Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) diseases are not simply limited to upper respiratory tract infections. In modern medicine, this branch is also called “Head and Neck Surgery” because ENT specialists perform both functional and aesthetic operations in a wide range of areas, from the most complex structures of the face to the delicate tissues of the neck.
So, what surgical procedures does an ENT doctor perform? Let’s take a closer look at the operations that stand out in particular at Op. Dr. Mehmet Durmuşoğlu’s clinic and directly affect your quality of life.
1. Nasal Surgery (Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery)
This is one of the most popular and demanding areas of ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialization. The nose is both a vital organ that allows us to breathe and the center of facial aesthetics.
- Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty (Nose Aesthetics): Unlike classical methods, this technique shapes bones using ultrasonic sound waves (Piezo) instead of breaking them. It offers less bruising, faster healing, and higher precision.
- Septoplasty (Deviation Surgery): Correcting the curvature of the bone and cartilage in the midline of the nose to open up the airways.
- Concha Surgery (Nasal Turbinate Surgery): Reducing nasal turbinates that hinder breathing using radiofrequency or surgical methods.
- Revision Rhinoplasty: Correcting previous nose surgeries where the results were unsatisfactory or functional problems persist.
2. Throat and Head and Neck Region Surgeries
Operations in this field are generally aimed at improving the quality of swallowing, speaking, and breathing.
- Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy: Surgical solutions for tonsil and adenoid problems, especially common in children.
- Snoring and Sleep Apnea Surgery: Interventions in the soft palate and base of the tongue to eliminate blockages that disrupt sleep quality.
- Salivary Gland Surgery: Treatment of problems in the salivary glands caused by reasons such as stones or tumors.
3. Ear Surgery (Otology)
Hearing loss and chronic infections are resolved with surgeries in this field.
- Tympanoplasty: Repair of the eardrum and correction of damaged ossicles in the middle ear.
- Ventilation Tube Insertion: Insertion of a tube into the eardrum to equalize pressure in cases of fluid accumulation in the middle ear.
Why Choose an ENT Specialist Surgeon?
When performing a facial operation, such as rhinoplasty, the biggest advantage of choosing an ENT specialist is that health and aesthetics are considered as a whole.
“Aesthetic naturalness is only possible with healthy breathing.”
As Dr. Mehmet Durmuşoğlu approaches it, ensuring the patient can breathe comfortably after surgery is just as important as achieving a great external appearance of the nose. Pre-operative planning is done using technologies like 3D Vectra simulation, aiming for the most suitable and functional outcome for the patient.
ENT specialists are surgeons who protect our most basic senses: hearing, smell, taste, and breathing. If you are looking for a solution that meets both your aesthetic expectations and prioritizes your health, consulting with a specialist ENT physician is the right step.
