Endoscopic Adenoidectomy Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of endoscopic adenoidectomy in the UAE typically ranges from $2,000 to $18,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

In an endoscopic adenoidectomy, the surgeon removes the adenoids while watching through a fine camera passed into the nose. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Instrument used: microdebrider, coblation or suction diathermy.
• Other procedures in the same session: tonsillectomy, grommets or sinus surgery.
• General anaesthetic: in a day-surgery unit.
• Facility charges: theatre and hospital fees.

The camera lets the surgeon see adenoid tissue close to the openings of the Eustachian tubes and remove it more completely, which may reduce regrowth, while protecting nearby structures.

Endoscopic and coblation techniques may be priced differently, so ask which one a quote covers.

The evidence is the same as for standard adenoidectomy. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges notes that most children having grommets do not need their adenoids removed. Surgery is considered for persistent blocked nose, sleep-disordered breathing or recurring problems despite treatment.

See the adenoidectomy page.

Most children go home on the day of surgery. East Kent Hospitals NHS advises that a sore throat may last up to a week and that children usually need 7 to 10 days off school. Any bleeding from the nose or mouth should be checked urgently.
