Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgery
At Northwest Health, ENT physicians (otolaryngologists) offer a range of surgical treatments to address ear, nose and throat conditions, including minimally invasive endoscopic procedures. ENT physicians have a broad range of experience to provide surgical treatment for everything from nasal congestion and hearing disorders to a deviated septum or broken nose.
Our board-certified ENT doctors provide a variety of treatments, including:
- Balloon catheter dilation surgery - In this procedure, small, flexible devices are inserted into the nostrils to gently open blocked sinus openings to alleviate symptoms of chronic sinusitis. This technique can result in less bleeding and a quicker recovery and often does not limit further treatment options.
- Hearing loss solutions, including cochlear implants, bone conduction devices and ear-tube surgery
- Laryngeal and voice solutions
- Plastic and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck
- Sinus surgery, including endoscopic techniques and radiofrequency ablation
- Septoplasty – a surgical procedure that corrects a deviated septum (a displacement of the bone and cartilage that divides the two nostrils)
- Treatments to correct chronic snoring, sleep apnea and other related disorders
- Turbinate surgery or inferior turbinate reduction - a procedure where the inferior nasal turbinates are examined and reduced in size to provide improved nasal airflow.
