Sial Endoscopy

Sial endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate and treat disorders of the salivary glands. The procedure is performed using a thin, flexible tube (endoscope) equipped with a tiny camera and light. The endoscope is inserted through the mouth and into the salivary ducts. This allows the doctor to visualize the inside of the ducts and glands and to identify any blockages, inflammation, or other abnormalities. Sialendoscopy can be used to treat conditions such as salivary gland stones, strictures (narrowing of the ducts), and inflammation.

Treatment of Obstructive Sialadenitis

There are several ways to treat obstructive sialadenitis, a condition in which the salivary glands become inflamed. One approach is to massage the affected area to help the gland secrete saliva. Another is to use a warm compress to increase blood flow and reduce inflammation. Surgery may also be necessary to remove the obstruction.

Removal of Stones from Salivary Gland [sailadectomy]

The salivary glands are responsible for producing saliva, which helps to lubricate the mouth and aids in digestion. Sometimes, stones can form in the salivary glands, causing pain and swelling. A salivary gland stone can block the flow of saliva and cause an infection. A salivary gland stone is typically removed surgically. The surgery is called salivary gland stone removal or salivary gland surgery.

Surgery for Snoring

Surgery to treat snoring is called uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). The purpose of the surgery is to remove tissue in the back of the throat that is blocking the airway and causing the person to snore. UPPP is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, which means the person having the surgery does not have to stay in the hospital overnight. The surgery takes about 1-2 hours to perform, and the person is usually able to go home the same day. Recovery from the surgery takes about 1-2 weeks. 

Surgical Management for Snoring [Pharyngoplasty]

Pharyngoplasty is a type of surgery that is used to treat snoring. The surgery involves making changes to the structure of the throat in order to widen the airway and reduce the obstruction that is causing the snoring. This can be done by removing the excess tissue that is causing the obstruction or by making changes to the bones in the throat. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about two hours to complete.

Tonsillectomy

A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils. The tonsils are two lymph nodes located at the back of the throat that help to filter out bacteria and other harmful particles from the body. However, sometimes the tonsils can become enlarged and/or infected, and they may need to be removed. The tonsillectomy procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and takes about 30 minutes. Recovery from the surgery generally takes about a week. Book an appointment to have the best treatment. 

Adenoidectomy

An adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the adenoids. The adenoids are a mass of lymphatic tissue located in the back of the nose, above the roof of the mouth. They are part of the immune system and help to filter bacteria and viruses from the air we breathe. However, they can become enlarged and block the airway, making it difficult to breathe. An adenoidectomy is usually performed as day surgery and takes about 30 minutes. Recovery is usually quick, with most people able to return to their normal activities within a few days. 

Tounge - based Lingual Tonsillectomy

A tongue-based lingual tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the lingual tonsils, which are located at the back of the tongue. This procedure is typically performed in children who have recurrent tonsillitis or sleep-disordered breathing. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a small incision in the back of the tongue and remove the tonsils. The incision will then be closed with sutures.

Laryngeal Procedure

A laryngeal procedure is a medical procedure that is performed on the larynx, which is the voice box. The most common reason for this type of procedure is to remove a cancerous tumour from the larynx. Other reasons for a laryngeal procedure include removing polyps, benign tumors, or scar tissue that is causing problems with breathing or swallowing. The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia and takes about two hours.

Micro Laryngeal Surgery

Micro laryngeal surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat disorders of the larynx (voice box). The procedure is performed through a small incision in the neck and requires no general anaesthesia. The surgeon uses a microscope to visualize the larynx and remove any tissue that is blocking the airway or causing other problems. Recovery from micro laryngeal surgery is typically quick, with most patients being able to return to their normal activities within a week.

Management of Medialization Laryngoplasty [formerly thyroplasty] - Type 1 2 3 4

Medialization laryngoplasty, also known as thyroplasty, is a surgical procedure to improve the function of the voice by medializing or moving the vocal cord toward the midline of the larynx. This procedure is used to treat various voice disorders, including paralysis or paresis of the vocal cord, vocal cord atrophy, and vocal cord scarring. There are four types of medialization laryngoplasty, each of which is tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Type 1 is the most common and involves the placement of a silicone implant in the larynx. Type 2 is similar to Type 1, but the implant is made of Gore-Tex. Type 3 involves the placement of a cartilage graft in the larynx, and Type 4 is a combination of Type 1 and Type 3. Visit our ent care hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment

Vocal Cord Paralysis

Vocal cord paralysis is a condition in which the vocal cords are unable to move. This can be caused by a variety of things, including nerve damage, tumors, and stroke. Vocal cord paralysis can lead to a number of problems, including difficulty speaking, a change in voice, and difficulty swallowing. Treatment for vocal cord paralysis depends on the underlying cause but may include speech therapy, surgery, and/or medication.

Tracheostenosis [post trauma or postICUu admissions]

Tracheostenosis is a condition in which the trachea (windpipe) becomes narrow, making it difficult to breathe. This can be caused by trauma, such as a car accident, or by extended stays in the intensive care unit (ICU). Symptoms of tracheostenosis include shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. Treatment typically involves surgery to widen the trachea. In severe cases, a tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the neck that allows direct access to the trachea) may be necessary.
