Origin of the name Sydney: Transferred use of the surname originating as a Norman baronial name taken from the place-name St. Denis in Normandy. Alternatively, the name arose independently in England and is derived from the Old English elements sÄ«d (extensive, wide) and ieg (island in a river, riverside meadow).
Sigmoidectomy surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) Sigmoidectomy surgery removes all or part of the sigmoid colon - the S-shaped part of the large intestine just before the rectum. Where possible the two healthy ends of the intestinal tract are then rejoined. If this is not possible then a stoma may be formed.
The purpose of an adenoidectomy is thus to remove infected adenoids. Since they are often associated with infected tonsils, they are often removed as part of a combined operation that also removes the tonsils, called a T&A (tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy).emographics information is difficult to provide because adenoidectomy is routinely performed in an outpatient setting, for which demographic data are not well recorded. Good information is available from the 1970s and 1980s when the surgery was performed in an inpatient setting.
