Introduction: Adult spinal Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) presents a treatment challenge due to ongoing controversies. Traditional approaches such as curettage with bone grafting and internal fixation are preferred for severe cases involving mechanical instability, neurological deficits, or deformity. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of a customized approach involving simple posterior instrumentation without curettage or bone grafting in treating adult spinal LCH.

Article Synopsis
- Adenoidectomy is a common ENT procedure, and this study compares the effectiveness of endoscopic powered adenoidectomy (EMA) to the traditional curettage approach (CA) to see if EMA could be a better option.
- A total of 240 patients were divided into two groups, with one group undergoing CA and the other EMA, revealing that while EMA took longer and had more blood loss, it resulted in more complete adenoid removals and significantly less post-operative pain.
- The study concluded that EMA is safer and more effective for complete adenoid removal and causes less pain post-surgery compared to conventional methods, although CA has the advantage of being quicker and causing less bleeding during the procedure.
