ENT Procedures for Children and Adults

At KindCare, patients can discuss suitable procedures for conditions affecting the nose, sinuses and tonsils, including:

• Tonsillor — device-assisted irrigation of the tonsillar crypts.
• The Proetz method, commonly known in Russian as “Kukushka” — nasal irrigation using fluid displacement.
• Treatments using the LAST-LOR device.

The need for a procedure and the appropriate method are determined by the ENT doctor following an examination, taking the diagnosis, patient’s age and contraindications into account.

Nasal Breathing, Sinusitis and Sinus Surgery

Persistent nasal congestion, recurrent sinusitis and difficulty breathing through the nose can affect sleep, physical activity and daily life. During the consultation, the otolaryngologist assesses potential causes and determines the next steps.

Dr. Christoph’s surgical experience includes:

• Septoplasty — correction of a deviated nasal septum.
• Turbinoplasty and turbinate reduction — procedures involving the nasal turbinates.
• Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery — FESS.
• Functional septorhinoplasty — correction of nasal structures to improve breathing.

The need for surgery is assessed individually based on examination and investigation findings.

Ear Conditions and Hearing Loss

Dr. Christoph has experience diagnosing and treating external and middle ear conditions, including those associated with pain, inflammation and hearing loss.

His surgical practice includes myringoplasty and tympanoplasty to repair the eardrum and middle ear structures, ventilation tube insertion, and selected procedures involving the hearing bones.

When hearing loss occurs, identifying its cause helps determine whether medication, further assessment or surgical treatment is appropriate.

ENT Care for Children in Dubai

Dr. Christoph sees children with ear, nose and throat conditions, paying particular attention to symptoms that may affect hearing, nasal breathing and sleep quality.

Reasons to seek a children’s ENT consultation include recurrent ear infections, difficulty breathing through the nose, snoring, tonsil problems and suspected hearing loss.

Consultations assess snoring, possible pauses in breathing during sleep, and anatomical factors that may affect the airway.

His surgical experience includes uvulopalatopharyngoplasty — UPPP, including radiofrequency-assisted techniques. Treatment is selected after investigating the cause of the breathing disturbance.

Laryngeal Conditions, Vocal Cords and Head and Neck Surgery

Persistent hoarseness, voice changes and other laryngeal symptoms require assessment by an otolaryngologist.
