ENT
Ear
- Myringotomy: Insertion of small tubes (tympanostomy tubes) into the eardrum to drain fluid and reduce ear infections, often used in children.
Nose
- Rhinoplasty: Reshaping of the nose to improve appearance or function, often for cosmetic reasons or to correct structural issues affecting breathing.
- Septoplasty: Correction of a deviated septum, the cartilage and bone that divide the nasal passages, to improve airflow and reduce breathing problems.
- Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Use of endoscopic tools to remove polyps, tumors, or blockages from the sinuses to treat chronic sinusitis or other sinus conditions.
- Turbinate Reduction: Shrinkage or removal of swollen turbinates (structures inside the nose) to improve nasal breathing.
Throat
- Tonsillectomy: Removal of the tonsils, usually due to recurrent infections or obstructive sleep apnea.
- Adenoidectomy: Removal of the adenoids (lymphoid tissue located at the back of the nasal cavity), often done in conjunction with tonsillectomy or to address chronic nasal obstruction.
