Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

BALLOON EUSTACHIAN TUBOPLASTY

Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty

This innovative procedure addresses Eustachian tube dysfunction by using a balloon catheter inserted into the canal that connects the middle ear with the back of the nose. Controlled inflation helps dilate the tube improving ventilation and drainage of middle ear pressure abnormalities.

  • Main symptoms include: Ear fullness, popping sensations, muffled hearing due to pressure imbalance within the middle ear space.
  • The diagnosis often relies on clinical history combined with tympanometry measurements assessing Eustachian tube function.
  • Surgical intervention entails: Balloon catheter insertion under local anesthesia safely expanding narrowed sections of Eustachian tube lining.
  • The postprocedure care involves: Monitoring symptoms over weeks while avoiding activities that provoke barotrauma; most patients resume normal activities quickly.
  • This technique offers benefits such as: Minimally invasive approach reducing risks associated with traditional open surgeries aimed at relieving tubal dysfunction symptoms long term. ew line

Balloon Eustachian tuboplasty represents a promising advancement in managing chronic Eustachian tube problems effectively with rapid recovery profiles.

TYMPANOPLASTY

Tympanoplasty

Tympanoplasty is a reconstructive surgery performed to repair perforations in the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and restore middle ear function. It aims at preventing infections and improving hearing capacity disrupted by eardrum damage.

  • The condition arises from: Chronic otitis media (middle ear infections), trauma, or prior surgeries resulting in eardrum perforation。
  • The diagnostic process consists of: Otoscopic examination confirming eardrum perforation plus audiometry assessing conductive hearing loss severity.
  • The surgical method involves: Grafting healthy tissue such as temporalis fascia over the perforation site under general anesthesia.
  • The postoperative management includes: Keeping ears dry, avoiding nose blowing initially; follow-up evaluations check graft integration.
  • The expected benefits encompass: Reduction in recurrent infections alongside measurable improvements in hearing sensitivity.

Tympanoplasty remains vital for patients needing structural repair of their tympanic membrane combined with functional restoration of auditory mechanics.

LARYNGEAL MICROSURGERY

Laryngeal Microsurgery

Laryngeal microsurgery is performed using specialized microscopes and delicate instruments aimed at treating voice box disorders. It targets lesions on vocal cords that affect voice quality or cause discomfort during speaking or breathing.

  • Clinical signs: Hoarseness, vocal fatigue, throat pain, or airway obstruction may warrant evaluation for surgical correction.
  • Diagnostics include: Laryngoscopy with stroboscopy provides detailed visualization of vocal fold function before treatment planning.
  • Surgical goals: Removal of nodules, polyps, cysts or papillomas while preserving normal vocal fold tissue structure as much as possible.
  • Treatment outcome expectations: Voice therapy often accompanies recovery; most patients regain improved vocal function post-procedure.

This microscopic technique minimizes tissue trauma ensuring precise treatment tailored to each patient’s unique condition affecting their voice mechanism.

COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION

Cochlear Implantation

Cochlear implantation is a surgical intervention for individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who gain little benefit from conventional hearing aids. The implant bypasses damaged inner ear structures to directly stimulate auditory nerves.

  • Symptoms/causes: Severe hearing impairment from congenital factors, infections, or trauma can necessitate this advanced solution.
  • Diagnostic process: Comprehensive audiology tests alongside imaging like MRI evaluate candidacy for implantation.
  • Surgical treatment involves: Inserting an electrode array into the cochlea and placing an external speech processor behind the ear.
  • Recovery expectations: Initial activation occurs weeks after surgery followed by auditory rehabilitation to maximize hearing potential.

Cochlear implants provide many patients a new opportunity for improved communication and quality of life when other options are insufficient.

ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive technique designed to improve sinus drainage and ventilation. Using a thin endoscope inserted through the nasal passages, surgeons can treat chronic sinusitis and other sinus disorders effectively.

  • Symptoms/causes: Patients typically present with facial pain, nasal congestion, recurrent infections, or reduced sense of smell due to inflamed or blocked sinuses.
  • Diagnosis: Nasal endoscopy and CT imaging of the sinuses confirm diagnosis and aid surgical planning.
  • Treatment: The surgeon removes obstructions like polyps or thickened mucosa, widening natural sinus openings without external incisions.
  • Aftercare: Saline irrigations and follow-up endoscopies help ensure healing; antibiotics may be prescribed if infection was present.

This approach reduces recovery time compared to traditional surgery while improving long-term sinus health and symptom relief.

MICROSCOPIC EAR SURGERY

Microscopic Ear Surgery

Microscopic ear surgery is a highly precise procedure used to treat various middle and inner ear conditions. It employs advanced microscopes to allow surgeons to operate on delicate ear structures with enhanced visualization.

  • Symptoms/causes: Persistent hearing loss, chronic ear infections, or damage from trauma often indicate the need for this surgery.
  • Diagnosis: Detailed audiometric tests and imaging studies like CT scans help determine the extent of damage and plan the surgical approach.
  • Treatment options: The procedure may involve repairing the eardrum, removing cholesteatomas, or reconstructing ossicles (tiny bones) within the middle ear.
  • Management: Post-operative care includes avoiding water exposure, managing pain, and following up to monitor healing and hearing improvement.

This surgery offers the chance to restore hearing function or prevent further damage by addressing underlying ear pathologies with precision.
