/ Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy are among the most commonly performed procedures in ENT practice. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are recognized inflammatory markers. This study aims to evaluate the changes in NLR, PLR, and LMR in patients undergoing adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy. : The study group consisted of 980 patients who underwent adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy. Preoperative and postoperative inflammatory markers were measured in all patients. The NLR, LMR, and PLR values were then calculated and analyzed. In patients undergoing adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy, the postoperative NLR was significantly lower than the preoperative NLR. Similarly, the postoperative LMR was significantly higher, and the postoperative PLR was significantly lower compared to their preoperative values. The significant changes in NLR, LMR, and PLR following adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy suggest a reduction in systemic inflammation post-surgery. These findings indicate that these procedures may contribute to the improvement of inflammatory status in patients, highlighting the potential role of these markers in monitoring surgical outcomes.
