Overview
The adenoids are a single clump of tissue that’s very high in the back of your throat, behind your nose. Doctors believe that the adenoids help trap germs so they can’t get further into the body.
The microdebrider has a curved tip which helps the surgeon put the instrument where it’s needed to remove the adenoids. Because this equipment is more precise, there’s less risk of damage to surrounding tissue.
