Overview

ENT SURGERY ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgery involves the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of conditions affecting the head and neck area. It encompasses a variety of surgical procedures that are performed to address issues related to the ear, nose, throat, sinuses, and related structures. Common ENT surgeries include tonsillectomy, septoplasty, rhinoplasty, sinus surgery, laryngoscopy, mastoidectomy, and various forms of head and neck cancer surgery. These procedures are typically performed by an otolaryngologist (ENT specialist) who has undergone extensive training in the diagnosis and management of conditions related to the head and neck area. ENT surgery may be performed for a variety of reasons, including to correct structural abnormalities, remove tumors or growths, address chronic infections or inflammation, improve hearing or speech, and alleviate symptoms such as snoring or sleep apnea. With the advances in surgical techniques and technology, many ENT procedures are now minimally invasive and can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing for a faster recovery time and minimal disruption to the patient's daily routine. However, some procedures may still require a hospital stay, particularly those that involve more complex surgeries or a higher risk.

ENT surgery can involve a wide range of procedures, from simple outpatient procedures to more complex surgeries that require a hospital stay. Some common ENT surgeries include: Tonsillectomy: Removal of the tonsils Adenoidectomy: Removal of the adenoids Myringotomy: Incision in the eardrum to drain fluid or relieve pressure Septoplasty: Correction of a deviated septum to improve breathing Sinus surgery: Removal of diseased tissue or blockages in the sinuses Head and neck cancer surgery: Removal of tumors or affected tissue in the head and neck region.
