Procedure Type: Surgical correction of a deviated nasal septum. Why Get This Procedure?: To improve airflow through the nose, reducing breathing difficulties and alleviating chronic sinus infections caused by a deviated septum. Preoperative Preparation: Nasal examination and imaging (CT scans) to assess the extent of the deviation. Discussion about anesthesia and the procedure with the surgeon. Avoid taking medications that may increase bleeding before surgery. What to Expect: General or local anesthesia is administered. The surgeon makes an incision inside the nose and adjusts or removes the cartilage and bone that obstruct airflow. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours. Post-Op Care: Use nasal sprays or saline rinses as prescribed to keep the nasal passages clear. Avoid strenuous activities, including heavy lifting, for a few weeks. Keep the head elevated to reduce swelling. Follow-up: Follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure that the nasal passage is clear. Regular check-ups for 4-6 weeks after surgery to monitor recovery. Possible adjustments to treatment based on symptom improvement. |
Procedure Type: A surgical procedure to create a small opening in the eardrum to drain fluid and insert a small tube. Why Get This Procedure?: This is recommended for patients, often children, who suffer from recurrent ear infections or persistent fluid in the middle ear, which can affect hearing Preoperative Preparation: An ear examination and hearing tests to determine the need for ear tubes. Discussion about anesthesia and the procedure with the surgeon. Fasting for 8 hours before surgery if general anesthesia is used. What to Expect: The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia for children, while local anesthesia may be used for adults. A small incision is made in the eardrum to drain the fluid, and a tiny tube is inserted to keep the middle ear ventilated. The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes. Post-Op Care: Keep water out of the ears while tubes are in place (use earplugs during bathing or swimming). Monitor for drainage from the ears, which is normal for a few days. Pain is minimal, but medications can be provided if needed. Follow-up: Regular follow-up visits to check the tubes and ear health. The tubes will naturally fall out after 6-12 months, or they may be removed by the doctor. Hearing tests to ensure improvement in hearing and middle ear function. |
Procedure Type: Examination of the larynx (voice box) using a flexible or rigid scope to diagnose and sometimes treat conditions affecting the throat.

Procedure Type: Minimally invasive surgery to remove blockages in the sinuses and improve drainage. Why Get This Procedure?: To treat chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, or other sinus conditions that do not respond to medical treatment. Preoperative Preparation: Imaging tests (CT scans) to assess the sinus condition. Stop certain medications that can increase bleeding before surgery. Fasting for 8 hours before the procedure. What to Expect: General or local anesthesia is administered. Using an endoscope, the surgeon removes blockages or polyps from the sinuses without making any external incisions. The surgery typically lasts 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity. Post-Op Care: Saline rinses and nasal sprays to keep the sinuses clean. Avoid blowing the nose or strenuous activities for several weeks. Pain management with prescribed medications. Follow-up: Several follow-up appointments to assess healing and check for any recurrence of blockages. Nasal endoscopy may be performed during visits to ensure sinuses are healing properly. Continued monitoring for symptom relief. |
Procedure Type: A minimally invasive procedure to open blocked sinus passages using a small balloon catheter. Why Get This Procedure?: Ideal for patients with chronic sinusitis who do not respond to medical treatments, as it helps to open the sinus passages and restore normal drainage. Preoperative Preparation: Imaging (such as CT scans) to assess the condition of the sinuses. Avoid certain medications, such as blood thinners, before the procedure. Fasting for several hours before the procedure if general anesthesia is used. What to Expect: The procedure can be done with local or general anesthesia. A small balloon is inserted into the blocked sinus passage and gently inflated to widen the opening. The procedure usually takes less than an hour and is often performed on an outpatient basis. Post-Op Care: Saline nasal sprays and rinses to keep the sinus passages clear. Pain is generally mild, but over-the-counter pain relievers may be used. Avoid strenuous activity for several days. Follow-up: Follow-up visits to check for proper healing and to assess symptom improvement. Continued use of nasal rinses and other treatments to maintain sinus health. Periodic check-ups to monitor for any recurrence of sinus blockages. |
Tympanoplasty (Ear Drum Repair) Procedure Type: Surgical repair of a perforated eardrum caused by CSOM. Why Get This Procedure?: Tympanoplasty is performed to repair the eardrum, prevent further infections, and improve hearing. CSOM often leads to perforation, allowing bacteria to enter the middle ear and cause repeated infections, making repair essential for long-term ear health. Preoperative Preparation: An ear examination and hearing tests to evaluate the perforation and extent of hearing loss. Imaging (CT scans) may be done to assess the condition of the middle ear. Fasting for 8 hours before the procedure if general anesthesia is used. What to Expect: The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. A small incision is made either behind or inside the ear, and a graft is used to patch the perforated eardrum. The surgery usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the perforation. Post-Op Care: The ear will be covered with a protective dressing, and patients should avoid getting water into the ear until fully healed. Pain is usually mild, but medication may be prescribed for discomfort. Patients are advised to avoid activities that can increase pressure in the ears, such as flying or diving. Follow-up: The first follow-up visit is typically scheduled 1-2 weeks after surgery to check the healing of the eardrum. Additional hearing tests will be conducted to evaluate improvement in hearing. Long-term monitoring may be required to ensure the eardrum stays intact and free from further infection. |
