Micro-ear surgery uses magnification and specialised instruments to treat selected conditions affecting the middle or inner ear. Procedures may address structural abnormalities, chronic ear disease or hearing-related problems. Surgical planning depends on diagnosis, hearing function and nearby anatomical structures.
Lateral skull base surgery addresses selected disorders affecting complex structures near the ear, temporal bone and cranial nerves. Treatment may require close coordination with other surgical specialties. Detailed imaging and evaluation are essential because important nerves and blood vessels are nearby.
Facial nerve surgery may be considered for selected injuries, tumours or conditions affecting the nerve responsible for facial movements. Procedures depend on the cause and location of nerve damage. Assessment includes facial function examination and appropriate imaging.
Cochlear implant surgery involves placing an electronic device that directly stimulates the auditory nerve in appropriately selected patients with severe hearing loss. Evaluation includes hearing tests, imaging and rehabilitation planning. Long-term programming and auditory rehabilitation are important after implantation.
Surgery for vertigo is considered only for selected balance disorders that do not respond adequately to appropriate non-surgical treatment. The procedure depends on the diagnosis and inner ear function. Most causes of vertigo are managed without surgery.
Neurotology focuses on disorders involving hearing, balance and related inner ear or nerve structures. Assessment may include audiometry, vestibular testing and imaging. Treatment depends on the underlying condition and can involve medication, rehabilitation or surgery.
Hearing loss assessment helps determine whether reduced hearing results from outer ear, middle ear, inner ear or nerve abnormalities. Evaluation includes ear examination and hearing tests. Treatment may involve medication, surgery, hearing aids or implantable hearing devices.
Endoscopic anterior skull base surgery uses specialised instruments introduced through the nasal passages to access selected abnormalities near the front of the skull base. Procedures require careful imaging and multidisciplinary planning to protect surrounding neurological and vascular structures.
Temporal bone surgery addresses selected conditions involving the bone surrounding the ear and important hearing, balance and nerve structures. Operations may require detailed anatomical knowledge and microscopic techniques. The approach depends on disease location and extent.
Vestibular disorders affect the body's balance system and can cause vertigo, dizziness or unsteadiness. Evaluation includes symptom history, balance examination and selected tests. Management may involve repositioning manoeuvres, vestibular rehabilitation, medication or other treatment.
