Involves grafting tissue to close the perforation and, if necessary, reconstructing the ossicles.
Benefits:
Restores hearing, prevents recurrent ear infections, and improves overall ear health.
Adenoidectomy
Adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoids, which are lymphoid tissues located behind the nasal cavity.
Procedure
The adenoids are removed through the mouth under general anesthesia.
Benefits
Improves breathing, reduces snoring and sleep apnea, and prevents recurrent ear and sinus infections.
Sinus Treatment
Sinus treatment involves addressing chronic sinusitis and other sinus-related conditions through medical and surgical interventions.
Procedure
Options include medication, nasal sprays, and surgical procedures like Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).
Benefits:
Alleviates symptoms like nasal congestion, headaches, and facial pain, and improves sinus drainage.
Septoplasty
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum, the partition between the two nasal cavities.
Procedure
The septum is straightened and repositioned to improve airflow.
Benefits
Enhances breathing, reduces nasal congestion, and alleviates snoring and sleep apnea.
Mastoidectomy
Mastoidectomy is the surgical removal of infected mastoid air cells located behind the ear.
Procedure
Involves removing the infected cells and possibly part of the mastoid bone.
Benefits:
Treats chronic ear infections, prevents the spread of infection, and preserves hearing.
FESS Surgery
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat chronic sinusitis.
Procedure
Uses endoscopes to remove blockages and improve sinus drainage.
Benefits
Minimally invasive, quick recovery, and effective relief from chronic sinusitis symptoms.
Thyroidectomy
Thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland.

Improves breathing, reduces sinus infections, and alleviates nasal congestion.
Turbinate Reduction
Turbinate reduction is a procedure to reduce the size of the turbinates, which are structures inside the nose that can cause blockage.
Procedure
Performed using radiofrequency, laser, or surgical instruments
Benefits:
Enhances airflow, reduces nasal obstruction, and alleviates chronic nasal congestion.
