About Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists
Definition
Ears, nose, throat (ENT) specialists are concerned with problems that affect the workings of the ears, nose, throat and related structures. ENT doctors are specialists solving problems with breathing, hearing, sense of taste and speech due to illnesses of the ENT area. Children often require ENT consultations and pediatric ENT specialists are available in all locations. Common ENT complaints include tonsillitus and hearing problems. For advice on health problems concerning the ears, nose or throat, ask a question here.
Tonsillectomy
Tonsils are a collection of immune cell tissue in the back of the throat that protect the body from harmful bacteria and germs that are inhaled through the mouth. The tonsils act as a barrier against infection but in many people the tonsils themselves frequently become infected. If the tonsillitis is chronic, meaning it is prolonged or recurrent, doctors frequently recommend removal of the tonsils in a tonsillectomy procedure.
Adenoidectomy
The adenoids are a collection of immune cell tissue at the back of the nasal passage that work with the tonsils to protect you from harmful bacteria and germs that are inhaled. Often performed alongside a tonsillectomy, an adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoids to relieve breathing problems or treat other problems related to swollen, enlarged adenoids.
Sinus surgery
The sinuses are cavities in the bones that are filled with air and drain fluid into the nasal passages.Inside the sinuses are tiny hairs called cilia. these cilia work as a filter and move mucus fluid from the sinuses to the nasal passages. If the sinuses become blocked, fluid cannot drain. If mucus cannot drain from the sinuses this causes pressure and pain.
