Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the potential link between adenoidectomy (a surgical procedure to remove adenoid tissue) and the risk of developing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), specifically Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) among children, in the context of the role of gut-associated lymphoid tissue in immune modulation.
- - A pooled meta-analysis was conducted between multiple observational studies, and results showed a significant association between appendicectomy and CD, while there was a notable association between tonsillectomy and CD as well, but no significant link to UC from appendicectomy.
- - The findings suggest that while removing adenoid or tonsil tissue may be linked to an increased risk of CD
