Adenoidectomy takes away the adenoids, small pads of tissue at the back of the nose, normally in children with a persistently blocked nose, sleep issues or glue ear.

Evidence-based guidance from the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges points out that most children having grommets do not need their adenoids out and that removal may do more harm than good. It may be considered when symptoms continue beyond glue ear, including ongoing nasal blockage.

Adenoids normally shrink after the age of 3 to 5, and they are sometimes taken out with the tonsils for sleep apnoea in children.

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

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

Flying home: cabin pressure changes can cause pain or trouble after ear, nose or sinus surgery, so the ENT surgeon checks you are fit to fly at the review appointment.

A Gurgaon quote for adenoidectomy is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Child or adult: and reason for surgery.
• Combined operations: tonsils or grommets.
• Anaesthesia: general anaesthetic.
• Day case or overnight: depending on age and breathing.

Ask the Gurgaon hospital whether the quote includes the anaesthetist, the hearing or pathology tests and the post-operative clinic appointments.
