OUR PROCEDURES

Adenoidectomy & Tonsillectomy

Adenoidectomy and Tonsillectomy are procedures used to remove the adenoids from the back of the nasal cavity and/or remove the tonsils from the back of the mouth. These procedures are often performed together to relieve obstructed breathing, treat sleep apnea or due to inflammation/infection.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery involves the use of an endoscope to remove blockages or growths (such as polyps) from the sinuses.

Excision of Tonsil Tags

This procedure involves the removal of tonsil tags, which are remnants of the tonsil that were not completely removed during a previous tonsillectomy. It is also possible for tonsil tags to regenerate or re-grow from the tissue that was left behind. When infection or inflammation occurs, the tonsil tags may need to be surgically removed.

Laryngoscopy

Laryngoscopy is a diagnostic procedure utilized by a physician to inspect the nose, throat and larynx (voice box) for medical problems. It’s commonly used to discover the cause of persistent cough, bleeding, throat pain, hoarseness or a blockage in the throat.

Palatopharyngoplasty

Palatopharyngoplasty is a surgical procedure involving the removal of unnecessary soft tissue from the roof of the mouth. This procedure is used to cure excess snoring and/or in the treatment of sleep apnea.

Tympanostomy (Ear Tubes)

A tympanostomy involves the insertion of small tubes into the eardrum in order to allow fluid to drain from the middle ear – as well as to allow air to circulate through the middle ear.
