Presbyterian Healthcare 
Ear Nose Throat (ENT) Otolaryngology
| Specialists at Presbyterian Healthcare perform all of the latest minimally invasive ENT procedures of the head and neck, often in the office. |
Surgery of the head and neck presents a unique challenge because of cosmetic considerations related to skin incisions on and around the face. Surgical microscopes and fiberoptic endoscopes allow many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the head and neck to be performed, without a skin incision, through the ear, nose and mouth.
The minimally invasive ENT procedures that are regularly practiced at Presbyterian Healthcare include:
Optic nerve decompression occurs when there is increased pressure to the nerve of vision without a discernable cause.
Orbital decompression is a condition where the eye is pushed forward by the extra fat in the eye socket.
Patients who snore and have obstruction of their breathing can be treated with a technique that uses radio waves emitted from an electrode.
Presbyterian Healthcare ear, nose and throat specialists treat chronic sinus problems with functional endoscopic sinus surgery. This is a minimally invasive procedure that eliminates the need for an external incision.
