Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgery

---

Merit Health Woman's Hospital offers a range of surgical treatments to address ear, nose and throat conditions, including minimally invasive endoscopic and robotic surgery techniques. Ear, nose and throat doctors (otolaryngologists or ENT doctors) have a broad range of experience to provide surgical treatment for everything from nasal congestion and hearing disorders to a deviated septum or broken nose.

Board-certified ENT doctors provide a range of treatment options, including:

• Hearing-loss solutions, including cochlear implants, bone conduction devices and ear-tube surgery
• Laryngeal and voice solutions
• Plastic and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck
• Skull base tumor treatment
• Sinus surgery, including laser treatments, endoscopic techniques and radiofrequency ablation
• Septoplasty
• Treatments to correct chronic snoring, sleep apnea and other related disorders
• Turbinate surgery

We are committed to providing patients with minimally invasive techniques, such as:

• Balloon dilation surgery - In this procedure, small, flexible devices are inserted into the nostrils to gently open blocked sinus openings to alleviate symptoms of chronic sinusitis. This technique can result in less bleeding, facilitates a quicker recovery and does not limit further treatment options.
• Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) - Surgeons use robotic surgery to gain greater accuracy and surgical precision for treating mouth and throat cancers. This robotic technique can result in less pain and scarring, and a quicker recovery for patients.
