Background: Treatment of adenoid hypertrophy is generally planned in accordance with the degree of airway obstruction and related morbidity. If surgical treatment is indicated, the individual risk/ benefit analysis of patients should be assessed in terms of anesthetic and postoperative complications. Although there are few alternative treatment options, intranasal steroid applications may be co...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To propose a definitive standard grading scale in the assessment of adenoid tissue in relation to size, position, and proximity to surrounding anatomic structures. This will allow for better clinical communications among practitioners when treating this pathology, a better understanding of its relationship and how it effects neighboring structures (eustachian tube and choa...

RATIONALE Primary tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea primary is a rare neoplasm and commonly misdiagnosed. Lung isolation during surgery and ventilation pose a tremendous challenge to anesthesiologists. PATIENT CONCERNS The authors describe a novel technique of lung isolation and ventilation with a Univent tube during thoracoscopic mediastinal tracheal resection and reconstructi...

Objective. To determine whether patient factors (eg, indication for initial surgery, medical comorbidity, or age) are associated with adenoid regrowth and subsequent need for revision adenoidectomy and whether surgical factors (eg, surgical technique or level of surgeon’s training) are associated with adenoid regrowth and subsequent need for revision adenoidectomy. Study Design. Historical coho...
