Summary

This study is testing whether surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids can slow down or prevent the worsening of spine curves (scoliosis) in children aged 6 to 15 who have mild sleep-disordered breathing. The researchers will measure spine angles and quality of life in 160 children over time. The goal is to see if treating the breathing problem can also help control the spine condition.
