Endoscopic sinus surgery uses a camera and specialised instruments inserted through the nasal passages to treat selected sinus conditions. It may be considered when chronic sinusitis, obstruction or other abnormalities persist despite appropriate medical treatment. The procedure aims to improve drainage and access affected sinus areas.
Endoscopic nasal surgery allows examination and treatment of selected abnormalities within the nasal cavity using minimally invasive instruments. Depending on the diagnosis, it may be used for nasal obstruction, polyps or other structural conditions. Treatment planning follows clinical examination and appropriate imaging.
Chronic sinusitis involves prolonged inflammation of the sinuses, sometimes causing nasal blockage, facial pressure and reduced smell. Treatment may include nasal medications, saline irrigation and management of contributing conditions. Surgery may be considered for selected patients with persistent symptoms.
Nasal polyps are inflammatory growths that can obstruct the nasal passages and affect breathing or smell. Medical treatment is usually considered first. Endoscopic removal may be appropriate when symptoms remain significant, with ongoing treatment sometimes needed to reduce recurrence.
Head and neck tumour surgery may involve removing benign or malignant growths affecting structures such as the throat, neck or adjacent tissues. Treatment depends on the diagnosis, tumour extent and patient health. Malignant conditions often require multidisciplinary planning involving surgical and oncology specialists.
Skull base surgery addresses selected abnormalities near the complex anatomical region separating the brain from facial and neck structures. Depending on the condition, surgery may use endoscopic or open approaches. Careful imaging and multidisciplinary evaluation are essential for treatment planning.
Microscopic ear surgery uses magnification and specialised instruments to treat selected middle-ear and related disorders. Procedures may be considered for chronic ear disease, structural abnormalities or hearing-related conditions. The surgical approach depends on the diagnosis and results of hearing assessments.
Cochlear implantation may help selected patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who obtain insufficient benefit from hearing aids. The implanted device stimulates the auditory nerve electrically. Assessment includes hearing tests, imaging and counselling about rehabilitation and realistic expectations.
Microsurgical throat procedures use magnification and specialised instruments to treat selected abnormalities involving the larynx or nearby structures. Treatment depends on the location and nature of the condition. Assessment may include endoscopic examination, imaging and voice or swallowing evaluation.
Benign head and neck lesions include non-cancerous growths that may affect nearby structures or cause symptoms. Evaluation helps determine whether observation, further testing or surgical removal is appropriate. Treatment decisions consider lesion size, location and functional impact.
Malignant head and neck conditions require careful diagnostic assessment, often including imaging and tissue biopsy. Treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, systemic therapy or a combination of approaches. Management is planned according to tumour characteristics and multidisciplinary recommendations.
Otological surgery focuses on conditions affecting the ear and related hearing structures. Depending on the diagnosis, procedures may address chronic infection, structural disease or selected causes of hearing impairment. Audiological testing and imaging help determine the most suitable management approach.
