DEPARTMENT OF ENT

Ear surgeries can help revive hearing, reduce pain, and enhance the quality of life for those suffering from various ear-related conditions. Our top ENT specialist in Delhi are well-versed in performing surgeries such as:

• Cochlear implantation (Common surgery for repairing a hole in the eardrum)
  Tympanoplasty (Surgery using a microscope or endoscope – to repair holes in the eardrum that do not recover on their own)
• Myringoplasty (It is a procedure that aims to repair the perforated eardrum to improve hearing and prevent middle ear infections)
• Myringotomy (Myringotomy is a procedure that involves making a small incision in the eardrum to relieve pressure and fluid buildup in the middle ear)
• Stapedotomy (It is a minimally invasive process that involves substituting the stapes bone in the middle ear to improve hearing)
• Radical mastoidectomy (It involves removing the mastoid air cells in the skull to treat chronic ear infections and prevent the spread of infection to the brain)
• Ossiculoplasty (Ossiculoplasty is a surgical method that involves fixing or replacing the tiny bones in the middle ear to improve hearing in cases of hearing loss or harm)
• Facial nerve decompression (This surgery involves reducing pressure on the facial nerve, commonly caused by diseases such as Bell’s palsy or tumours, to improve facial function and reduce pain)

Nose surgeries, also known as rhinoplasties, are cosmetic or reconstructive processes developed to adjust the size, shape, or function of the nose. These surgeries can improve facial symmetry and enhance breathing, among other advantages. Surgeries include:

• Septoplasty (Septoplasty involves straightening the septum, the wall of bone and cartilage between the nostrils, to improve airflow and ease breathing problems)
• FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that involves using an endoscope to treat chronic sinusitis by clearing blockages, decreasing inflammation, and improving drainage of the sinuses)
• CSF rhinorrhea repair (It involves fixing a cerebrospinal fluid leak due to injury, infection, or other underlying medical needs by closing the skull’s hole that allows the fluid to leak)
• Endoscopic DCR (Endoscopic DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves creating a new drainage pathway for tears by connecting the lacrimal sac to the nasal cavity)
• Endoscopic Orbital decompression (It involves removing bone and other tissues from the orbit of the eye to relieve pressure on the eye and alleviate signs of thyroid eye disease or other diseases affecting the eye)
• Turbinoplasty (Turbinoplasty involves decreasing the size of the turbinates, small bony structures in the nose that can induce breathing problems when enlarged, to improve nasal airflow and relieve symptoms of congestion)

Throat surgeries are processes to treat different conditions related to the throat, including cancer, sleep apnea, and swallowing conditions. These surgeries may involve the removal of tissue, reconstruction of structures, or the use of minimally invasive techniques. Surgeries performed by our best ENT doctor in Delhi are:

• Adenotonsillectomy (It is a surgical procedure that involves removing both the adenoids and tonsils, usually performed in children to relieve breathing difficulties, chronic diseases, and sleep apnea)
• UPPP (UPPP (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) involves removing or cutting the uvula, soft palate, and pharyngeal tissue to treat snoring and sleep apnea by enlarging the airway in the throat)
• MLS for vocal polyp (MLS (Micro laryngeal surgery) for vocal polyps involves releasing a noncancerous growth on the vocal cord using a specialised endoscope and laser technology, commonly committed to restoring normal voice function)
• Foreign body removal (It involves removing any object or substance that has entered the body via a natural orifice, open injury, or injection to control further damage or infection)

Head and neck surgeries contain many processes that diagnose and treat conditions involving the structures in the head and neck region, including the ears, nose, throat, mouth, and surrounding tissues. Some surgeries are:

• Thyroidectomy (This involves removing all or part of the thyroid gland to treat diseases such as thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism, or goitre)
• Parotidectomy (It involves removing part or all of the parotid gland, a salivary gland discovered in front of the ear, usually executed to treat tumours or reduce inflammation of the gland)
• Maxillectomy (Maxillectomy is a procedure that involves releasing all or part of the maxilla, the upper jawbone, typically conducted to treat cancers of the mouth, sinuses, or face)
• Thyroglossal cyst removal (This surgery involves removing a fluid-filled sac that expands from embryonic tissue near the thyroid gland, commonly performed to relieve signs such as pain, infection, or problem swallowing)
• Submandibular gland excision (It involves removing one or both submandibular salivary glands located under the jawbone, typically conducted to treat tumours or relieve chronic gland disorders)
• Thyroplasty (It involves adjusting the thyroid cartilage to enhance voice quality or ease breathing problems, normally used to treat vocal cord paralysis, muscle tension dysphonia, or laryngeal trauma)
• Laryngectomy (This surgery involves removing the larynx, usually performed to treat laryngeal cancer, and making a permanent neck opening via which the patient breathes)

ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeries can be accomplished using various techniques depending on the type of procedure needed. Some surgeries may be conducted using endoscopic techniques, while others may need standard open surgery. The surgeon may use general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation, and the surgical approach will depend on the afflicted region and intensity. Your surgeon will choose the most appropriate surgical method for your particular case.

The symptoms of sinusitis can vary but usually include facial pain, headache, nasal congestion and discharge, problem breathing, fever, and fatigue. Patients may also experience a toothache, cough, sore throat, or bad breath. If you doubt you may have sinusitis, you must see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

The symptoms of ENT problems can vary depending on the specific situation. Still, they may have ear pain, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, sore throat, hoarseness, problem swallowing, or differences in taste or smell. Other symptoms may include headaches, facial pain, and swelling or lumps in the head and neck area. See a top ENT specialist if you experience any of these symptoms to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Head and neck surgery is a specialised field that entails diagnosing and treating different diseases affecting the head and neck area, including the skull, face, neck, and throat. The surgeries can involve various techniques, such as removing tumours, rebuilding facial features, fixing injuries, and managing functional or cosmetic issues.

There are many methods to control or keep ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disorders from progressing. The most common ENT disorders are infections and allergies, and some genetic issues (like a deviated septum) can make you more prone to recurrent symptoms.
