Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigatethe long-term effect of adenoidectomy on nasal bacterial flora in children with chronically hypertrophied adenoids. Materials and Methods: This study involved 54 consecutive children who underwent adenoidectomy due to adenoid hypertrophy. Nasal swab samples were obtained and cultured prior to the surgery and 6-months postoperatively. The pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria of the nasal flora were identified and microbiological results were statistically compared. Results: Potentially pathogenic bacteria were identified in 33 (61.1%) swab cultures preoperatively and in 13 (24%) cultures 6-months postoperatively (p<0.001). The isolation rate of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae dropped significantly in the post-operative period when compared to the pre-operative samples (all p<0.05). Conclusion: Potentially pathogenic bacteria significantly decreased following adenoidectomy and normal nonpathogenic flora in the nasal cavity has been reestablished in the long-term. Adenoidectomy alters nasal flora and thus, can be effective in preventing recurrent sinonasal and/or middle ear infections in children.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kronik adenoid hipertrofisi olan çocuklarda, adenoidektominin nazal bakteriyel flora üzerine uzun vadeli etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, adenoid hipertrofisi nedeniyle adenoidektomi yapılan 54 ardışık çocuk hasta değerlendirildi. Çalışmaya alınan hastalarda, operasyon öncesi ve 6 ay post-operatif dönemde nazal sürüntü örnekleri alınarak ve kültür çalışması yapıldı. Nazal floradaki patojenik ve patojenik olmayan bakteriler belirlenerek, mikrobiyolojik sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Potansiyel patojen bakteriler pre-operatif 33 (%61.1) nazal kültürlerde izole edilirken, post-operatif 13 (%24) kültürde tespit edildi (p<0.001). Ameliyat öncesi sürüntü örneklerine göre Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae ve Haemophilus influenzae izolasyon oranı post-operatif dönemde anlamlı olarak azaldı (tüm p<0.05). Sonuç: Potansiyel patojen mikroorganizmalar adenoidektomi sonrası uzun dönemde anlamlı derecede azalmış ve patojen olmayan normal flora bakterilerinde artış izlenmiştir. Adenoidektomi, nazal florayı uzun vadede olumlu yönde etkileyerek çocuklarda tekrarlayan sinonazal ve /veya orta kulak enfeksiyonlarının önlenmesinde etkili olabilir.
