Otorhinolaryngoscopy surgery, also known as ENT endoscopic surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an endoscope to visualize and treat conditions affecting the ear, nose, and throat. It allows surgeons to access and perform interventions without the need for large incisions.

Otorhinolaryngoscopy surgery can diagnose and treat various ENT conditions, including chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, vocal cord disorders, laryngeal tumors, foreign body removal, and biopsy of suspicious lesions.

Otorhinolaryngoscopy surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that the procedure is pain-free. After the surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness, which can be managed with pain medications as prescribed by the surgeon.

The duration of otorhinolaryngoscopy surgery varies depending on the specific condition being treated. Some procedures may take only a few minutes, while more complex surgeries can take several hours. Your surgeon will provide you with an estimate of the expected duration for your particular case.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, although they are generally rare. These may include bleeding, infection, injury to surrounding structures, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you and take necessary precautions to minimize them.

Recovery times can vary depending on the specific procedure performed and individual factors. In many cases, patients can go home the same day as the surgery. Recovery typically involves a few days of rest, avoiding strenuous activities, and following post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon.

Otorhinolaryngoscopy surgery is minimally invasive, often requiring only small incisions or no external incisions at all. As a result, the procedure generally leaves minimal or no visible scars.

The time it takes to resume normal activities will depend on the specific surgery performed and individual healing. Most patients can gradually return to their routine activities within a few days to a week following the procedure. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines based on your condition.

Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled to monitor your progress, evaluate healing, and address any concerns or questions you may have. Your surgeon will determine the frequency and duration of follow-up visits based on your individual case.
