What do ENT surgeons do?

ENT surgeons (commonly known as Otolaryngologists) are doctors who specialise in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of disorders of the head and neck, particularly the ears, nose, and throat. Helping patients deal with or recover from illnesses that impair the senses of hearing and balance is one of the key areas of concern for ENT surgeons.ENTs treat a wide range of head and neck conditions, including those related to Sinuses, Voicebox, Smell and taste disorders, Swallowing, Lesions or tumours in the mouth and throat, Tonsils and adenoids, Cancers in the head and neck.

Myringotomy with tube insertion

Myringotomy is an eardrum or tympanic membrane surgical procedure. The procedure is performed by cutting a tiny incision through the layers of the tympanic membrane with a myringotomy knife. This surgical treatment provides direct access to the middle ear space and the discharge of middle-ear fluid, which is the end product of otitis media with effusion (OME), in most cases, a small tube will be inserted and left in place. This will allow the drainage to continue. The incision will not be closed with stitches. The wound will close on its own. The procedure is commonly carried out on both ears. A laser beam may be used by certain surgeons to create the opening in the eardrum. This Surgery is very common, and there are very few risks involved. An ear tube insertion is more common for children, who tend to suffer ear infections more often than adults. The surgery will last about 15–20 minutes.

An otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) inserts small plastic or metal tubes into the eardrum to complete the procedure. Once inside the ear, these tubes will:

•  Reduce pressure: The pressure inside the ear is increased by ear infections and fluid accumulation, which produces pain. Ear tubes let air into the ear, balancing the pressure between the inner and outer ear. This relieves discomfort and prevents the middle ear from filling up with fluids.
•  Drain fluid: Ear tubes allow pus and mucus from ear infections to drain without causing discomfort or raising the risk of complications.
• Treatment drops: Antibiotic drops in the ears are also easier to administer with tubes. The tubes act as a passageway, allowing the drops to enter the ear immediately. Because the tubes make it easier to apply antibiotic drops, they may be able to eliminate the requirement for oral antibiotic therapy.

After the procedure, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions, which may include:

• If cotton was used in the ear canal to absorb post-surgery drainage, it should be changed regularly. (Within 2-3 days, the drainage should stop or be reduced to a minimum.)
• Unless your doctor instructs you differently, do not clean your ear after surgery or insert anything in it other than ear drops, cotton, or earplugs.

Most people get fewer ear infections after surgery and recover faster from any infections they do get. They also sleep better, hear better, and generally feel better.
