The Department of ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat), also known as Otolaryngology or Head and Neck Surgery, is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the ears, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck.
The Department of ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat), also known as Otolaryngology or Head and Neck Surgery, is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the ears, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck. ENT specialists provide both medical and surgical treatments for conditions ranging from infections to tumors.
A quick (1–5 minute), typically painless, in-office procedure where an ENT specialist uses a thin, flexible, or rigid tube with a light and camera (endoscope) to examine the nasal and sinus passages
A minimally invasive medical procedure using rigid telescopes (Hopkins rod) or distal chip cameras to examine, diagnose, and treat ear diseases.
Involves using tools like forceps, suction, or hooks (ideally with magnification) to remove objects or impacted cerumen
Involves direct visualization and careful extraction with appropriate instruments
Involves extracting objects (toys, food, beads) from the nose, commonly using suction, specialized forceps, or balloon catheters by medical professionals
Involves medical intervention to extract lodged items, such as food, toys, or bones, from the airway or esophagus
Often, last-resort procedure used to control persistent anterior epistaxis (nosebleeds from Kiesselbach's plexus) when direct pressure or cautery fails
Emergency procedure to control severe, deep posterior epistaxis (nosebleeds) when anterior packing or other methods fail, typically using balloon catheters or specialized devices (like foley catheters or commercial balloons) placed in the nasopharynx
Sterile, protective material—such as gauze or a pad—applied directly to a wound to promote healing, absorb fluids, and prevent infection
Minor, often outpatient, surgical procedure used to treat localized infections, such as abscesses, boils, or cysts, by releasing built-up pus

Naso-Pharyngo-Laryngoscopy (NPL) is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure using a thin, flexible, lighted camera to visualize the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and larynx/vocal cords
Routine procedure, usually done 10–14 days post-surgery, involving cleansing the wound, lifting each knot with forceps, and cutting the suture close to the skin on one side of the knot before pulling it out
Minimally invasive, low-risk diagnostic procedure used to collect cells, fluids, or tissue samples from lumps or abnormalities, commonly in the thyroid, breast, or lymph nodes
A Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) is a 10–15 minute, low-risk, in-office procedure where an ENT or Speech-Language Pathologist passes a flexible camera through the nose to directly view the throat during swallowing
Common, 20- to 30-minute outpatient surgical procedure to remove enlarged or infected adenoid glands, located behind the nose
Common surgical procedure that removes the tonsils at the back of the throat, usually performed under general anesthesia to treat chronic tonsillitis, persistent infections, or breathing/sleep issues (like sleep apnea) caused by enlarged tonsils
Common, 45-60 minute surgical procedure under general anaesthesia to remove both the tonsils and adenoids, primarily performed in children to treat obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), sleep-disordered breathing, and recurrent infections
Common, often outpatient, surgical procedure used to straighten a deviated septum—the bone and cartilage dividing the nostrils
Surgical procedure that creates an opening (stoma) in the neck and trachea (windpipe) to allow direct access to the airway, enabling breathing when the upper airway is obstructed or when long-term ventilator support is needed
Surgical procedure to repair a perforated (holed) eardrum by grafting tissue to close the defect
