Adenoidectomy Cost in Bangalore, India

Adenoidectomy removes the adenoids, small lumps of tissue at the back of the nose, usually in children with persistent blocked nose, sleep problems or glue ear.

The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges' evidence-based guidance notes that most children having grommets do not need their adenoids removed, and it may do more harm than good. It may be considered when symptoms persist beyond glue ear, such as ongoing nasal blockage.

Adenoids usually shrink after age 3 to 5, and they are sometimes removed with the tonsils for sleep apnoea in children.

East Kent Hospitals NHS explains that the adenoids are removed through the mouth under general anaesthetic. A sore throat may last up to a week and children should stay off school for 7 to 10 days.

Mild nasal congestion and bad breath are common for a short time.

Flying home: ear, nose and sinus surgery can make cabin pressure changes uncomfortable or risky, so the ENT surgeon confirms when it is safe to fly at the post-operative review.

The cost of adenoidectomy in Bangalore typically ranges from $570 to $5,450 USD (about ₹54,100 to ₹5.17 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

Some Bengaluru hospitals also hold Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, an international standard, and JCI's public directory lets you confirm a hospital's status before you book.
