Adenotonsillectomy

When children under the age of 13 are diagnosed with severe snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, this is often due to enlarged adenoids and tonsils. As a result these children would benefit from adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy if warranted by their history and physical exam. Dr. Jerome Vener and Dr. Alen Cohen at C/V ENT Surgical Group, which serves the Los Angeles and Thousand Oaks areas, routinely perform tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in children and young adults with severe snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Many parents will return months after the procedure and report that their children are much more calm and doing better at school since they are now getting restful sleep nightly.
