ENT surgeries are done using cutting-edge technology in India. Surgeries include the removal of tumors from the head and neck and are rarely cancerous.

Throat Care

Tonsillectomy or the surgery for removing tonsils and adenoidectomy or removing adenoids are important parts of throat care. Tonsils and adenoids belong to the lymphatic system that contributes to the defense mechanism of the body. You will be recommended these surgeries if medication is not helping. Surgery is considered better if you have chronic adenoid inflammation which might lead to dysfunctional middle-ear causing hearing problems.

The larynx or voice box and esophagus are associated with swallowing and breathing. Any problems related to it are other ENT disorders, which require larynx removal with laryngectomy, and minimally invasive micro-laryngeal surgery. Tracheostomy is done where the surgeon makes a hole in the neck and inserts a wind pipe, connecting it to the trachea. This procedure helps in opening of the airway blocks allowing proper functioning of the lungs.

Ear Care

Ear surgery rectifies hearing problems which includes reconstruction of eardrums, also known as tympanoplasty. This procedure is performed if you experience abnormal mid-ear echoing, mid-ear scarring or hearing loss. Type I tympanoplasty is done for treating the perforation of the eardrum, and Type II is done to treat perforation in the tympanic membrane.

Clinics in India have the latest equipment to perform surgeries such as stapedectomy or the total or partial removal of bones from the middle ear. This procedure is done for restoration of hearing. The doctor implants an external device called a cochlear implant in your ear so that you can hear. If you are plagued by a chronic ear infection then our doctors perform a surgery called Myringotomy. In this, tubes are inserted for draining out fluids from the ear.

Nose Care

ENT specialists’ key skills include the care of nasal cavity and sinus. Sinus surgery, septoplasty or rectifying the deviated septum and relieving of chronic nasal congestion. Indian ENT clinics use advanced endoscopic surgery that reduces the need for extremely invasive surgeries. 

If you have sinus problems, then FESS or Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery can help to restore the proper functioning of the sinuses. The specialist will drill holes in the sinus and remove the lining of the tissue.

Rhinoplasty is a surgery done by ENT specialists to reconstruct or rectify nasal defects. Rhinoplasty is a famous and sought-after cosmetic surgery for the nose, but is a crucial surgery done to correct congenital nasal defects or that are caused by injury.
