Adenotomy, antrostomy and Caldwell-Luc operation in the treatment of chronic bronchitis in children.

The study is based on 45 children with chronic bronchitis. Their ages varied between 2 and 15 years, the average being 8 years 6 months. 44 children had diseases of the nose, paranasal sinuses or nasopharynx. Adenotomy was performed on 42 children and 16 of these were helped by this operation. In 22 cases intranasal antrostomy was made in the inferior meatus with a good or satisfactory result in 14. The Caldwell-Luc operation, performed on 14 children, had a good or satisfactory effect on both sinusitis and bronchitis in all cases thus treated.
