message: Adenoidectomy is often performed on children between the ages of 1-6 years as adenoids provide aid to the body's immune system. That makes no sense — if they're helpful, why remove them? Jpatokal (talk) 07:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It seems strange to me as well. A guess would be that there is a missing in younger children, but the text should be based on more than guesses. Phizq (talk) 16:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huh? 

message: Paragraphs three and four of "History"  are very similar, if not identical, to paragraphs two, three, four and five, in "Adenoidectomy" , section headed 'history of the procedure', published in Medscape, author John E McClay. Neither in Medscape nor Wikipedia are there references for the claims made, most notably the association between enuresis and obstructive sleep apnea. If I am in error, I would be happy to be corrected.Mdscottis (talk) 22:14, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adenoidectomy and enuresis 

message: It seems that there is contemporary information on the frequency of tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy.
For example, the following is from Pubmed:
"In 1996, an estimated 441,870 ± 23,315 children underwent some form of adenotonsillar surgery in the ambulatory and inpatient settings (60,034 ± 6994 tonsillectomies, 255,217 ± 18,960 adenotonsillectomies, and 126,619 ± 11,627 adenoidectomies), while in 2006, the total rose to 695,029 ± 36,979 children (58,111 ± 9645 tonsillectomies, 506,778 ± 32,054 adenotonsillectomies, and 129,540 ± 15,714 adenoidectomies). However, when examined according to infectious indications, a notable decline in the population rate of tonsillectomy from 0.62 per 1000 children in 1996 to 0.53 per 1000 in 2006 was found (P = 0.252). Moreover, the larger decline in the rate of adenotonsillectomy for infectious indications from 2.20 per 1000 to 1.46 per 1000 was significant (P = 0.003). There was no significant change adenoidectomy rates for chronic infectious etiologies (0.25 versus 0.21 per 1000, P = 0.326).
CONCLUSION:
Although there was an overall increase in the rate of performance of adenotonsillar surgery, population adjusted performance rates of these procedures specifically for infectious indications declined from 1996 to 2006."
I was thinking of replacing present information with something that incorporated the above.
