, gastroesophageal reflux) and is responsible for medication safety after the operation.
