Ears, Nose, Throat (ENT)
ENT medicine deals with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions in the ears, nose, throat and associated structures. This can include anything from hearing loss to sinusitis and throat surgery.
Tonsillectomy
Tonsillectomy, is a surgery to remove the tonsils that often causes recurrent infections or shortness of breath. The surgery reduces infections, improves breathing and increases quality of life, especially in children.
Sinuses
Sinus surgery, such as endoscopic sinus surgery, treats chronic sinusitis by opening blockages and improving drainage. The operation reduces symptoms, improves sinus function and increases quality of life.
Crooked nasal septum
Surgery for a misaligned nasal septum, called septoplasty, corrects misalignments in the nasal septum that cause difficulty breathing. The surgery improves airflow through the nose, reduces breathing difficulties and increases quality of life.
The nasal clams
Reduction of the nasal cones, or turbinate reduction, treats enlarged nasal cones that cause difficulty breathing. The operation improves airflow through the nose, reduces symptoms and increases quality of life.
Balloon dilatation of Eustachian tubes
Balloon dilation of Eustachian tubes is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked Eustachian tubes that cause earache and hearing loss. The procedure improves drainage, reduces symptoms, and improves hearing.
Balloon dilatation of sinuses
Balloon dilation of the sinuses is a minimally invasive procedure to treat chronic sinusitis by opening blockages and improving drainage. The procedure reduces symptoms, improves sinus function and increases quality of life.
