Abstrakt:	Background Adenoidectomy is the most commonly performed pediatric operation worldwide and one of the most frequent otorhinolaryngological procedures. It is a safe procedure with a low risk of complications. However, after a successful adenoidectomy, few patients experience symptoms of nasal obstruction, suggestive of adenoid regrowth. Because of various risk factors, patients require a revision adenoidectomy. This study aimed to determine the incidence of revision adenoidectomy at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH). Moreover, we aimed to identify the characteristics and factors that present a risk of revision adenoidectomy in pediatric patients. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 680 pediatric patients (age below 18 years) of Saudi and non-Saudi descent who underwent a prior adenoidectomy with or without tonsillectomy, as well as those who underwent a revision adenoidectomy. The data from 2015 to 2018 were obtained from the hospital medical records using a data collection sheet. The data were entered on to a Microsoft excel sheet, and descriptive statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS software V21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results The incidence of revision adenoidectomy at our center was 2.79%. We found significant relationships between comorbidities and revision adenoidectomy (p=0.014), initial adenoidectomy without tonsillectomy and revision adenoidectomy (p=0.001), and a young age at initial surgery and revision adenoidectomy. The mean age at initial adenoidectomy was 2.5 years (standard deviation [SD], ±0.607 years), whereas that at revision adenoidectomy was 1.89 years (SD, ±0.737 years). The mean interval between primary and revision adenoidectomies was 42.32 months (range, 9-86 months). Conclusion The incidence of revision adenoidectomy at KAUH was 2.79%. Moreover, only adenoidectomy without a tonsillectomy presented a high risk of adenoid regrowth necessitating a revision adenoidectomy. Therefore, we recommend counseling patients to undergo an adenoidectomy with tonsillectomy to reduce the risk of revision adenoidectomy.
