ENT Surgery
We are expertise in a full range of medical and surgical services for people with problems of the ear, nose, sinus, head and neck. Our otolaryngology (ENT)/head and neck surgeons perform hundreds of more common procedures, such as removal of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy), repair of eardrum (tympanic membrane) perforations and sinus surgery. And they do highly complex surgeries, such as endoscopy for pituitary tumors, robotic surgery for throat cancer and microsurgery for acoustic neuroma tumors.
What Are The ENT Treatment Options Available
Otology – Treatment of infection, disease and damage to the ear to improve hearing and balance. Neurotologists deal with conditions deep in the middle and inner ear where conditions are more closely linked to the brain.
Rhinology – Treatment of sinus and nasal disorders, including allergy, to relieve pain, ease breathing and improve nasal function.
Laryngology – Treatment of infections of the throat and larynx to ease speech and swallowing.
Head and neck surgery – away from the main ENT systems, specializing in surgery on cysts, glands such as lymph, salivary, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and head and neck cancers.
Facial plastics – this can include aesthetic procedures such as rhinoplasty (‘nose job’), pinnaplasty (bat ears), face lifts or reconstructive such as re-setting the jaw. There is a big cross-over here with the work of plastic and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
Paediatrics – there are many ENT conditions, often congenital, that require treatment at a very young age. These include airway problems, infections of adenoids or tonsils that require their removal, and grommets for ‘glue ear’.
