Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
MICROSURGICAL REMOVAL OF ACOUSTIC NEUROMA
An acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor affecting balance and hearing nerves near the brainstem. When surgical removal is necessary due to growth or symptoms, microsurgical techniques are employed for precision excision preserving nerve function where possible.
- The major presenting signs include gradual unilateral hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing), balance difficulties, or facial numbness due to nerve involvement.
LARYNGECTOMY
A laryngectomy involves surgically removing all or part of the larynx (voice box), primarily performed when treating advanced cancers of this region. It significantly alters airway and voice functions but can be life-saving.
- Cancer staging confirmation: Comprehensive imaging studies confirm tumor extent before proceeding with this major operation.
- Surgical approach:The surgeon removes diseased tissue while reconstructing airways using stomas created on the neck surface for breathing after removal of vocal cords.
- Voice rehabilitation: Options including electrolarynx devices or tracheoesophageal puncture assist patients in regaining communication ability post-operation.
- Postoperative care: Intensive wound care, respiratory support, and nutritional management are crucial immediately after surgery.
- Long-term outlook: Regular follow-ups focus on rehabilitation progress as well as monitoring for cancer recurrence.
Despite life changes caused by laryngectomy , advances in surgical techniques & rehabilitative strategies help patients achieve good quality of life .
TYMPANOPLASTY
Tympanoplasty is a surgical technique used to repair a perforated eardrum or middle ear structures. This procedure aims to restore normal ear function and prevent recurrent infections.
- Causative factors: Ear trauma, chronic infections, or previous ear surgery can cause tympanic membrane defects needing repair.
- Diagnostic steps: Otoscopic examination along with audiometry helps determine the extent of damage requiring repair.
- Surgical details: Tissue grafts are used to reconstruct the eardrum; sometimes ossicular chain reconstruction is also performed if needed.
- Recovery expectations: Patients may need several weeks before full healing; precautions include avoiding water entry in the ear canal during this period.
- Efficacy outcomes: Successful tympanoplasty improves hearing levels and reduces risk of infections in most cases.
This surgery offers a durable solution for middle ear problems that impair hearing or cause discomfort due to persistent damage or inflammation.
COCHLEAR IMPLANT SURGERY
This surgical intervention helps patients with severe sensorineural hearing loss regain sound perception by bypassing damaged parts of the ear. A cochlear implant directly stimulates auditory nerves.
- Indications: It’s recommended for those who receive little benefit from conventional hearing aids due to profound hearing impairment.
- Pre-surgical evaluation: Involves audiological testing, imaging, and counseling about realistic outcome expectations.
- Surgical procedure: The implant is placed under the skin behind the ear, and electrodes are threaded into the cochlea.
- Rehabilitation: Post-surgery programming and auditory training are critical for adapting to new sounds.
- Benefits: Many recipients experience improved communication abilities and social interaction after complete rehabilitation.
This advanced option opens new avenues for individuals unable to hear adequately through traditional amplification methods.
ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY
Chronic sinusitis and other sinus issues can often be addressed effectively with minimally invasive techniques. Endoscopic sinus surgery allows for targeted removal of blockages inside the nasal passages without external incisions.
- Symptoms and causes: Persistent nasal congestion, facial pain, recurrent infections, or nasal polyps may indicate the need for this procedure.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis involves nasal endoscopy, CT scans, and evaluation of symptom history to assess sinus obstruction severity.
- Treatment process: The surgery uses an endoscope inserted through the nostrils to clear sinuses and improve drainage.
- Post-operative care: Patients typically experience reduced symptoms with a recovery involving nasal irrigation and follow-up visits.
- Outcomes: Many individuals report significant relief from chronic symptoms following the procedure, improving quality of life.
This approach is highly effective in restoring proper sinus function with minimal downtime when compared to traditional open surgeries.
