Scope of Services in Otolaryngology (ENT) in Dubai

Our otolaryngologists are skilled in identifying the causes behind seemingly minor symptoms such as:

  • Difficulty breathing and snoring
  • Persistent runny nose and impaired sense of smell
  • Throat discomfort and tonsillar stones
  • Nausea and motion sickness
  • Hearing issues and ear pain
  • Pain in the maxillary sinuses, temples, and forehead
  • Swollen lymph nodes

Our specialists excel in treating a broad range of nasal conditions including sinusitis, polyps, adenoids, and other sinus-related issues using diagnostic techniques such as rhinoscopy, X-rays, sinus punctures, and palpation.

Conditions like angina, laryngitis, tonsillitis, and mononucleosis are thoroughly evaluated using mirror laryngoscopy and specialized laryngeal devices. In complex cases, computerized or magnetic resonance tomography may be necessary.

For ear-related ailments such as otitis media, external ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, hearing loss, earwax buildup, tinnitus, and foreign object removal, our ENTs employ otoscopy, audiometry, and acoustic testing to accurately diagnose and treat these conditions.

Diagnostic ENT Tests for Adults and Children

Effective ENT Help for Adults and Children

Nasal lavage is a therapeutic or hygienic procedure, irrigation of the sinuses with special solutions for the prevention or treatment of infections. During irrigation from the mucosa, inflammatory processes are eliminated, mucus is removed along with pathogenic agents.

Sinus puncture is one of the methods of diagnosis and treatment of various diseases of the nasal cavity. It is used when the patency of the channel between the nasal cavity and the sinus is impaired, it is used for normal outflow of purulent contents, removal of polyps and cysts.

YAMIK is a method of treating acute sinusitis without puncturing the maxillary sinus, for which a special YAMIK catheter is used. The essence of the method is that with the help of a YAMIK sinus catheter it is possible to remove pathological contents from the paranasal sinuses without traumatizing their walls. This method was invented by Russian otorhinolaryngologist Prof. V.S. Kozlov and became popular as an effective alternative to maxillary sinus puncture.

The tonsillar lavage is one of the conservative methods of treatment of chronic tonsillitis, which allows you to clean the lacunae of tonsils from pathological contents, which are pus and "plugs". The tonsils have a complex structure consisting of many small openings called lacunae. It is in these lacunae that many microorganisms, viruses and bacteria accumulate, which can cause various diseases of the pharynx. Cleansing the lacunae of the tonsils can remove accumulated microorganisms and other harmful substances from them, thereby helping to prevent and treat diseases of the pharynx. It is a medication-free procedure that can be an effective adjunct to other treatments.

Laser therapy is a method of treatment using rays of optical range. Within the framework of laser therapy it is possible to accelerate metabolic processes, establish blood circulation, increase nonspecific resistance of the body. This is a fairly modern method of treatment of various pathologies. Laser is indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic rhinitis, adenoiditis. You can use laser therapy for pollinosis, manifested by a strong runny nose. Treatment is carried out in children and adults.

Magnetic therapy is an effective, safe and painless physiotherapeutic procedure aimed at the impact on the body of low-frequency permanent or alternating magnetic fields. Magnetic therapy has a number of positive changes on the body: improves the permeability of cell membranes, activates the processes of metabolism and tissue repair, increases the efficiency of enzymes, widen the lumen of capillaries, which leads to improved oxygen supply to tissues and removal of metabolic products, also increases the immune forces of the body, stimulates the production of collagen.

Phonophoresis is a therapeutic procedure in which the drug is injected into the tissues under the influence of low-frequency ultrasound. The procedure has a double effect: ultrasound has an anti-edema, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect due to the destruction of bacterial cells. An additional effect is produced by the drug that is used for injection.

Electrophoresis is a method of electrotherapy, which is based on the effects of direct current and the action of drugs delivered by means of current. The procedure has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-edematous effect. The method is recommended for diseases of the nose and nasopharynx. With the help of electrophoresis in the pathological focus, especially located superficially, it is possible to create a high concentration of drugs without saturating the entire body with them.

Ear washing is a hygienic procedure to get rid of a wax plug or foreign body blocking the external ear canal. It is also necessary to remove pus from the ear cavity in otitis media. It is the easiest and painless way to get rid of earwax plugs.

Nasal tamponade is a medical procedure aimed at stopping nasal bleeding by inserting gauze tampons impregnated with healing agents into the nasal cavity. Depending on the localization of the injured area, an anterior nasal tamponade is performed (the tampon is inserted through the nose) or posterior (the tampon is inserted through the oral cavity). This technique allows to stop serious hemorrhage, save the patient from significant blood loss and a number of other devastating consequences for health.

Nasal mucosal cautery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed to reduce hypertrophied nasal mucosa. Inability or difficulty in nasal breathing is a problem that always accompanies chronic runny nose. Sometimes in such cases, patients become dependent on vasoconstrictors. By cauterizing the nasal mucosa, the network of blood vessels that lie between the epithelium and the bones is vaporized. The swelling subsides and the ability to breathe through the nose returns. The procedure also helps to cope with frequent nosebleeds and vasomotor and allergic runny nose.

Removal of a foreign body from the nose is a procedure that allows you to remove an object of a foreign nature, which accidentally fell into the cavity or sinus of the nose. Foreign bodies can be a source of infection and cause inflammation of the mucous membrane of the sinus - sinusitis, as well as allergic reactions.

Removal of tonsils is a surgical procedure to completely remove the tonsils affected by chronic inflammation (chronic tonsillitis). The tonsils (tonsils) become inflamed when their lymphoid tissue involved in the formation of immunity is unable to cope with the infectious agent. In this case, adults and children develop acute tonsillitis (sore throat), which can develop into chronic tonsillitis.

Adenoid removal is a surgery to remove hypertrophied pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids) that obstruct nasal breathing, can cause speech disorders and hearing loss. Adenoid overgrowth occurs mainly at the age of 3-10 years. Surgical intervention is performed only when conservative therapy is ineffective and there is a significant health disorder, when adenoids interfere with the child and threaten his or her health.

Septoplasty is an operation aimed at correcting the shape of the nasal septum. Intervention is performed in case of a pronounced deformation of the osteochondral plate, which provokes functional disorders of the respiratory organs and morphological changes in the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Minor curvature, which is only a cosmetic defect, can be corrected at the patient's request.

Vasotomy is the partial destruction of modified vascular structures located in the nasal cavity in order to establish normal breathing. Hypertrophy of the mucosa on the background of constant rhinitis. Dependence on vasoconstrictor drops as a result of their prolonged and uncontrolled use. Vasotomy is an operation for which local anesthesia is sufficient. During its performance, the surgeon crosses the vessels going to the nasal mucosa. The entire procedure lasts up to 15 minutes.

Polysinusotomy is an endoscopic surgery performed on the sinuses. An effective technique demonstrates high results of therapy and has a minimal risk of complications. Surgical approach is used in the treatment of a wide range of pathologies of the paranasal sinuses.

Polyp removal is an endoscopic surgery, during which polyposis neoplasms on the mucosa of the nasal cavity or sinuses are excised. These structures interfere with full nasal breathing and contribute to the development of inflammatory processes.

Nasal conchotomy is a minimally invasive surgical intervention, during which the lower and middle nasal shells together with the mucosa are partially or completely removed. In some pathological conditions (e.g., hypertrophic rhinitis), the submucous (vascular) layer of the lower nasal shells grows, which leads to worsening of nasal breathing. If conservative treatment fails, conchotomy is the most effective method.

Nasal septal resection is a surgical procedure that is used to restore nasal breathing that has been impaired by a deviated nasal septum. Resection is considered the most radical method of resolving a deviated nasal septum.

Stapedoplasty is the only surgery that is performed to improve hearing in otosclerosis. The operation is first performed on the ear that is hard of hearing. The second ear is operated on after six months if the hearing in the operated ear is good and stable.

Myringoplasty is a surgery to repair the eardrum using a transplanted flap of skin. The eardrum is a thin skin that protects the middle ear from water, dust. It also transmits air vibrations to the auditory ossicles. Indications for myringoplasty: mechanical damage to the tympanic membrane, acoustic trauma, mesotympanitis.

Tympanoplasty is a functional and reconstructive intervention. It is performed to restore or create a new air-bearing cavity of the middle ear, to reconstruct or prosthetize the auditory ossicles, to restore the integrity of the eardrum. Treatment of otitis media by surgical tympanoplasty has the following advantages: prevention of new recurrences of otitis media; prevention of complications of the disease; partial or complete restoration of good hearing.

Mastoidoplasty is an surgery performed to improve morphologic and functional outcomes in patients after radical ear surgery. Mastoidoplasty is performed when conservative treatment of mastoiditis, which develops as a consequence of acute purulent otitis media, is ineffective. The main goal of such surgery is to prevent inflammatory diseases of the middle ear and improve hearing.

A tympanic cavity shunt is an operation in which a ventilation tube, the shunt, is inserted through the soft membrane. The shunt is placed for a period of two to twelve months, after which it is removed and the membrane is gradually repaired. The main purpose of the procedure is to maintain aeration of the middle ear, equalize air pressure and prevent the accumulation of exudate in the tympanic cavity. Bypass surgery is performed in otitis media, purulent and inflammatory processes, and acute hearing loss.

Tracheostomy is a surgical operation to form an artificial opening in the trachea, through which air is supplied by a special tube. This operation is performed by opening the trachea with the introduction of a special tube into its lumen for a longer or shorter period of time. Tracheostomy is performed when the patient is unable to breathe through the natural airways.Tracheostomy is a surgical operation to form an artificial opening in the trachea, through which air is supplied by a special tube.
