Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT)
ENT treatments encompass a broad range of medical procedures aimed at addressing conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat. These treatments are crucial for resolving issues that can impact hearing, breathing, swallowing, and speaking. Depending on the severity and nature of the condition, treatments can range from medication and minimally invasive procedures to complex surgeries.
Common ENT Treatments:
- Tympanoplasty: Surgical repair of the eardrum to address perforations and improve hearing.
- Sinus Surgery: Procedures like endoscopic sinus surgery to relieve sinusitis symptoms by removing blockages and improving sinus drainage.
- Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy: Removal of tonsils and/or adenoids to treat recurrent infections or breathing problems during sleep.
- Septoplasty: Correction of a deviated septum to improve airflow and reduce nasal congestion and sinus infections.
- Hearing Aids and Implants: Devices to improve hearing in patients with hearing loss that cannot be corrected surgically.
- Laryngoscopy: A procedure using a scope to view the throat and voice box for diagnosis and treatment of voice disorders.
- Thyroidectomy: Surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland, typically to treat thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism, or large goiters.
