Septoplasty
- The Nasal Septum is the thin wall which seperates the two nasal cavities.
- In some people, as the grow-up the nasal septum deviates to either or both sides. This deviation can be a developmental defect or can happen due to trauma
- This Septal deviation can cause a blocked nose, anosmia, repeated cold, mouth breathing, snoring and headaches.
- Septoplasty is an Endoscopic procedure which corrects this deviation without any external scarring.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
- A lot of people are known to complain of sinus trouble. This sinus trouble could be due to a range of diseases like Chronic Sinusitis, Allergic Fungal Sinusitis,
Sinonasal Polyps, Tumors etc and can present as headache or heaviness, nasal blockage, recurrent or long-standing nasal discharge,
nasal bleed, altered smell or loss of smell.
- FESS is a procedure done endoscopically to clear the involved disease and restore drainage of the paranasal sinuses thus re-establishing the nasal functions of breathing, air-filtration and smell.
Endoscopic Orbital Decompression
- Proptosis is an abnormal protrusion of eyeball which is commonly seen in Graves’ disease, orbital abscess and orbital haemorrhage.
- Orbital decompression is the surgery which an ENT surgeon performs endoscopically by removing a part of the wall(s) of the orbit followed by either removing fat or draining pus or blood collected behind the eye ball.
Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy
- The tears from the eyes drain from the corner of the eye into the nose through a lacrimal system.
- Any blockage in this drainage system can lead to excessive watering and infections of the lacrimal sac (Part of the tears drainage system).
- Endonasal DCR is an endoscopic surgery which bypasses the blockage and re-establishes drainage of the tears without any external incisions or scars.
