Common Procedures Performed By ENT Surgeons
The term ‘ENT surgeon’ stands for ‘ear, nose and throat surgeon’. As the name suggests, ENT surgeons primarily perform surgeries of the ears, the nose, and the throat, though they may also perform some types of head and neck surgery.
Modern ENT clinics are usually led by a team of highly qualified ENT doctors and ENT surgeons, who are supported by nurses, anaesthetists and other medical assistants. ENT specialists who wish to perform surgery need to complete specialist surgical training to qualify as ENT surgeons.
Below are some of the common problems for which ENT surgery may be suggested:
• The ears: Hearing loss, ear infections, balance disorders and tinnitus (noises in the ears) are some ear condition for which an ENT specialist may advise ear surgery.
• The nose: A common type of nose surgery performed by ENT Surgeons is adenoidectomy, during which the adenoids are removed. In some cases, nose surgery might also be advised to treat sinus infections, seasonal allergies, and nose tumours. In cases of deformities or accidental injuries, reconstructive nose surgery may be suggested.
• The throat: One of the most common throat surgeries performed by an ENT surgeon is a tonsillectomy, during which a patient’s tonsils are removed. Throat surgery may also be recommended to treat laryngitis, snoring and voice disorders, as well as to remove tumours present in the throat and larynx.
• The head and neck: Surgery in the head and neck area might be advised to treat thyroid disorders, or remove swellings and cysts. In some cases, it may also be used to remove cancerous or non-cancerous tumours, of the lymph and salivary glands.
• Cosmetic surgeries: Appropriately trained ENT surgeons can also perform facial cosmetic surgery procedures such as rhinoplasty, otoplasty, eyelid, lip and eyebrow surgery.
