  • Turbinate reduction- both by conventional and coblation assisted technique
  • Diagnostic nasal endoscopy (DNE) and cauterisation for epistaxis
  • Conventional Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)- surgery done to open the blocked sinuses or removal of nasal polyp using endoscope and special instruments

SPECIAL AREAS OF INTEREST

Surgical Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Since 2013 , the department has an active sleep surgery programme, for the management of obstructive sleep apnoea.
State of art sleep laboratory is available in the hospital.
The department provides facilities for sleep endoscopy (DISE) , multilevel sleep surgery and minimally invasive procedures .

Under a specially trained surgical team, latest surgical procedures like tongue base reduction and pharyngoplasty including barbed suturing techniques are carried out on a regular basis with excellent results.With the surgical treatment we have managed to relieve the airway obstruction without the help of machines.
In many patients where the patient is not able to tolerate CPAP therapy or does not get relief by it , multilevel sleep surgery offers good results. The common multilevel surgeries include, Barbed palato-pharyngoplasty, Expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty,Endoscopic coblation assisted midline glossectomy,Endoscopic epiglottoplasty, Thyrohyoidopexy.

AUDIOLOGY
The audiology section is manned by a well qualified , trained audiologist. Apart from routine audiometry tests we have facilities for
  • also known as immitence audiometers evaluates the ear drum and middle ear space as well as muscle reflex of the muscles that control the ear drum and middle ear
  • is a subjective, behavioural measurement of a hearing threshold  of an individual that enables  determination of the degree, type and configuration of a hearing loss and thus providing a basis for diagnosis and management
  • The primary purpose of OAE is to determine cochlear status, specifically hair cell function. This information can be used to (1) screen hearing (particularly in neonates, infants, or individuals with developmental disabilities), (2) partially estimate hearing sensitivity within a limited range, (3) differentiate between the sensory and neural components of sensorineural hearing loss, and (4) test for functional (feigned) hearing loss. The information can be obtained from patients who are sleeping or even comatose because no behavioural response is required.
  • Brainstem-evoked response audiometry (BERA) is a simple, noninvasive, objective test for early identification of hearing impairment in children and neonates. It can be used as a screening test and is useful in newborns, infants, and other difficult-to-test patients.

  • We also have a fully equipped state of art vestibular laborotary for investigation and management of patients with vertigo.(giddiness). Facilities for VEMP,ECoch G and VNG tests are provided here.

    1.VESTIBULAR EVOKED MYOGENIC POTENTIAL(VEMP) is used to assess the function of the utricle and saccule - the otolithic organs of the peripheral vestibular system

    2.ELECTROCOCHLEOGRAPHY(ECochG)
    is an objective assessment used in the diagnosis of Meniere’s disease and other disorders. ECochG test measure electrical potentials generated in the cochlea, a part of the inner ear, in response to audio stimulation

    3.VIDEONYSTAMOGRAPHY(VNG)
    is a series of tests that evaluate the health of your inner ear and your central motor function. VNG testing can possibly uncover the root cause of your vertigo, dizziness or balance issues, and allow your doctor or audiologist to treat it appropriately and effectively.
