ENT Procedures
ENT procedures, also known as Otolaryngology procedures, are medical treatments that focus on issues related to the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck. These procedures are commonly performed to address various conditions such as ear infections, sinus problems, breathing difficulties, and throat disorders. At TX Hospitals, we take pride in offering a comprehensive array of cutting-edge ENT procedures delivered by our team of expert specialists.
One common ENT procedure is the myringotomy, where a small incision is made in the eardrum to drain fluid from the middle ear. This helps alleviate pain and pressure caused by middle ear infections. Another procedure is the tonsillectomy, which involves the surgical removal of the tonsils to treat recurrent throat infections or obstructive sleep apnea.
Septoplasty is a procedure that corrects a deviated septum, improving airflow through the nose and alleviating breathing problems. Endoscopic sinus surgery is performed to treat chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps by removing diseased tissue and opening blocked sinus passages.
Laryngoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the voice box and throat for conditions like voice disorders or swallowing difficulties. Bronchoscopy allows doctors to inspect the airways and lungs using a thin, flexible tube with a camera, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of lung conditions.
