Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) department; It is a health field that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that occur in the head, neck, ear, nose and throat.
Some ENT Diseases Treated in Our Hospitals
Rhinology (Nose and Sinus Diseases)
It covers all congenital, infectious, developmental and tumoral diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Nasal curvature and nasal flesh growth are treated using the latest techniques and technologies such as radiofrequency. Endoscopic sinus surgery technique is applied in the treatment of sinusitis.
Treatment of Childhood Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases
The treatment of childhood breathing difficulties, snoring, recurrent infections, hearing impairments and allergies is carried out in coordination with the pediatric department in our hospital. Patients with surgical indications (adenoids, tonsils, ear catarrh) are operated on.
Facial Fractures
Fractures of facial bones such as nose, jaw, cheekbone and airway injuries after trauma are important ENT emergencies. These fractures are treated using open or closed technique and microplate-screws when necessary.
Voice Diseases
Diseases that originate in the vocal cords or restrict their movement cause hoarseness. The vocal cords and their functions are evaluated by endoscopic examinations and cases requiring surgery are treated under the microscope and, if necessary, using laser.
Head and Neck Tumors
It includes all kinds of benign and malignant tumors originating from the head and neck region. Head and neck tumors, like all other tumors, require a multidisciplinary approach. Patients are evaluated together with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and radiology specialists and their treatment is planned. In surgical treatment, neck dissections should be performed effectively in cases with neck metastasis or the possibility of neck metastasis along with the treatment of the relevant region. An experienced team is working in this field in our hospital.
Snoring
Snoring and sleep apnea (stopping breathing during sleep) are diseases that seriously impair people's quality of life and health. It is important to treat these conditions, which are triggered by many factors, as a whole. Patients are evaluated with polysomnography (sleep test) and surgical interventions can be applied to the nose, palate or jaw to correct airway stenosis in appropriate cases.
Allergic Rhinitis
Allergens are substances that stimulate the immune system and cause allergies. When the immune system first encounters an allergen that enters the body, no clinical symptoms occur, because specific antibodies (IgE) have not yet been produced against the substance. These special antibodies are produced on the first contact, but on the second contact the immune system reacts and allergy symptoms appear.

External Ear canal Problems
The external auditory canal (auditory canal) is about 2.5 cm long in adults. The outer 1/3 is cartilage and the inner 2/3 is bone. The skin of the cartilaginous part contains hairs and hair sacs, sebaceous and glandular glands. The secretion of the glands and shed epithelial cells combine to form a protective secretion called cerumen. The cerumen has a protective role in the external auditory canal (dhy), forming a protective barrier against infection with the substances it contains. Please visit https://cdn.npistanbul.com/dis-kulak-enfeksiyonu for questions and answers about the external ear (dhy).
Sinusitis
Sinuses are air spaces around the nose. The sinuses open into the nasal cavities through special channels. They are filled with air. The nasal cavities and sinuses are lined as a whole with a covering layer (mucosa) with the same properties. This layer continuously secretes a cleansing secretion, which is discharged into the nasal cavity through the sinuses' own ducts via the vibrating hairs on the layer.

Tinnitus
Tinnitus is defined as the perception of sound in the ears or head without external acoustic stimuli. It originates from the Latin word "tinnire" meaning "ringing". This sound can be described by the patient in many different characters, but regardless of the character of the sound, it is called tinnitus. It is thought that tinnitus, which is considered as a symptom rather than a disease, not only causes a decrease in the quality of life of individuals, but also prepares the ground for many mental problems.

Dizziness
Balance is achieved by the brain evaluating the information coming from the eyes, the balance organs in the inner ear, and the musculoskeletal system. A disorder in one of these systems disrupts the harmony between these systems and may cause imbalance or dizziness.
