1. Ear Surgeries

Ear problems can lead to hearing loss, persistent infections, balance issues, and even developmental delays in children. Our ENT specialists provide surgical solutions for both adults and children.

Types of Ear Surgeries Offered:

Tympanoplasty:

Surgical repair of the eardrum (tympanic membrane).

Performed when there’s a hole in the eardrum due to chronic ear infections or injury.

Prevents hearing loss and recurring infections.

Mastoidectomy:

Removal of infected mastoid bone located behind the ear.

Necessary in severe chronic otitis media (middle ear infection) that spreads to bone.

Ossiculoplasty:

Reconstruction of middle ear bones (ossicles) to restore hearing.

Myringotomy with Grommet Insertion:

Small tube placed in the eardrum to drain fluid and relieve pressure in cases of chronic middle ear effusion, especially in children.

Cochlear Implant Surgery:

For patients with profound hearing loss.

A device is surgically implanted to bypass damaged parts of the inner ear.

Benefits:

Restored or improved hearing ability.

Reduced risk of ear infections.

Enhanced communication and developmental outcomes in children.

2. Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose, combining both aesthetic and functional goals. At Sushruth Hospital, we perform both cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty.

Purposes of Rhinoplasty:

Cosmetic:

Enhance facial symmetry and appearance.

Correct size, bridge, or tip shape.

Fix nasal humps or wide nostrils.

Functional:

Improve breathing by correcting a deviated nasal septum.

Repair deformities caused by injury or congenital defects.

Procedure:

Can be open (external incision) or closed (internal incisions).

Usually performed under general anesthesia.

Requires careful planning, pre-surgical imaging, and follow-up.

Benefits:

Better nasal airflow and breathing.

Enhanced facial appearance and self-confidence.

Long-lasting structural corrections.

3. Tonsillectomy

Tonsillectomy involves the surgical removal of the tonsils, which are lymph nodes located at the back of the throat. It is one of the most common ENT procedures.

Indications:

Recurrent tonsillitis (more than 6–7 infections per year).

Chronic sore throat or bad breath.

Obstructive sleep apnea due to enlarged tonsils.

Difficulty swallowing or breathing, especially in children.

Peritonsillar abscess not responding to other treatments.

Procedure:

Done under general anesthesia.

Takes about 30–45 minutes.

Usually requires a day’s hospitalization and 7–10 days of rest.

Benefits:

Reduced throat infections and use of antibiotics.

Improved sleep and breathing (especially in children).

Better overall throat health and comfort.

4. Thyroidectomy

Thyroidectomy is the partial or complete removal of the thyroid gland. It is recommended when thyroid conditions are causing symptoms or posing health risks.

Conditions Requiring Thyroidectomy:

Thyroid nodules (benign or cancerous).

Multinodular goiter causing neck pressure or breathing/swallowing difficulty.

Graves’ disease or hyperthyroidism not responding to medication.

Thyroid cancer or suspected malignancy.

Types:

Total Thyroidectomy: Removal of the entire gland.

Hemi-Thyroidectomy (Lobectomy): Only one lobe of the thyroid is removed.

Completion Thyroidectomy: Done when part of the thyroid has already been removed.

Procedure & Recovery:

Performed under general anesthesia.

Incision made in the front of the neck.

Hospital stay: Usually 1–2 days.

Patients may need lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy after a total thyroidectomy.

Benefits:

Resolves symptoms caused by an overactive or enlarged thyroid.

Prevents progression or recurrence of thyroid cancer.

Relief from visible neck swelling or compressive symptoms.
