The ENT (ear nose and throat) system is extremely complex anatomically and functionally, so there is a certain risk for the pathological processes development in it. The main goal of our ENT surgeons is to provide patients with non-surgical treatment as much as possible, but in many cases surgery is necessary.
Surgery for life quality improvement
Some ENT surgeries are performed to improve the quality of life of patients.
In these cases, the operation is not an attempt to save the patient’s life, since his ENT problem does not threaten his life.
A good example of such an operation is, for example, installing the ear buttons. This operation is mainly performed in children with chronic ear infections or in adults suffering from other diseases due to fluid buildup in the middle ear.
Mandatory surgeries
On the other hand, head and neck organ operations, in many cases, help to save a person’s life. For example, surgery to remove the tumor. There is a wide range of tumors that can develop in the nose, ear or throat, such as malignant tumors of the vocal cords, tumors of the hearing nerve and others.
Benign tumor resection
There are certain types of benign tumors that are very likely to become malignant. Therefore, by resection of benign tumors, their malignant degeneration can be prevented.
Aesthetic surgery
In many cases, operations are performed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the patient.
Larynx surgery
Laryngeal surgery is performed only in cases where the expected benefit of the operation exceeds the damage caused by it. In addition, the choice of throat surgery is performed only in cases where conservative treatment does not give the desired results or when it is impossible.
As a rule, ENT surgery is a simple and targeted operation, so the recovery time is very short (from one day to two weeks).
Endoscopic operations performed by our specialists at the Assuta hospital are used to treat the following diseases:
♦ Chronic inflammation of the sinuses
♦ Polyposis of the nasal sinuses
♦ Benign tumors of the nose and face cavities
♦ Repeated bleeding
♦ Lacrimal ducts blockage
and others.
