AI EXPLANATION: An adenoidectomy is an outpatient surgical procedure to remove the adenoids in individuals aged 12 and older who have not previously had them removed. Adenoids are small pads of lymphoid tissue located in the back of the nasal cavity above the roof of the mouth. When they become swollen or chronically infected, they can block the airway, cause persistent nasal obstruction, or contribute to recurring ear and sinus issues.
