Introduction: This study aims to investigate the association of recurrent adenoid vegetation with cigarette exposure and allergy in long-term follow-up of patients undergoing adenoidectomy. Methods: We included patients who underwent only adenoidectomy in our clinic between the years 2010-2014. All of the patients were evaluated by systemic assessment and physical examination. The incidence of cigarette exposure and total IgE increase were investigated and compared in patients with recurrent adenoid vegetation. Results: In this study, among 30 cases, 18 of them were male and 12 of them were female whose age ranged from four to 17 years. The average is 9.70±3.71 years. The BMI measures ranged from 8.88 to 26.23, with an average of 17.11±4.49. 15 cases had a recurrence of adenoid vegetation. 15 cases had no recurrence. Total IgE was found high in five of the patients. 16 patients had allergic rhinitis. Three patients had asthma and two patients had atopic dermatitis. There was no statistically significant difference between recurrent and control group in terms of smoking exposure, total IgE level and the presence of allergic disease (p>0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: The findings suggested that there is a significant relationship between atopy and AV in the literature. According to these findings, no significant association was found between AV recurrence and allergy. Because of the small population of this study, the results of this study were accepted as preliminary findings.
