About ENT in Tirunelveli
ENT (otorhinolaryngology) surgeons treat conditions of the ears, nose, sinuses, throat and neck — including chronic sinusitis, a deviated septum, recurrent tonsillitis, enlarged adenoids, ear-drum perforations and hearing loss. Many ENT procedures are short, planned interventions affecting the ear, nose, sinuses and throat. 7 of the 9 ENT treatments on Go Surgery are usually planned procedures with a same day or next day discharge.
Most sinus and nasal operations are done endoscopically through the nostrils, so there are no external cuts. ENT surgeons also manage snoring and sleep-related breathing problems, voice disorders and some head and neck lumps.
Conditions
These are common reasons patients in Tirunelveli seek a ENT consultation.
Chronic Sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses lasting 12 weeks or more despite treatment.
Deviated Nasal Septum
A deviated septum is when the wall between the nostrils is off-centre, which can block one side of the nose.
Recurrent Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis is infection of the tonsils. When it happens repeatedly it can affect school, work and sleep, and surgery may be advised.
Enlarged Adenoids
Adenoids are tissue at the back of the nose. When enlarged in children they can block breathing and cause ear problems.
Ear Drum Perforation
A perforated ear drum is a hole in the thin membrane between the ear canal and middle ear.
Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are soft, painless, non-cancerous growths in the lining of the nose or sinuses.
Severe Hearing Loss
Severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that isn't helped enough by hearing aids may be treated with a cochlear implant.
Treatments
FESS (Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)
An endoscope is passed through the nostrils to open blocked sinus drainage pathways and remove diseased tissue or polyps. There are no external cuts.
Nasal Polypectomy
Nasal polyps are removed endoscopically through the nostrils, often together with sinus surgery.
Septoplasty
The bent part of the nasal septum is straightened or removed through the nostrils to improve breathing. The outside of the nose doesn't change.
Turbinate Reduction
Enlarged turbinates (structures inside the nose) are shrunk with radiofrequency, coblation or a microdebrider to improve airflow.
Tonsillectomy
The tonsils are removed through the mouth, commonly with cold steel, coblation or laser techniques.
Adenoidectomy
Enlarged adenoids at the back of the nose are removed through the mouth, often in children and sometimes with tonsillectomy or grommets.
Tympanoplasty
A perforated ear drum is repaired with a graft (usually from tissue near the ear) to close the hole and improve hearing and prevent infections.
Mastoidectomy
Infected air cells in the mastoid bone behind the ear are removed to clear chronic infection or cholesteatoma.
Cochlear Implant Surgery
An electronic device is implanted in the inner ear to provide a sense of sound for people with severe to profound hearing loss that hearing aids can't help enough.

FAQs
When is tonsil removal recommended?
Typically for frequent, well-documented tonsillitis over one to several years, a tonsil abscess, or enlarged tonsils causing breathing or sleep problems.
Will sinus surgery change the shape of my nose?
No. Endoscopic sinus surgery and septoplasty work inside the nose and don't change its external appearance.
Can a perforated ear drum heal by itself?
Many small perforations heal within weeks. Those that don't, or that cause recurrent discharge or hearing loss, can be repaired with tympanoplasty.
