Nose and throat surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures that address conditions affecting the nasal passages, sinuses, and throat (pharynx and larynx). These procedures are typically performed by otolaryngologists, also known as ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists.

Here are some common types of nose and throat surgeries:

• Rhinoplasty: A cosmetic or reconstructive surgery to reshape the nose, correct deformities, or improve nasal function.
• Septoplasty: A surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum, which can improve breathing and reduce nasal obstruction.
• Sinus Surgery: Procedures such as endoscopic sinus surgery aim to open blocked sinuses, remove polyps, or treat chronic sinusitis.
• Turbinate Reduction:Surgery to reduce the size of the nasal turbinates, which can improve airflow and alleviate nasal congestion.
• Nasal Fracture Repair:Surgical correction of a broken nose to restore its appearance and function.

Throat Surgery

• Tonsillectomy: Removal of the tonsils, often performed to treat recurrent tonsillitis or sleep apnea.
• Adenoidectomy: Removal of the adenoids, typically performed in children with recurrent ear infections or nasal obstruction.
• Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP): A procedure to remove excess tissue from the throat to treat obstructive sleep apnea.
• Microlaryngoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to examine and treat conditions affecting the vocal cords and larynx.
• Pharyngoplasty: Surgery to reshape the throat and soft palate, often used to treat sleep apnea or snoring.
• Laryngectomy: Removal of part or all of the larynx, typically performed to treat laryngeal cancer.
