Expert Medical Information

Adenoid hypertrophy is a common and frequently-occurring disease in the department of otorhinolaryngology, mainly affecting children. This disease has a significant impact on children's growth and development. In some cases, it can also lead to sinusitis, otitis media, etc. Therefore, once adenoid hypertrophy is diagnosed and the symptoms are relatively obvious, generally, surgical treatment is required.

However, there are many factors influencing the specific cost, which is greatly related to the region, the level of the hospital, and the surgical method adopted. This situation cannot be generalized. Generally speaking, if the traditional surgical method is used, the resection of adenoid hypertrophy may cost around $7,000 to $10,000. If the currently popular low-temperature plasma surgery is used, generally, about $3,000 more will be needed.
