Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery

Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the auditory, nasal, and throat systems. Common procedures include tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, sinus surgery, and ear tube placement. These surgeries can help alleviate symptoms, restore function, and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic infections, obstructions, or other disorders.
