Specialized Services & Treatments

🔹 Advanced Chronic Rhinosinusitis Management

  • Multidisciplinary Approach – Combining medical therapies, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics, and biologic treatments, with surgical options like Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) for long-lasting relief.
  • Management of Refractory Sinusitis – For cases that do not respond to conventional treatments, including balloon sinuplasty or revision surgery to address persistent sinus drainage issues.

🔹 Nasal Tumors and Neoplasms

  • Comprehensive Diagnostic Workup – Utilization of advanced imaging, nasal endoscopy, and biopsies to detect and diagnose malignant or benign tumors in the nasal cavity and sinuses.
  • Surgical Tumor Removal – Expert surgical procedures for the removal of nasal and sinus tumors, including minimally invasive approaches that preserve surrounding tissue and structure.
  • Post-Operative Cancer Care – Coordinating with oncology specialists for radiation and chemotherapy as part of an integrated treatment plan for nasal and sinus cancers.

🔹 Complex Nasal Obstruction Management

  • Nasal Valve Surgery – Reconstruction of the nasal valve for patients with severe airflow obstruction or collapse, improving both function and appearance.
  • Advanced Septoplasty – Surgical correction of complex septal deviations that cause chronic nasal obstruction, combined with other nasal procedures as needed.
  • Endoscopic Approaches for Nasal Obstruction – Utilizing endoscopic techniques to correct structural obstructions and restore optimal airflow.

🔹 Management of Recurrent Nasal Polyps and Allergic Rhinitis

  • Advanced Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy – Detailed allergy testing and long-term immunotherapy to treat allergic rhinitis and prevent recurrent nasal polyps.
  • Endoscopic Sinus Surgery – Minimally invasive procedures for removing nasal polyps and addressing underlying causes of chronic allergic rhinitis.

  • Revision Rhinoplasty – For patients seeking correction of previous unsatisfactory nasal surgeries or treatment of complications like persistent nasal obstruction.

🔹 Complex Snoring and Sleep Apnea Management

  • Sleep Apnea Evaluation – Comprehensive assessment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, including overnight sleep studies and polysomnography.
  • Surgical Treatments for Sleep Apnea – Surgical interventions such as nasal airway surgery, septoplasty, and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) for patients with sleep-disordered breathing due to nasal and upper airway issues.
  • Laser Therapy for Snoring – Minimally invasive laser treatments to reduce snoring and improve overall sleep quality.

🔹 Post-Operative Care and Rehabilitation
