Range of Treatments and Services

Here are just a few of the many ear, nose and throat services we offer at our hospitals:

Sinus Treatment

Conventional Sinus Surgery

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a surgical approach to sinusitis relief. The procedure works by removing bone and tissue to enlarge the sinus opening with the help of specialized instruments, including a nasal endoscope.

Sinus Surgery Navigation System

Surgical navigation software offers ear, nose and throat doctors computer-assisted guidance during sinus surgery. The software system, which tracks and displays the location of surgical instruments with imaging technology, like a CT image, helps physicians more precisely identify areas in the nasal cavity that is causing concern, pain or pressure. Use of this technology in endoscopic sinus surgery and intranasal procedures reduces tissue trauma, swelling and bleeding and patients experience a faster, easier recovery.

Minimally Invasive Sinus Procedures

The balloon sinuplasty procedure is an endoscopic sinus surgery that uses minimally invasive sinus catheters to position a balloon into the blocked sinus passageway. Learn more about this treatment.
