Adenoidectomy Cost in India

The cost of Adenoidectomy in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Adenoidectomy removes the adenoids, immune tissue at the back of the nose. It is mostly done in children. The cost depends on:

• Technique: conventional curettage, suction diathermy, coblation or endoscopic-guided.
• Combined procedures: tonsillectomy or grommets.
• Anaesthesia and day care: general anaesthesia, usually a day case.
• Hospital type

The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges' evidence-based guidance notes:

• Most children having grommets do not need adenoid removal: and it may do more harm than good.
• Consider it: when there are persistent symptoms beyond glue ear, such as ongoing nasal blockage.
• Natural shrinkage: adenoids usually shrink after age 3–5.

Adenoids are also removed, often with tonsils, for obstructive sleep apnoea in children.

East Kent Hospitals NHS says a sore throat may last up to a week and children should stay off school for 7–10 days. Mild nasal congestion and bad breath are common for a short time.

Using an endoscope lets the surgeon see the adenoids directly and remove them more completely. See the endoscopic adenoidectomy page.
