Many dangerous complications…
Adenoids are lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx. Children with chronic adenoiditis often have a runny nose and prolonged nasal congestion. If not treated promptly, it can cause complications such as: acute and chronic otitis media, sinusitis, posterior pharyngeal abscess, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, craniofacial growth...; especially can cause complications of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. In addition, the disease can also cause snoring and difficulty breathing, affecting the child's brain development.
Tonsils are lymph nodes, located on both sides of the back of the throat, preventing bacteria or viruses from entering the body through the nose or mouth. Tonsillitis often occurs when the infection or virus becomes overloaded, causing them to swell and become inflamed. Children with chronic tonsillitis have fever, sore throat many times a year, itchy and burning throat, difficulty swallowing, accompanied by cough... Tonsillitis can cause dangerous complications such as: peritonsillar abscess, purulent tonsillitis, cervical lymph nodes, otitis media, sinusitis, blood infection, acute rheumatic fever (polyarthritis, myocarditis); acute glomerulonephritis...; can also cause snoring, difficulty breathing, sleep apnea.
However, not everyone has the knowledge and understanding of the above ear, nose and throat diseases to detect and treat them promptly; avoiding dangerous complications that may occur.
Signs that patients with these diseases should undergo surgery, according to Master - Resident Doctor Pham Dinh Canh - Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Vinh General Hospital: "Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are indicated when: Tonsillitis/adenoiditis recurs many times a year, affecting the quality of life; Severe tonsillitis/adenoiditis causes local complications, neighboring complications and distant complications such as: Peritonsillar abscess, posterior pharyngeal abscess, otitis media, sinusitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, rheumatic heart disease, sepsis, etc.; Tonsillitis causes dysfunction of the airway, food, and voice such as: snoring, sleep apnea, difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, bad breath... and some other rare causes such as tonsil tumors, or tonsillectomy in organ transplant patients...".
However, in the past, when it came to tonsillectomy or surgery for ear, nose and throat diseases, many patients, especially children, were often afraid and haunted by pain, blood loss, long recovery time, and many complications.
Eliminate the fear of tonsillectomy with modern techniques
Understanding that, Vinh General Hospital applies new advanced technologies:Plasma tonsillectomy; Plasma endoscopic adenoidectomy;Bringing the experience of ear-nose-throat surgery to patients becomes much gentler, faster and safer.
Child CTH, 8 years old in Dien Chau, used to have frequent coughs, fevers, sickness, and runny noses for many months without a clear cause. He came to see a doctor atVinh General Hospital, was prescribed a tonsillectomy by the doctor. With the plasma knife surgery, the baby had little pain and recovered after just over a day.
Ms. Bach Thi T, 38 years old, mother of CTH, felt that the tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for her daughter with a plasma knife was surprisingly gentle. Ms. T happily said: “I had my tonsils removed using the traditional method before, it was very painful and I lost a lot of blood. I recovered after 7 days and was terrified until now. But this time, when my daughter was diagnosed with adenoiditis and chronic tonsillitis, I treated her with oral medication but it kept recurring, so I had to take her to Vinh General Hospital for examination and consultation for surgery using a new technique. The surgery was performed with the help of an anesthesiologist, so I felt that she was not afraid, in pain or lost blood like I had to go through in the past, and recovered quickly. I am excited to have found a reputable medical facility to place my trust in."

Pham Van Son - Deputy Director, Head of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Vinh General Hospital, said: "There are many surgical techniques for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy currently applied in major hospitals, but the Plasma knife stands out with advantages that leading experts choose for patients because: The cutting temperature is very low, below 40 degrees, while if cutting with an electric knife, the temperature is about 300-500 degrees, which can easily affect the surrounding area, causing pain; The hemostatic ability of Plasma technology is very good; The scraping and suction head of the knife is very flexible, easily reaching the hidden corners of the adenoids, supporting the adenoidectomy process more thoroughly... Therefore, after surgery, the patient has less pain, so they do not abstain from talking, eat and drink early, the patient recovers faster, and has less impact.to activities. Especially the surgery has very little blood loss so after surgery the patient almost returns to normal".
