Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION FOR TURBINATE HYPERTROPHY
Nasal obstruction due to enlarged turbinates can cause breathing difficulties especially during allergies or chronic inflammation. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) offers a minimally invasive option to reduce turbinate volume while preserving mucosal function.
ALLERGY TESTING AND IMMUNOTHERAPY
Nasal congestion, sneezing, and itching often arise from allergic reactions affecting the upper airway. Allergy testing helps identify specific triggers allowing targeted management through immunotherapy if indicated.
OFFICE-BASED TYMPANOSTOMY TUBE PLACEMENT
Persistent middle ear fluid or recurrent infections sometimes necessitate placement of tympanostomy tubes to ventilate the ear space. Office-based insertion provides a convenient solution without general anesthesia for selected patients.
- Why needed: Children and adults with hearing difficulties caused by otitis media with effusion benefit from tubes that drain fluid effectively.
- Evaluation steps: Otoscopic examination combined with audiometric testing guides appropriate selection for procedure in office settings.
- The process involves: Making a tiny incision in the eardrum under local anesthesia followed by placing a small tube to equalize pressure long-term.
- Avoiding general anesthesia reduces risks, making it suitable especially when done by skilled clinicians using specialized equipment in an outpatient setting.
BALLOON EUSTACHIAN TUBOPLASTY
Eustachian tube dysfunction can cause ear fullness, muffled hearing, or recurrent ear infections. Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty is a modern office-based procedure aimed at improving tube function by dilating it gently.
- Causes/symptoms: Allergies, infections, or anatomical variations may impair the tube's ability to regulate middle ear pressure properly.
- Assessment: Tympanometry and nasopharyngoscopy help confirm diagnosis before treatment planning.
- The procedure: A small balloon catheter is inserted via the nose into the eustachian tube opening and inflated briefly to widen the passageway.
- Tolerability/recovery: Typically performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort; normal activities resume shortly after.
This intervention offers a less invasive alternative compared to traditional surgeries with promising symptom relief outcomes.
MICROLARYNGOSCOPY
The vocal cords are delicate structures essential for voice production. Microlaryngoscopy offers a precise way to examine and treat abnormalities such as nodules or cysts on the vocal folds.
- Symptoms/causes: Hoarseness, voice fatigue, or throat discomfort may indicate vocal cord lesions.
- Diagnosis: Visualization via laryngoscope coupled with stroboscopic imaging allows assessment of vocal fold motion.
- Treatment options: Using microsurgical instruments under magnification, benign lesions can be carefully removed while preserving healthy tissue.
- Post-procedure care: Voice rest is important for optimal healing over days to weeks following surgery.
This approach minimizes trauma and aids in rapid recovery while improving vocal quality for affected individuals.
ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY
Chronic sinusitis and other sinus problems can often require more than medications for relief. Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive technique that helps restore normal drainage and function of the sinuses.
- Symptoms/causes: Persistent nasal congestion, facial pain, and recurrent infections may signal sinus issues needing surgical evaluation.
- Diagnosis: Imaging studies like CT scans combined with nasal endoscopy help visualize affected sinus areas.
- Treatment: The procedure uses an endoscope inserted through the nostrils, avoiding external incisions, to remove obstructions or polyps.
- Recovery: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and return to regular activities quickly after surgery.
- Benefits: Endoscopic approach reduces risks and promotes faster healing compared to traditional open surgery.
This method is considered safe and effective for patients with chronic or recurrent sinus disease unresponsive to medications.
