Removal Of Adenoids Research Articles

A MODIFIED ADENOID CURETTE.

I recently read a paper before the Southern Section of the American Otological, Rhinological and Laryngological Association advocating the removal of adenoids by one sweep of the curette and without the employment of a general anesthetic. Since this paper will soon be published, and since the plan there suggested is easily misinterpreted unless the instruments are inspected, I desire to show the exact method of using them. Note the narrow shanks viewed at distal ends, and the width of same when viewed in profile. Note very narrow rectangular cutting blade. I have so modified the shanks and cutting blade of the Beckman curette that the shanks will occupy practically no space when the instrument is inserted into the nasopharynx. The cutting blade has been so much narrowed that it occupies the minimum of antero-posterior space. The height of the fenestra is also greater than in the Beckman curette. All these

REMARKS CONCERNING THE MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT OF RHINOPHARYNGEAL TONSILS BY THE GENERAL PRACTITIONER.

As teachers in the graduate schools of general medicine we should endeavor to give that instruction which our matriculants can safely make use of after returning to their homes. I know that they receive no more enthusiastic nor more frequent instruction than that concerning adenoids. I wish to address you in behalf of those children who live in the country districts, far from the larger towns, from whence it is either impossible or inexpedient for them to be taken in order that a specialist may treat them according to some of the many vaunted methods. It is possible to teach the general practitioner to perform the various operations suggested for the removal of adenoids, but the time required for the proper instruction in the delicate practical manipulative technic of certain methods of procedure makes many of them unfeasible. Operations with the Lowenberg's forceps or some of its modifications should not

REMARKS ON THE AFTER-EFFECTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE REMOVAL OF ADENOID TISSUE AT THE VAULT OF THE PHARYNX.

In view of the great frequency of operations for the removal of adenoids from the nasopharynx, it is a little surprising that serious accidents or sequences are not more often heard of. For this reason it might seem superfluous to the philosopher for any one to attempt the awakening of apprehension over so simple and safe a surgical procedure as this one; still, it is not by any means entirely devoid of grave complications. Having met with a few cases where the operation was followed by troublesome results, it will not be amiss to bring the subject before the Section for discussion. Classification. —For convenience of consideration, cases of adenoids or lymphoid hypertrophy at the vault of the pharynx may be classified as: simple, or those cases presenting enlargement or overgrowth of the lymphoid tissue at the vault of the pharynx only; and, complex, or those cases in which the

A SET OF NEW CURETTES FOR OPERATING IN THE NASO-PHARYNGEAL VAULT.

The cuts given herewith represent a set of curettes which I have devised for operating in the vault of the pharynx. They are specially designed for the removal of adenoids from the vault, granulations, and for curetting the mucous membrane in order to stimulate it to healthy functional activity. These curettes are made in pairs of which there are two. Each pair is composed of two sizes for large and small vaults and is designed for special conditions and localities which are described with each. It has been found that these curettes meet practically all the requirements in operating upon adenoids within the vault, except tumors that are too large to pass within the ring of the curette. Fig. 1 represents the first pair, which is adapted to the posterior walls of the vault only. It does not reach the roof of the vault, because the blade is not set
