Treatment Technologies of the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Department
1. Radiofrequency Treatment for Chronic Rhinitis
High-frequency Radiofrequency (RF) energy is applied to the swollen nasal mucosa, causing tissue shrinkage and improved airway patency. This treatment is suitable for patients with chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, or persistent nasal congestion.
Advantages: Minimal pain, small wounds, rapid recovery, no hospitalization required.
2. Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy
Chronic tonsillitis or enlarged adenoids may cause breathing difficulties, snoring, or recurrent infections. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are recommended for patients with severe or recurrent symptoms that significantly affect quality of life.
3. Thyroid Surgery (Thyroidectomy)
Thyroid nodules or abnormalities may lead to difficulty swallowing, breathing problems, or increased cancer risk. Thyroidectomy, performed by specialist surgeons, uses safe techniques to minimize risks to the vocal cords and parathyroid glands.
4. Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a modern minimally invasive technique using an endoscope to diagnose and treat nasal and sinus disorders without large incisions. It is suitable for chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and deviated nasal septum.
Advantages: Less pain, minimal incisions, faster recovery, enhanced visualization, and high treatment effectiveness.
5. Septoplasty for Deviated Nasal Septum
A deviated nasal septum can cause nasal obstruction, snoring, and recurrent sinus infections. Septoplasty corrects the nasal septum to improve airflow and restore balanced breathing.
6. Myringotomy with Tube Insertion
Indicated for patients with chronic otitis media or middle ear effusion, especially in young children. The procedure involves a small incision in the eardrum with insertion of a ventilation tube to reduce fluid accumulation and prevent recurrent infections, helping restore hearing and reduce the risk of permanent hearing loss.
7. Transtympanic Injection (Intratympanic Injection)
This treatment is used for inner ear disorders such as vertigo, dizziness, or Ménière’s disease. Medication is injected directly into the inner ear through the eardrum to control vertigo symptoms and improve balance, offering effective results while reducing long-term medication use.
