Treatments
Use the options below to explore potential treatments for your medical needs.
Types of treatment or procedure:
Adenoidectomy
Adenoids are part of a group of lymphoid tissues (like the glands in your neck or your tonsils) that help to fight of infection from germs that are breathed in or swallowed.
Antral washout
If you have chronic (constant) sinus infections your consultant may recommend antral washout.
Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon sinuplasty is a safe and minimally invasive procedure used by surgeons to treat chronic sinusitis. Doctors thread a guide wire equipped with a tiny balloon into the nostrils and up to the area of blockage.
Deviated septum (Septoplasty)
The wall that separates the two sides of your nostrils is called the nasal septum. Ideally this separation on the right and left are the same.
Endoscopic sinus surgery
The sinuses are air-filled spaces at the front of the skull that are connected to the inside of your nose. Sinusitis is an infection of the mucous membrane that lines the sinuses.
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery widens the passage between the sinus and the nose so that mucus can not get trapped.
Grommet insertion
Glue ear is a common condition where fluid collects in the middle ear behind the eardrum.
Mastoid surgery
Your mastoid bone is located just behind your ear, a damaged mastoid may be repaired surgically.
Middle ear surgery
If you have chronic (persistent) middle ear infections your consultant may recommend surgery.
Palatoplasty
A palatoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct or reconstruct the palate.
Submandibular gland removal
Your submandibular glands are the salivary glands located under your jaw bone. They produce saliva (spit) that drains through an opening under your tongue at the front of your mouth.
Thyroid surgery (thyroidectomy)
The thyroid is a small gland at the front of your neck. Its function is to control the metabolism of the body.
Tonsillectomy
The tonsils are part of a group of lymphoid tissues (glands in your neck) that help to fight off infection from germs that are breathed in or swallowed. Tonsillitis happens if the tonsils become infected.
Turbinectomy
Sometimes the inferior turbinates enlarge resulting in permanent blockage of your nose. If conservative treatments are unsuccessful, your consultant may recommend a turbinectomy.
