Services Offered at our ENT Department

Nasal and Sinus Services:

• Endoscopic sinus surgery: This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat numerous sinus-associated conditions such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and sinus blockages. It involves the use of an endoscope, a thin tube with a digital camera, to visualize and remove blockages, polyps, or damaged tissue in the sinus cavities. Endoscopic sinus surgery aims to improve sinus drainage, reduce infection, and alleviate symptoms like facial pain, congestion, and ordinary infections.
• Traditional Nasal Surgery: Traditional nasal surgery refers to surgical procedures performed at the nose that do not involve endoscopic procedures. These surgical procedures can address issues like deviated septum correction, nasal valve collapse repair, and cosmetic nose reshaping (rhinoplasty). Traditional nasal surgery may be necessary for complex cases or when a more extensive intervention is required.
• Rhinoplasty for Nasal Fractures and Foreign Bodies: Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reconstruct the nose. When used to deal with nasal fractures, it involves correcting any deformities or misalignments resulting from a traumatic injury. In cases involving foreign bodies in the nose, rhinoplasty may be used to safely take away foreign bodies and repair any associated damage, restoring normal nasal function and aesthetics.

Audiometry Services:

• Diagnosis of Hearing Loss: Audiologists use specialized equipment to assess a person's hearing skills. This often includes audiometric tests that measure the extent and type of hearing loss. The results help in identifying the underlying causes of hearing impairment, whether it's because of age-associated factors, noise exposure, or other medical conditions.
• Treatment of Hearing Loss: Depending on the type and severity of hearing loss, treatment options may vary. They can include hearing aids, cochlear implants, assistive listening devices, and rehabilitation strategies to help people manage and improve their hearing abilities.

Larynx and Pharynx Services:

• Diagnosis of Vocal Cord Disorders: Contemporary equipment, such as flexible laryngoscopy and microscopy techniques, enables precise examination of the larynx and vocal cords. This allows for the early detection and diagnosis of conditions that have an effect on voice quality and function, such as vocal cord nodules, polyps, and paralysis.
• Treatment of Benign and Malignant Tumors in the Larynx: Advanced diagnostic tools and surgical techniques are employed to identify and treat each benign and malignant tumor in the larynx and pharynx. Treatment options may include surgical procedures, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, depending on the nature and stage of the tumor.

Sleep Medicine Services:

• Diagnosis and Treatment of Snoring: Snoring may be a sign of underlying sleep-associated issues, such as sleep apnea. Sleep medicine specialists use various diagnostic equipment, including sleep studies conducted in sleep labs, to assess the severity and reasons for snoring. Once recognized, treatment options may consist of lifestyle modifications, continuous effective airway stress (CPAP) therapy, or surgical procedures by coblation.
• Treatment of Sleep Disturbances: Sleep disturbances encompass a range of problems, including insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and parasomnias. Sleep medicine practitioners utilize the latest technology to diagnose these conditions correctly. Treatment strategies may encompass behavioural therapies, medical management, and lifestyle changes to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.

Pediatric ENT services

• Recurrent Ear Infections: Children are more susceptible to ear infections due to the anatomy in their Eustachian tubes, which are shorter and more horizontal than in adults. Pediatric ENT specialists trained to diagnose and manage recurrent ear infections, also known as otitis media. Treatment may include antibiotics, ear tube placement (tympanostomy tubes), or surgical intervention to prevent recurrent infections.
• Adenoid and Tonsil Issues: Enlarged adenoids and tonsils are common problems in pediatric patients. These conditions can lead to problems such as sleep apnea, snoring persistent throat infections, and respiratory problems. Pediatric ENT specialists assess the dimensions and function of these systems and recommend appropriate treatments that can range from watchful waiting to surgical removal (adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy) while being essential
