[Visualization of the operative field by adenotome of a new design].

The article describes design characteristics of a new adenotome model for surgery under anesthesia. The results of adenotomy under anesthesia were analysed for 53 patients aged 3 to 14 years made with Beckman's adenotome and the new device. Surgical anatomy of the nasopharynx before the intervention, variants of correlations between adenoid vegetations and other anatomic formations are described. Individual adjustment of the size of the adenotome currete by the distance between Eustachian cushins of the nasopharynx is discussed. The new design of adenotome improves visualization of the operative field during the operation and visual control of the course of surgery.
