Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

LASER TREATMENT FOR VOCAL CORD LEUKOPLAKIA

Laser Treatment for Vocal Cord Leukoplakia

This specialized laser therapy targets leukoplakia on vocal cords—white patches that could potentially progress toward malignancy—providing early intervention without extensive tissue removal. Preservation of voice quality remains paramount during treatment planning.

  • Clinical presentation:Patients usually report persistent hoarseness or sensation of lump in throat arising from keratotic mucosal changes induced by smoking, irritation or reflux
  • Diagnostic process:Laryngovideostroboscopy combined with biopsy ensures accurate diagnosis confirming benign but potentially premalignant nature
  • Treatment technique:Precision laser ablation removes affected areas selectively while sparing adjacent normal tissue
  • Expected results & follow up:Voice rehabilitation often recommended post-procedure; regular surveillance crucial due to risk of recurrence or progression

This modality allows effective management balancing safety with restoration of vocal function critical for professional voice users.

SEPTOPLASTY

Septoplasty

The septoplasty operation corrects deviation of the nasal septum that causes difficulty breathing through one or both sides of the nose. This surgery aims to improve nasal airflow and alleviate related complications such as recurrent sinus infections or snoring problems.

  • Main symptoms/etiology:Nasal obstruction often accompanied by congestion, frequent nosebleeds or headaches resulting from trauma, congenital deformity or developmental factors causing septal deviation.
  • Kinds of diagnostic procedures used:Nasal endoscopy paired with imaging studies confirm anatomical defects contributing to breathing problems

TYMPANOPLASTY

Tympanoplasty

Tympanoplasty is a surgical method used to repair a perforation in the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and restore middle ear function. This procedure helps reduce recurrent ear infections and improves hearing loss caused by eardrum damage.

  • Description of symptoms/causes: Chronic ear discharge, hearing impairment typically due to trauma or chronic otitis media leading to membrane perforations.
  • Diagnostic evaluation: Otoscopic examination combined with audiometry confirms extent of perforation and hearing status prior to surgery.
  • Surgical technique: Grafting material is used to close the membrane defect through either an underlay or overlay technique depending on perforation size/location.
  • Anesthetic considerations & outcome expectations: Generally done under general anesthesia with good prospects for restored eardrum integrity and improved auditory thresholds within weeks post-op.

A successful tympanoplasty can markedly enhance ear health while preventing future infections that threaten hearing acuity long-term.

COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION

Cochlear Implantation

Cochlear implantation is a surgical treatment for individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who do not benefit sufficiently from hearing aids. It restores sound perception by directly stimulating the auditory nerve.

  • Causes/symptoms: Significant hearing loss impacting communication ability despite conventional amplification devices.
  • Assessment process: Comprehensive audiological evaluations, imaging studies, and candidacy assessments determine suitability for implantation.
  • Surgical details: The implant consists of internal electrodes placed inside the cochlea under general anesthesia with careful preservation of surrounding structures.
  • Post-surgery rehabilitation: Activation of the device followed by extensive auditory training enhances speech understanding over several months.

Cochlear implants provide many patients auditory access previously unavailable, improving their quality of life extensively through tailored rehabilitation programs.

ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery is designed to relieve chronic sinusitis symptoms by clearing blocked sinuses using a minimally invasive technique. It improves nasal airflow and drainage.

  • Symptoms/causes: Chronic nasal congestion, facial pain, headaches, and recurrent infections caused by inflamed sinus mucosa or anatomical obstructions.
  • Diagnostic methods: CT scans of the sinuses combined with nasal endoscopy assist in precise evaluation before surgery.
  • Surgical approach: Small endoscopes inserted through the nostrils enable surgeons to remove polyps or open obstructed sinuses without external incisions.
  • Recovery expectations: Most patients experience symptom relief within weeks; nasal irrigation and follow-up visits are essential for successful outcomes.

This approach minimizes recovery time while maximizing improvement in sinus function for patients suffering from persistent sinus disease.

MICROLARYNGEAL SURGERY

Microlaryngeal Surgery

Microlaryngeal surgery is a precise and minimally invasive procedure aimed at treating benign lesions or abnormalities of the vocal cords. These issues can significantly impact voice quality and breathing.

  • Symptoms and causes: Patients may experience hoarseness, throat discomfort, or difficulty speaking due to nodules, polyps, cysts, or papillomas.
  • Diagnosis: A thorough laryngoscopic examination along with stroboscopy helps visualize vocal cord lesions accurately.
  • Treatment options: The procedure uses microsurgical instruments and an operating microscope to remove the lesion while preserving healthy tissue.
  • Postoperative care: Voice rest and speech therapy are often recommended to ensure optimal healing and functional recovery.

This surgery offers a high success rate in restoring normal voice function with minimal complications when performed by skilled specialists.
