ENT CARE
ENT care focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions related to the ear, nose, and throat, as well as related structures of the head and neck. It addresses issues like hearing loss, sinusitis, tonsillitis, voice disorders, and balance problems. ENT specialists, also known as otolaryngologists, provide both medical and surgical care to improve patients’ overall health, ensuring proper functioning of these essential sensory and communication systems.
Sinus Treatment
Our minimally invasive vision correction procedures are designed for precision and comfort:
Duration: Each eye procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes.
Technique: Advanced technologies like LASIK, ICL (Implantable Contact Lenses), and cataract surgeries ensure optimal outcomes.
Anesthesia: Performed under local anesthesia for a virtually painless experience.
Process: Depending on the procedure, we reshape the cornea, implant lenses, or replace cloudy lenses to restore clarity.
- Most patients experience noticeable vision improvements within 24 hours.
- Recovery time is minimal, allowing you to resume daily activities quickly.
- Follow-up consultations ensure your healing process is smooth and effective.
- Success rates exceed 95%, with many achieving 20/20 vision or better.
- State-of-the-art techniques provide high precision and long-lasting results.
- Patients often experience a reduced or complete elimination of dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
We perform comprehensive evaluations to determine your suitability:
Candidates must be over 18 years of age with stable vision for at least a year.
Factors such as corneal thickness, eye health, and pre-existing conditions are assessed.
Options are available for individuals who may not qualify for LASIK, such as those with thin corneas or severe refractive errors.
- Convenience: Enjoy the freedom of clear vision without corrective lenses.
- Advanced Technology: Our modern methods ensure precision, safety, and comfort.
- Custom Solutions: Personalized treatments cater to your unique vision needs.
- Natural Vision: Techniques like ICL preserve the eye’s natural anatomy.
While our procedures are safe, it’s essential to be aware of potential risks:
Temporary Symptoms: Mild glare, halos, or dry eyes may occur but usually subside quickly.
Rare Complications: Risks such as infection, over/under-correction, or elevated eye pressure are uncommon and manageable with proper care.
Long-Term Safety: Regular follow-ups ensure optimal results and monitor any changes in vision.
Septoplasty
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated septum, the cartilage and bone that divide the nostrils. A deviated septum can lead to breathing difficulties, frequent sinus infections, and other nasal issues.
- Duration: The surgery typically takes 30-90 minutes, depending on the complexity.
- Anesthesia: Performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation.
- Technique: The surgeon makes an incision inside the nose to access the septum, removes or reshapes the deviated portions, and repositions the remaining structure for improved alignment.
- Minimally Invasive: No external incisions are made, leaving no visible scars.
- Initial Healing: Most patients can return home the same day.
- Full Recovery: Healing is gradual and may take a few weeks.
- Post-Surgery Symptoms: Swelling, mild pain, and nasal congestion are common and resolve as the nose heals.
- Care Instructions: Avoid strenuous activities and follow prescribed nasal care routines to aid recovery.
- Significantly improves airflow and breathing.
- Reduces symptoms such as nasal congestion and frequent infections.
- Enhances overall quality of life, especially for those with chronic nasal obstruction.
- Candidates include individuals with:
- Difficulty breathing through the nose.
- Chronic sinusitis caused by septal deviation.
- Sleep disruptions due to nasal blockages.
- Frequent nosebleeds or asal discomfort.
- A comprehensive evaluation ensures suitability for surgery.
- Restores normal breathing and nasal function.
- Improves sleep quality and reduces snoring.
- Alleviates nasal discomfort and recurring sinus infections.
- Boosts overall health by enhancing oxygen intake.
- Common Side Effects: Temporary swelling, bruising, or mild nasal bleeding.
- Rare Complications: Infection, changes in nasal shape, or persistent nasal obstruction.
- Long-Term Safety: Most risks can be minimized by choosing an experienced surgeon and following post-operative care instructions.
Tonsillectomy
Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure in which the tonsils are removed. The tonsils are two oval-shaped lymph nodes located at the back of the throat that help fight infections. However, in some cases, they can become recurrently infected, enlarged, or cause other issues, necessitating their removal.
- Duration: Tonsillectomy typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour.
- Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, meaning the patient is asleep and pain-free during the procedure.
- Technique: The surgeon removes the tonsils through the mouth, without making any external incisions. In some cases, laser or cautery may be used to minimize bleeding.
- Minimally Invasive: No cuts are made outside the mouth, ensuring minimal visible scarring.
- Initial Healing: Patients are usually monitored for a few hours post-surgery before being sent home.
- Recovery Time: The initial recovery period typically lasts 7-10 days, during which pain, especially during swallowing, is common.
- Follow-Up Care: Aftercare includes pain management and avoiding hard or spicy foods. Full recovery may take up to two weeks.
- Symptoms: Mild fever, sore throat, and ear pain are typical post-surgery symptoms but should subside within a week.
- Tonsillectomy effectively reduces the frequency of tonsil infections, such as tonsillitis, and alleviates related symptoms like sore throat and difficulty swallowing.
- The surgery improves overall quality of life, especially in individuals who suffer from chronic or recurrent tonsillitis.
- Reduced Infections: Decreases the frequency of tonsil infections.
- Improved Breathing: Helps resolve airway blockages caused by enlarged tonsils.
- Better Sleep: Improves sleep quality by resolving issues like sleep apnea or snoring.
- Fewer Sore Throats: Prevents recurrent sore throats and related discomfort.
- Common Side Effects:
- Sore throat and ear pain during recovery.
- Mild fever and discomfort.
- Swelling around the throat area.
- Rare Risks:
- Infection at the surgical site.
- Bleeding after surgery, which is typically manageable but may require attention.
- Dehydration from difficulty swallowing fluids.
- Post-Operative Care: Following the surgeon's instructions carefully can minimize these risks and support a smooth recovery.
Ear Drum Perforation Solutions
Eardrum perforation, also known as a ruptured eardrum, is a tear or hole in the thin tissue (tympanic membrane) that separates the ear canal from the middle ear. This condition can result in hearing loss, pain, and increased susceptibility to ear infections.
