Question 5: is coblator adenoidectomy in pediatric patients associated to less revision rate?
adenoid, adenoid hypertrophy, fibrosis
INFILTRATE, RECURRENCE, ADENOID HYPERTROPHY, FIBROSIS
A different aspect to symptoms or recurrence (question 4), is reintervention. Not all patients with adenoid recurrence have symptoms severe enough to justify surgical reintervention. Some authors have hypothesized that coblation may create fibrosis in the lamina propria and less lymphocyte infiltrate, which may be related to a more stable and definitive control of adenoid hypertrophy [In conclusion, coblation is not associated with a lower revision rate compared to other adenoidectomy techniques.
