Mastoidectomy

The diseased mastoid cells are removed through a surgical procedure called mastoidectomy. The location of the mastoid is right behind the ears and it is also a part of the skull. The mastoid comprises air cells which look similar to a honeycomb. Infection of nastoud cells tends to spread to the skull. At this stage it is necessary to remove it surgically to prevent any further damage.

Myringotomy

Myringotomy

In certain scenarios it is seen that there is some kind of pus formation or some kind of fluid has built up in the middle ear. In these situations a small incision is created within the eardrum to drain out the puss and release the pressure that has developed in the middle ear. This surgical procedure is termed as the Myringotomy

Grommet Insertion

Grommets are inserted within the ear to prevent any kind of middle ear infection and also to cure glue ear or middle ear fluid. Grommet is a ventilation tube which is inserted within the eardrum to let air inside the middle ear in order to prevent fluid build-up inside the middle ear.

Nose Surgeries

Septoplasty 

Septoplasty is used to treat deviated septum surgically. This surgical process is utilised for straightening the cartilage and the bone (septum) that acts as a divider between the two nostrils. This provides a better ventilation of sinuses and resolves prolonged problems like breathing difficulty, snoring and so on.

Fess

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery commonly known as FESS. This procedure is a technique where the sinus air cells and sinus ostia are opened under direct visualization. This process is used to create a ventilation within the sinus and restore its normal. Visualisation is done using an endoscope which is inserted into the nose without making outside skin cuts

Throat Surgeries

Adenoidectomy.

Adenoidectomy is a type of surgery which is used to remove the adenoid gland. The adenoid gland is an lymphatic gland to fight the germs but in many scenarios the glands are inflamed due to allergies and infections leading to a chronic nose block and snoring with mouth breathing.Removal of the adenoids the nasal passage is cleared and breathing difficulties, earaches due to the inflammation and blockade of Eustachuab tube( connection between nose and ear) is also cured.

Tonsillectomy

  Tonsillectomy is a surgery that helps in removing the tonsils which are two oval shaped tissues at the back of the throat. The tonsils are the home for white blood cells who fight the germs but in certain cases they themselves become infected and become inflamed. To avoid further more infections due to the tonsils these are removed surgically.

Facial nerve surgery

Acoustic Neuroma

Acoustic Neuroma or Vestibular Schwannoma is a benign tumor that forms slowly on the vestibular nerve which connects the inner ear to the brain. The branches of these nerves are directly responsible for balancing and hearing, when there is some kind of pressure on this nerve then can be loss of hearing, ringing in the ear and unsteadiness.it can be treated by radiation or surgery if it is causing pressure symptoms

Thyroid


The thyroid gland is present in the neck and this gland is responsible for regulating the metabolism rate in the body. The thyroid diseases occur when the thyroid gland produces too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or produces too less hormone (hypothyroidism). When there is a constant swelling or inflammation in the nodules which is not getting cured by medicines require surgery. This surgery is called thyroidecytomy and in this process the thyroid glands are removed completely or partially. The thyroid glands are also removed when there is presence of cancer in the nodules.

Parathyroid disease

Parathyroid disease is referred to the diseases that occur due to the malfunctioning of the parathyroid glands. These glands are responsible for producing the parathyroid hormone (PTH) which maintains the calcium level in the body. When the calcium release is too high into the blood then the parathyroid glands are removed. This procedure is known as parathyroidectomy.

Parotid

Parotid is the largest salivary gland which produces saliva in the mouth to keep the mouth moist, digest food and also prevents decaying in the teeth. This gland is located right beneath and front of the ear. Surgery is performed to remove these glands when there are growth of tumours found in the glands. These tumours can be benign or malignant. This procedure of surgery is known as parotidectomy.

Submandibular

The Submandibular gland is a saliva gland which is present below the lower jaw. This saliva gland is present to produce saliva in the mouth to keep the mouth moist, digest food and also prevents decaying in the teeth. The Submandibular gland is removed when there is a tumour, infection or the saliva duct is blocked.

Neck Dissection

Neck dissection is a type of surgery that is performed to remove the lymph nodes present in the neck. Those lymph nodes are known as the cervical nodes. This surgery is performed when there is presence of cancer in the cervical lymph nodes. To stop the spread of the cancer further those lymph nodes are removed surgically.

Head and Neck Cancer Surgeries

Carotid Body Tumor


When there is a tumour present in the carotid artery then it is removed surgically. Carotid body is the pressure regulating system in the body. Carotid Body Tumor surgery is performed to remove the tumour from the artery as well the damage in the artery is also repaired. In most of the cases the tumours are usually benign but these tumours become very large in size and they tend to create pressure on the artery structure . This tumor can be treated with surgery or radiotherapy

Skull Base Surgery

Glomus Tumor


The glomus tumours are usually benign tumours which tend to grow in the upper part of jugular vein which are the large blood vessels in the neck. The glomus tumours are mostly benign but when they grow and create a lot of pressure on the surrounding tissues thus a lot of damage is caused on the surronding tissues when they grow. Therefore, these tumours are required to be removed surgically to avoid any kind of severe damage. They can cause destruction of cochlea where nerve of hearing resides resulting in hearing loss, giddiness, headache and voice change in some cases
