Otorhinolaryngology
Otorhinolaryngology is a branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the ear, throat, and nose, or ENT. Often, the treatment of ENT diseases is delayed for years, which deepens and worsens the effect of the disease. In this situation, it is advisable to choose the treatment of ear, nose and throat diseases abroad.
Otorhinolaryngology in the US is based on the application of the latest scientific developments and low-trauma procedures. The clinics of the Texas Medical Center are equipped with high-precision diagnostic equipment, which allows doctors to pinpoint the exact location of the problem and choose the most effective treatment strategies.
The top advantage of otolaryngology abroad is the use of minimally invasive methods and robotic surgery. Such opportunities allow us to approach the problem of ear, nose, throat, and hearing loss in new ways and achieve greater results. Trans-oral surgery allows for the removal of a variety of tumors and nasopharyngeal cysts without an external incisions. This improves the quality of the operation and shortens the patient’s rehabilitation period. It is also possible to correct a curved nasal septum without an external incision with extensively applied endoscopic treatment, cold plasma, and an adenoidectomy (removal of the adenoids). As a rule, recovery after these procedures is easier and faster.
The Texas Medical Center has a multitude of solutions to partial or total hearing loss. After the examination, the patient may be recommended the use of modern hearing aids or cochlear implants.
