Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT)
Main operations:
Insertion of grommets - to allow air to middle ear in cases of chronic middle ear infectionto assist hearing. This is typically carried out in children and removed when infection clears
(Adeno) - Tonsillectomy - removal of tonsils and/or adenoids to relieve a variety of conditions
Septoplasty - correction of nasal septum to enable clear breathing and prevent obstruction
Endoscopic sinus surgery - minimally invasive surgery for serious cases of inflamed, infected and blocked sinuses
Tracheostomy or “operations on the voice box (larynx)” - creation of an alternative airway in the throat for patients experiencing difficulty breathing
Package Details:
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’
