Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery

 

Ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeons are trained in the surgical and medical treatment of conditions of the ears, nose, throat, head and neck, including facial plastics and some cosmetic surgery including ear reshaping.

 

Some of the conditions managed within this speciality include common illnesses such as recurrent tonsillitis and recurrent ear infections such as otitis media, which are common in children (link to Paediatric Ear, Nose and Throat).

 

Other conditions include obstructive sleep apnoea (link to sleep clinic), and nasal blockage which can result from sinusitis, as well as unique and special problems only seen within this patient group.

 

Bupa Cromwell Hospital has a committed team of Consultant Audiologists and scientists dedicated to providing a complete audiological service (link to Audiology) for adults and children. The Department is based in a custom built sound proofed suite of rooms, ensuring that all external noises are screened out. The multi-specialist team provides assessment and treatment of audiological disorders (link to Audiological Medicine) and works closely with the ENT Surgeons based in the Hospital. Our Speech and Language Therapist (link) is available for the diagnosis and treatment for problems of communication (including voice), and swallowing disorders.
