At Manipal Hospital we have the best ENT specialist in Whitefield, Bangalore who provide special services in the field of ENT & Head & Neck Surgery. They include:
Advanced Minimally Invasive Sinus Surgeries: We use image-guided navigation to perform minimally invasive sinus surgeries. These types of surgeries help the patient recover very fast and patients are sent home within a few hours of the surgery. The minimally invasive nature of the procedures also allows patients to go back to work or school almost from day three or four of the surgery.
Balloon Sinuplasty: It is a non-surgical procedure of treating sinusitis; it is similar to doing angioplasty of the heart. This is an ultra-advanced type of modern minimally invasive technique that helps patients recover very fast.
Coblation Surgeries: We are also equipped to perform the latest Earthcare collator to perform painless tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies in children. It can also be used with lasers to perform minimally invasive sleep and snoring surgeries.
Audiogram: An audiogram is a graph that shows the audible threshold for standardized frequencies measured by an audiometer. The hearing thresholds of humans and other mammals can be found by using behavioural hearing tests or physiological tests. An audiogram is obtained using a behavioural hearing test called Audiometry. For humans, the test is done using different tones being presented at a specific frequency (pitch) and intensity (loudness).
Tympanoplasty: A surgery performed for the reconstruction of the eardrum and/or the small bones of the middle ear.
Myringoplasty: This surgery is performed to repair the hole in the eardrum by placing a graft made of either a small piece of tissue from the body or gel-like material. The operation is performed with the patient supine and face turned to one side.
Vertigo: Vertigo is a sensation that gives the patient a feeling off-balance. Characterized by dizzy spells, patients also feel spinning or that the world is spinning. Vertigo is usually caused by an inner ear problem. Vertigo is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It occurs due to the asymmetry in the vestibular system due to damage to or dysfunction of the labyrinth, vestibular nerve, or central vestibular structures in the brainstem.
Skull base surgeries: There are mainly two types of skull base surgery: Endoscopic or minimally-invasive skull base surgery and Traditional surgery (open skull base surgery). Endoscopic surgery usually does not require a large incision. A specialized surgeon may make a small opening inside the nose to remove a growth through a thin lighted tube called an endoscope.
Traditional surgery may require incisions in the facial area and the skull. The surgeon may remove the parts of the bone so that the growth can be reached and removed.
Dyspnea: It is characterized by shortness of breath, sometimes described as “air hunger.” The range of the shortness of breath can be from mild and temporary to serious and long-lasting.
Grommet insertion: Grommets are tiny tubes that can be inserted into the eardrums to treat conditions that affect the middle ear, such as recurrent middle ear infections and glue ear.
Mastoidectomy: It is a surgical procedure that removes diseased mastoid air cells which are formed due to an ear infection that has spread into your skull. The mastoid is the part of your skull located behind the ear. It's filled with air cells made of bone and looks like a honeycomb.
Foreign bodies removal: Foreign bodies refer to any object that is placed in the ear, nose, or mouth that is not meant to be there and could cause harm without immediate medical attention.
Myringotomy: A surgical procedure in which a very small incision is made in the eardrum to relieve pressure caused by excessive buildup of fluid, or to drain pus from the middle ear.
Facial nerve decompression: A type of nerve decompression surgery where abnormal compression on the facial nerve is relieved.
Ear lobe repair: Simple, quick & effective ear repair cosmetic surgery for earlobes stretched by piercing or split earlobe repair for earring tears.
Infection turbinate reduction: A surgical procedure to reduce the size of one or more of the small curved bones in the nose, known as turbinates, in order to open clogged nasal passages and improve breathing.
