Thirty-four children with clinically and radiologically confirmed adenoid hypertrophy underwent otoscopy, impedance tests, active anterior rhinomanometry and nasal mucociliary clearance evaluation before and 6 months after adenoidectomy. Mucociliary clearance velocity increased significantly while binasal resistances decreased after surgery. The authors conclude that mucociliary evaluation and objective measurements of nasal resistances should be added to impedance tests as indicators to adenoidectomy.

Abstract
Thirty-four children with clinically and radiologically confirmed adenoid hypertrophy underwent otoscopy, impedance tests, active anterior rhinomanometry and nasal mucociliary clearance evaluation before and 6 months after adenoidectomy. Mucociliary clearance velocity increased significantly while binasal resistances decreased after surgery. The authors conclude that mucociliary evaluation and objective measurements of nasal resistances should be added to impedance tests as indicators to adenoidectomy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
