It has been noted that blind curettage has many drawbacks. First of all, it cannot completely remove the adenoid tissue from the posterior choana or the margins of the Eustachian tube orifices, which leads to incomplete removal. Secondly, applying curettage blindly may damage the Eustachian tube opening.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>To illustrate our surgical technique for a successful and safe adenoidectomy using a transoral 70\u00b0 endoscope.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The present was a prospective study carried out from December 2022 to September 2024. All patients had adenoid hypertrophy either alone or with tonsillar hypertrophy. There were 46 female and 50 male patients, all of whom underwent transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy using a 70\u00b0 scope.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>There were 96 patients included in this study. The mean age was 5 years and 8 months. Of that total, 35 cases were revisions. The primary procedure was done 12 to 26 months prior (mean: 19). All patients were compliant for the scheduled fiberoptic scope 1 year after surgery. We found that 4 patients (4.16%) had small adenoid regrowth, primarily near the Eustachian tube orifices, without causing any symptoms or airway compromise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy is a technically viable procedure that is better than the traditional curettage method. There was reduced likelihood of incomplete adenoid removal, and it is nearly impossible to damage adjacent structures, making it safer than blind curettage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0045-1811954","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,4]],"date-time":"2026-03-04T05:26:46Z","timestamp":1772602006000},"page":"001-005","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Transoral Endoscopic-Assisted Adenoidectomy: A Prospective Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4789-0368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed","family":"Zahran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Alexandria University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt"},{"name":"Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat, Zain Hospital, Kuwait"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Ashour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ear, Nose, and Throat, Zain Hospital, Kuwait"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5772\/intechopen.1001462","volume-title":"Evolution of Adenoid Surgery","author":"A Dhanuka","year":"2023"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"237","DOI":"10.1016\/s0165-5876(02)00374-9","article-title":"Naive and memory T cells in hypertrophied adenoids in children according to age","volume":"67","author":"J Wysocka","year":"2003","journal-title":"Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1016\/s0025-7125(05)70088-2","article-title":"Sore throat, tonsillitis, and adenoiditis","volume":"83","author":"M A Richardson","year":"1999","journal-title":"Med Clin North Am"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1327","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2012.05.028","article-title":"Prevalence of habitual snoring and associated neurocognitive consequences among Chilean school aged children","volume":"76","author":"P E Brockmann","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"637","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215100099825","article-title":"Symptom relief by adenoidectomy and relationship to adenoid and post-nasal airway size","volume":"100","author":"J W Tankel","year":"1986","journal-title":"J Laryngol Otol"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.132.2.153","article-title":"Tubal tonsil hypertrophy: a cause of recurrent symptoms after adenoidectomy","volume":"132","author":"K S Emerick","year":"2006","journal-title":"Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"406","DOI":"10.1097\/MLG.0b013e31802ffe47","article-title":"Cold dissection versus coblation-assisted adenotonsillectomy in children","volume":"117","author":"N L Shapiro","year":"2007","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1104","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199807000-00028","article-title":"A combined method of conventional and endoscopic adenoidectomy","volume":"108","author":"H M Huang","year":"1998","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"685","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1997.01900070023004","article-title":"Power-assisted adenoidectomy","volume":"123","author":"P J Koltai","year":"1997","journal-title":"Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"398","DOI":"10.1258\/0022215053945840","article-title":"Adenoidectomy with the coblator: a logical extension of radiofrequency tonsillectomy","volume":"119","author":"M S Timms","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Laryngol Otol"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.1177\/095952877005300110","article-title":"On adenoid vegetations in the naso-pharyngeal cavity: their pathology, diagnosis, and treatment","volume":"53","author":"W Meyer","year":"1870","journal-title":"Med Chir Trans"},{"key":"ref12","first-page":"290","volume-title":"Otolaryngology\u2013an Illustrated History","author":"N Weir","year":"1990"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"280","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-996872","article-title":"The nasopharynx and pharyngeal tonsil in the history of otology and rhinology.
