ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat)

A mastoidectomy involves the surgical removal of the troubled mastoid air cells. Your mastoid, a bone resembling a honeycomb situated just behind your ear, contains hollow places where these air cells are produced.

A mastoidectomy is required when an ear infection (otitis media) spreads to your skull. Moreover, the surgery is utilised to treat cholesteatoma. This non-cancerous tumour develops below the eardrum frequently as a side effect of persistent ear infections.

Mastoidectomy is commonly carried out concurrently with cochlear implant surgery.
The extent of the operation will depend on your particular circumstances. A straightforward mastoidectomy will treat any disease in your mastoid while preserving the structures of your ear canal and middle ear.

Chronic ear infections may be treated with a mastoidectomy to reduce recurrence (return). Also, the technique can avoid significant cholesteatoma side effects like:

• Loss of hearing.

• Vertigo.

• Dizziness.

• Injury to facial nerves.

• Labyrinthitis.

• Meningitis.

• Brain infection.

To restore your hearing, medical professionals undertake stapedectomy surgery. Stapedectomies cure otosclerosis-related middle ear damage. The stape, a little U-shaped bone in the middle ear that transmits sound waves to your inner ear, is harmed by this illness. Your stape is replaced with an artificial device by medical professionals in order to treat otosclerosis.

If you have otosclerosis-related hearing loss, a stapedectomy can be necessary. The stape loses the flexibility necessary to transport sound waves from the middle ear to the inner ear as it merges with the surrounding bone tissue.

Over time, you can become aware that you have problems hearing people when they whisper if you have otosclerosis. Low-pitched sounds may be difficult for you to hear. There is a chance that you can hear better when there is a lot of background noise. Otosclerosis patients might begin speaking more softly because they feel their voice is overly loud.

Additional signs of otosclerosis could be:

• Balancing issues.

• Vertigo.

• Tinnitus (ringing in your ears).

• Dizziness.

A cochlear implant is a technological innovation that enhances hearing. For those who are unable to hear effectively with hearing aids due to severe hearing loss caused by inner-ear damage, it may be an option.

A cochlear implant delivers sound impulses to the hearing (auditory) nerve without using damaged parts of the ear, in contrast to hearing aids, which enhance sound. A behind-the-ear sound processor is used with cochlear implants. The receiver is implanted behind the ear and receives sound signals from the processor by sending them to the receiver. The impulses are sent from the receiver to electrodes inserted in the inner ear's snail-shaped structure (cochlea).

The signals stimulate the auditory nerve, which subsequently send the signals to the brain. Although the noises produced by those impulses are not precisely like those heard naturally, the brain interprets them as sounds.

Deciphering the signals from a cochlear implant requires practice and time. Most cochlear implant users improve their ability to interpret speech significantly within the first three to six months of use.

Nasal Cavity Cancers get developed due to smoking at times. These tumourous tissues need to be removed so that the case doesn’t become severe. Nasal Tumour Surgeries are done to remove tumorous tissues and a few normal tissues from the surrounding areas to ensure no cancer cells remain.
