ENT

Otorhinolaryngology—commonly known as ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat)—is a surgical specialty focused on disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related areas of the head and neck. At Gosford Specialist Day Hospital, we offer a wide range of ENT procedures in an outpatient clinic setting and as an inpatient catering to both adult and paediatric patients.

ENT procedures provided include:

• Insertion of Grommets (Ventilation Tubes)
• Adenoidectomy (Adenoid Removal)
• Septoplasty (Correction of Deviated Nasal Septum)
• Turbinoplasty (Nasal Airway Improvement)
• SMRIT (Submucosal Resection of Inferior Turbinates)
• FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)
• Rosen Graft Procedures
• Alarplasty (Reshaping of Nasal Wings)
• Nasal Fracture Reduction
• Other minor procedures, such as:
  • ENT biopsies
  • Microsuction of the ear

Most ENT procedures at Gosford Specialist Day Hospital are performed under general anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort. In some cases—particularly where medical history or age is a consideration—procedures may be performed under local anaesthetic, with or without sedation.

Post-operative care may include a prescription for pain relief and/or antibiotics to assist with recovery at home.
