Dr. Christopher Desouza is an experienced surgical specialist and this briefing covers otolaryngology,
or
Ears, Nose and throat (ENT) surgery. Apart from ENT also evaluate and manage diseases of the head,
neck and thyroid surgery
Modern surgery has developed to such an extent that the body of knowledge and technical skills required
have led to surgeons specialising in particular areas, usually an anatomical area of the body or
occasionally in a particular technique or type of patient.
Otology - Treatment of infection, disease and damage to the ear to improve hearing and
balance. Neurotologists deal with conditions deep in the middle and inner ear where conditions are more
closely linked to the brain.
Rhinology - Treatment of sinus and nasal disorders, including allergy, to relieve pain,
ease breathing and improve nasal function.
Laryngology - Treatment of
infections of the throat and larynx to ease speech and
swallowing.
Head and neck surgery – away from the main ENT systems, specializing in surgery on
cysts, glands such as lymph, salivary, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and head and neck
cancers.
Facial plastics - this can include aesthetic procedures such as rhinoplasty (‘nose
job’), pinnaplasty (bat ears), face lifts or reconstructive such as re-setting the jaw. There is a big
cross-over here with the work of plastic and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
Paediatrics - there are many ENT conditions, often congenital, that require treatment
at a very young age. These include airway problems, infections of adenoids or tonsils that require their
removal, and grommets for ‘glue ear’.
Cochlear Implants - have been the biggest recent development enabling the profoundly
deaf to gain a sense of hearing for the first time. Currently this procedure involves inserting an
electrode into the inner ear (cochlea) and directly stimulating the auditory nerve.
Life as an experienced ENT surgeon
Otolaryngologists (commonly referred to as ENT surgeons) deal with the diagnosis, evaluation and management of diseases of head and neck and principally the ears, nose and throat.
One of the key areas of concern for ENT surgeons are helping patients cope with or recover from diseases that
impair the senses of hearing and balance.ENT specialist & Surgeon in Andheri East, Bandra West Mumbai Dr. Chris Desouza Restore Hearing from children to Adults
