Surgical procedures

Surgical repair of the eardrum and the ossicular chain. Indicated for chronic eardrum perforations and middle ear infections with hearing loss. It improves hearing and prevents recurrent infections.

Surgery for otosclerosis, a condition that causes progressive hearing loss by fixing the stapes in place. The stapes is replaced with a micro-prosthesis, restoring sound transmission and hearing.

A minimally invasive technique for chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps and other sinus conditions. Small-diameter endoscopes reach the sinuses without external incisions, allowing a quick recovery.

Surgical reduction of enlarged nasal turbinates using laser, microdebrider or radiofrequency. It gives lasting relief from chronic nasal obstruction and can be done as an outpatient procedure or under local anaesthesia.

Removal of nasal polyps with a microsurgical debrider or endoscopic laser. It restores nasal breathing and the sense of smell, and is often combined with FESS to prevent recurrence.

Surgical correction of a deviated nasal septum through an endoscopic approach inside the nose. It significantly improves breathing without changing the appearance of the nose, and is performed under general or local anaesthesia.

Precise endoscopic removal of the adenoids. Indicated for enlarged adenoids causing nasal obstruction, snoring, sleep apnoea or recurrent glue ear (otitis media with effusion).

Outpatient laser treatment of enlarged blood vessels on the nasal septum, a common cause of recurrent nosebleeds (epistaxis). A quick, precise procedure with a low risk of complications.

Restores tear drainage in chronic dacryocystitis or blockage of the nasolacrimal duct. Performed endoscopically through the nose, with no external skin incisions.

Removal of the palatine tonsils, indicated for recurrent bacterial tonsillitis (more than 4–5 episodes a year), enlarged tonsils with OSAS, or recurrent peritonsillar abscesses.

Surgical reshaping of the soft palate and uvula to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSAS). It reduces upper airway resistance during sleep.

Examination and treatment of the vocal cords with an operating microscope under suspension laryngoscopy. Indicated for polyps, nodules, cysts and precancerous lesions of the vocal cords; performed under general anaesthesia.

Partial or total removal of the parotid gland. Indicated for pleomorphic adenomas, Warthin’s tumours and other parotid tumours, with careful preservation of the facial nerve.

Removal of the submandibular salivary gland for salivary stones that do not respond to conservative treatment, chronic infection or tumours of the gland.

Surgical repair of the dura mater for cerebrospinal fluid leaks from the nose or complications of endoscopic skull base surgery. Performed with a minimally invasive endoscopic approach through the nose.
