What is another word for adenoidectomy?
Pronunciation: [ˌadənɔ͡ɪdˈɛktəmɪ] (IPA) 
Adenoidectomy, a medical procedure that involves the removal of the adenoids, can also be referred to as adenoid removal, adenotonsillectomy, or pharyngeal tonsillectomy. Often performed in conjunction with a tonsillectomy, the procedure is typically done under general anesthesia and can be completed in less than an hour. Although it is a relatively routine operation, there are risks involved, including bleeding and infection. As a result, it is important to discuss the procedure in detail with a medical professional to determine if it is necessary and to explore all possible options before undergoing surgery.
