• Deviated septum

• Nasal polyps

• Hearing loss

• Ear infections

• Tonsil and throat conditions

ENT Procedures Performed

Otolaryngologists at Copper Ridge Surgery Center perform a variety of procedures designed to improve breathing, hearing, and sinus health, including:

• Sinus surgery

• Septoplasty (deviated septum correction)

• Tonsillectomy and adenoid procedures

• Nasal airway procedures

• Ear procedures to address chronic ear conditions

• Removal of nasal polyps

• Endoscopic sinus procedures

 

Many of these procedures use minimally invasive endoscopic techniques that allow surgeons to treat conditions through small instruments placed through the nose or ear.

​

Advanced Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Modern ENT procedures often utilize endoscopic sinus surgery, a technique that allows surgeons to treat sinus conditions using small instruments and specialized cameras inserted through the nasal passages.

Benefits of endoscopic sinus surgery may include:

• Improved sinus drainage

• Reduced sinus infections

• Better breathing through the nose

• Relief from chronic sinus pressure

• Minimal external incisions

 

This approach allows physicians to treat sinus conditions with greater precision while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue.

• Comfortable recovery areas
