Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery

ENT is the medical and surgical treatment of the ears, nose throat, and related structures of the head and neck. It’s also known as otolaryngology.

At Duchy Hospital our consultant ENT surgeons have special expertise in managing diseases of the ears, nose and nasal passage sinuses, larynx (voice box), oral cavity and upper pharynx (mouth and throat), as well as structures of the neck and face. They offer a full range of ENT services and also perform cosmetic plastic and reconstructive surgery.

ENT conditions we regularly see include:

• Ear disorders (otology) - hearing disorders, ear infections, balance disorders, facial nerve or cranial nerve disorders and cancerous disorders of the outer and inner ear.
• Nasal cavity and sinuses (rhinology) - nasal and sinus problems, nasal injuries, tumours and polyps of the nose, allergies, sense of smell and nasal respiration (breathing) disorders.
• Throat conditions - voice respiration (breathing) and swallowing issues, adenoids and snoring
• Head and neck problems - infectious diseases, tumours (benign and malignant), facial trauma, and deformities of the face.

We offer the very best ENT care from diagnosis through to treatment using the latest techniques as appropriate.
