The aim of the research was to determine whether the operation of adenoidectomy affected the nasal resistance to airflow. The total nasal respiratory resistance (TNR) was measured in forty-four children admitted for adenoidectomy and myringotomies, with or without tonsillectomy. The measurement was repeated three months post-operatively. There was significant correlation between the pre-operative TNR and the weight of adenoid removed at operation. A history of snoring pre-operatively, which was absent after operation, was related to a high pre-operative TNR and large adenoids. Those children in whom at least one gram of adenoid tissue was removed, were found to have a mean reduction in nasal resistance of 19%.
该研究的目的是确定腺样体切除术是否会影响鼻腔对气流的阻力。对44名因腺样体切除术和鼓膜切开术入院的儿童进行了全鼻呼吸阻力（TNR）测量，这些儿童有的还进行了扁桃体切除术，有的未进行。术后三个月重复测量。术前TNR与术中切除的腺样体重量之间存在显著相关性。术前有打鼾史（术后消失）与术前高TNR和大腺样体有关。发现那些切除至少1克腺样体组织的儿童，其鼻腔阻力平均降低了19%。
