Summary

This study aims to determine the effect of adenotonsillectomy (AT) surgery on the progression of spinal curvature in children with mild sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and concurrent scoliosis, as well as its potential role in preventing the de novo development of scoliosis in children with SDB.

Conditions

  • Sleep-disordered Breathing (SDB)
  • Idiopathic Scoliosis
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Adenotonsillectomy (AT) - removal of adenoids and tonsils

Standard clinical adenotonsillectomy within 4 weeks post randomization in addition to information about healthy sleep habits for children and appropriate clinical referrals for management of co-morbidities.

OTHER

Watchful Waiting with Supportive Care

Children will receive information about healthy sleep habits and appropriate clinical referrals for management of co-morbidities. They will be closely monitored and re-evaluated for AT after the primary 12 month monitoring period.
