A adenoidectomia : reflexão sobre a sua descoberta e evolução

Abstract

A hipertrofia e a infeção dos adenoides, assim como as complicações associadas, são um problema bastante frequente na população pediátrica. A existência dos adenoides foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1661 por Conrad Victor Schneider. No entanto, só em 1868, Hans Wilhelm Meyer, ao descrever a primeira adenoidectomia e os resultados subsequentes, estabeleceu a relação entre os adenoides e doença otológica. Este procedimento foi aceite, progressivamente, como uma forma de tratamento de várias morbilidades, tais como: otite, apneia do sono, atraso na fala e défices cognitivos, entre outras, embora pudessem ser identificadas e interpretadas de outra forma. Desde a sua descoberta, a adenoidectomia passou a ser um dos procedimentos pediátricos mais comuns. A evolução tecnológica e na área da saúde permitiu o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas, contudo, o método clássico mantém a sua relevância. Neste trabalho, pretendo expor a história da valorização clínica dos adenoides, evolução do tratamento da hipertrofia dos adenoides, focando-me essencialmente na sua remoção cirúrgica: a adenoidectomia.

Adenoids hypertrophy and it's infection as well as it’s complications are a common problem among pediatric population. Although adenoids existance was described for the first time in 1661 by Conrad Victor Schneider, only in 1868 Hans Wilhelm Meyer has demonstrated the relation between the adenoids and otological disease, by describing the first adenoidectomy and the subsequente results. This procedure was progressively accepted as a treatment for several morbidities as otitis, speach impairment and cognitive deficits among others, though they could be identified and interpretated in other ways. Since it’s discovery, adenoidectomy became one of the most common pediatric procedures, The tecnological and health evolution alowed the development of new techniques although the classical method mantains it’s relevance. In this work I pretend to expose the history of adenoid’s clinical valorization, the evolution of adenoids hypertrophy’s treatment, focusing essencially on it’s surgical removal: adenoidectomy.
