ENT Surgery

ENT surgery, also known as otolaryngology or head and neck surgery, involves medical and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat, as well as related structures of the head and neck. ENT surgeons are also referred to as otolaryngologists.

Common Types of ENT Surgeries:

1. 1. Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy
   • Removal of the tonsils and/or adenoids commonly performed in children but also in adults with recurrent infections or breathing issues.
2. 2. Sinus Surgery
   • Often done for chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps, endoscopic sinus surgery is minimally invasive and involves clearing blockages in the sinuses.
3. 3. Tympanoplasty
   • A procedure to repair a perforated eardrum, improving hearing or preventing recurrent ear infections.
4. 4. Cochlear Implants
   • For individuals with profound hearing loss, a cochlear implant can provide the sensation of hearing by bypassing damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulating the auditory nerve.
5. 5. Septoplasty
   • Surgery to correct a deviated nasal septum, which can improve breathing and reduce sinus infections.
6. 6. Laryngectomy
   • Removal of part or all of the larynx (voice box), often performed to treat advanced throat cancer.
7. 7. Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy
   • Removal of the thyroid or parathyroid glands, usually due to cancer, hyperthyroidism, or nodules.
8. 8. Myringotomy
   • Small incision in the eardrum to drain fluid or insert a tube to reduce middle ear infections.

Reasons for ENT Surgery:

• • Infections: Chronic or recurrent infections of the ear, nose, or throat.
• • Hearing loss: Conditions like otosclerosis or cholesteatoma.
• • Tumors or cancers: Tumors or cancers of the head, neck, or thyroid.
• • Breathing issues: Such as obstructive sleep apnea or nasal obstructions.
• • Speech or swallowing problems: Conditions that affect the larynx or throat.
