Common Surgeries
- Tonsillectomies and Adenoidectomies are common for people (mostly children) who are having troubles breathing, snoring chronically, having chronic infections of the tonsils or adenoids, or having chronic ear infections due to the adenoids blocking the eustachian tube.
- Pressure equalization tubes (PET) are inserted into the eardrum to prevent or decrease the frequency of chronic ear infections.
- Septoplasties and turbinate reduction alleviate congestion.
- Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) significantly decreases the frequency of the symptoms associated with chronic sinusitis.
- Vocal cord surgery
- Palatoplasties involve cauterizing or removing the soft palate to decrease the vibration, which causes snoring. Patients suffering from sleep apnea are good candidates for this.
- Rhinoplasty, which is reconstructive surgery of the nose, is commonly done for medical or cosmetic purposes.
Otolaryngologists are specialists in diagnosing and treating patients with lumps or bumps in the mouth, throat, neck, scalp, or face. Surgeries may involve the removal of cancers in the head and neck, thyroid nodules, skin lesions, and salivary gland masses.
