Introduction: Recurrent/residual adenoidal hypertrophy after adenotonsillectomy in children can result in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to assess the polysomnographic (PSG) outcomes of revision adenoidectomy in children with recurrent/residual adenoidal hypertrophy and OSA.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study that included children with sleep studies that confirmed OSA and known history of adenotonsillectomy who were diagnosed with adenoidal hypertrophy and subsequently underwent revision adenoidectomy. Pre- and postoperative PSG variables of revision adenoidectomy were included in the analysis.
Results: A total of 20 children were included in the study. The cohort included 13 males and 7 females with a mean age of 7.8 years (± 3.6 years). The mean BMI z score was 1.96 [1.31, 2.43]. The median duration from adenotonsillectomy performance was 2.3 years [1.4, 4.0]. Overall, revision adenoidectomy resulted in significant improvements in multiple respiratory parameters, including AHI 6.6 [1.4, 13. 7] vs 14.8 [7.4, 20.7], p = 0.02; oxygen desaturations nadir 88.0 [84.0, 93.0] vs 80.0 [72.2, 88.9], p = 0.01; supine AHI 8.6 [1.5, 14.3] vs 17.6 [8.3, 30.2], p = 0.02; and arousal index 12.2 [9.6, 15.7] vs 18.9 [13.4, 24.9], p = 0.04.
Conclusions: Children with recurrent/residual adenoidal hypertrophy after adenotonsillectomy who undergo revision adenoidectomy experience improvements in respiratory event, gas exchange, and arousal index.

Objective: Assess the long-term outcome of pediatric myringoplasty.

Objectives: The aim is to investigate the influence of an active otitis media on the success rate of tympanoplasty in patients with a chronic otitis media (COM) and a tympanic membrane perforation.
Databases Reviewed: PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library.
Methods: The inclusion criteria were studies on closure rates of tympanoplasty performed in COM patients of any age with a tympanic membrane perforation caused by COM.

Objectives: Previous studies indicate children who pass an Asleep Room Air Challenge (AsRAC) do not have significant postoperative adverse respiratory events after adenotonsillectomy (T&A). Subsequently, we revised our overnight monitoring (OM) criteria, allowing patients with an obstructive apnea/hypopnea index (OAHI) ≤20 or nonsevere obesity (Class I) to be considered for same-day surgery (SDS) if they passed an AsRAC. Our hypothesis is that our modified OM criteria would not increase the return visits or readmission rates for patients undergoing SDS within 48 h or 15 days of T&A.

Objectives: Sleep apnea is a prevalent issue in children, associated with significant morbidities such as cardiovascular and neurocognitive disorders. There is increasing interest in intra-capsular tonsillectomy by coblation (ICTC) as a method to address obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. However, the literature remains controversial regarding the most effective intra-capsular tonsillectomy (ICT) technique with the least morbidity.

Objectives: Coblation intracapsular tonsillectomy (ICT) is increasingly being used in the paediatric population because of the rapid recovery and low rates of complications associated with it. There is, however, a risk of symptomatic regrowth with this technique. The objective of our study is to establish the rate of, and risks for, revision surgery over time in a major tertiary referral centre with a large cohort of paediatric Coblation ICT cases.
