Nasal Endoscopy

Nasal endoscopy involves the examination of the nasal passages and sinuses using a flexible tube with a camera. It’s used to diagnose conditions like sinusitis, nasal polyps, and allergies. The procedure is quick, and local anesthesia may be used for comfort.

Laryngoscopy

Laryngoscopy is the examination of the larynx (voice box) using a scope. It’s essential for diagnosing voice disorders, throat discomfort, and other issues affecting the larynx. The procedure can be performed in different ways, depending on the required examination depth.

Tympanometry

Tympanometry tests the function of the middle ear by measuring its response to sound and pressure changes. It’s useful in diagnosing conditions like ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, and perforated eardrums. The test is painless and quick.

Allergy Testing

Allergy testing in ENT identifies specific allergens causing symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Skin prick tests or blood tests are commonly used. Identifying the allergens is key to managing and treating allergic reactions effectively.

Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax removal is a common procedure to clear blocked ear canals. This can be done using irrigation, suction, or special instruments. It’s a safe and effective way to improve hearing and relieve discomfort caused by excessive wax buildup.

Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy

Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy involve the removal of tonsils and adenoids, often due to recurrent infections or breathing problems. These surgeries are common in children but can be performed at any age. Recovery includes managing sore throat and dietary restrictions.

Myringotomy with Tube Insertion

Myringotomy with tube insertion is a procedure to treat chronic ear infections. It involves making a small incision in the eardrum and placing a tube to ventilate the middle ear. This helps reduce the frequency and severity of ear infections.

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)

FESS is a minimally invasive surgery to treat chronic sinus infections. It involves using a nasal endoscope to remove blockages and improve sinus drainage. This surgery can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with chronic sinusitis.

Septoplasty

Septoplasty corrects a deviated nasal septum, improving airflow through the nose. It involves reshaping the bone and cartilage to straighten the septum. This surgery is often recommended for patients with breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum.

Thyroidectomy

Thyroidectomy, the surgical removal of the thyroid gland, is performed for conditions like thyroid cancer, goiter, or hyperthyroidism. The procedure can be total or partial, depending on the extent of the condition. Postoperative care includes hormone replacement therapy if necessary.

Head and Neck Cancer Surgeries

Surgical treatment for head and neck cancers varies based on the cancer type and stage. It may involve removing a tumor and some surrounding tissue, and in more advanced cases, reconstructive surgery. These surgeries aim to remove cancer while preserving function and appearance as much as possible.

Hearing Conservation

Protecting hearing is vital, especially in noisy environments. Using ear protection, avoiding prolonged exposure to loud sounds, and regular hearing check-ups are key strategies for hearing conservation.

Voice Care

Maintaining a healthy voice involves proper hydration, avoiding excessive throat clearing, and resting your voice when needed. Voice care is essential for people who use their voice professionally, like singers and teachers.

Nasal Hygiene

Good nasal hygiene includes regular nasal washing, avoiding irritants, and managing allergies. These practices help maintain clear nasal passages and prevent infections.
