Types of ENT Surgeries performed : N O S E

1. Cauterisations for Epitasis

2. Septoplasty:

Septoplasty is a corrective surgical procedure done to straighten the nasal septum - the partition between the two nasal cavities. Ideally, the septum should run down the center of the nose. When it deviates into one of the cavities, it narrows that cavity and impedes airflow. Nasal obstructions caused by serious deviations frequently lead to chronic sinus problems.

3. Septorhinoplasty: A surgical procedure done on the nose and the nasal septum, the wall within the nose separating the left and right sides. Septorhinoplasty is related to rhinoplasty and is performed for patients who also have nasal obstruction. Septorhinoplasty not only improves the appearance of the nose, but it removes any internal obstructions that may be blocking breathing through the nose.

4. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: It is an operation for chronic sinus disease and, is called functional because it aims to return the working of the sinus to normal. The operation is tailored to suit the individual patient. What exactly is done will be decided based on examination of your nose in the clinic and usually also a CT scan of the sinuses.


5. Trans Nasal Neuro Surgeries

7. Optic Nerve Decompression: Surgical optical decompression and optic nerve decompression (OND) are reasonable and reported treatments for traumatic optic neuropathy. New evidence suggests that initial visual acuity (IVA) of no light perception is the most significant determinant of outcome in traumatic optic neuropathy. Patients with IVA of no light perception treated surgically within 7 days of injury had a better improvement degree than patients managed medically. Various surgical approaches for decompression of the optic canal include transfrontal craniotomy, extranasal transethmoidal, transnasal ethmoidal, lateral facial, and endoscopic procedures. An intranasal endoscopic approach is favored because of the proximity of the optic nerve to the sphenoid sinus and Onodi cell. Advantages of this approach include lack of external scars, preservation of olfaction, decreased morbidity, and faster recovery time.
