Sinus surgery treats blocked or inflamed sinuses when medicines and other non-surgical measures have not provided adequate relief. It may help people with persistent sinusitis, nasal polyps, fungal disease, structural blockage, or selected sinus complications.
Tympanoplasty is an ear surgery that repairs a hole in the eardrum, medically called the tympanic membrane, and may also reconstruct damaged middle-ear bones. It can help people with persistent ear discharge, repeated infections, hearing loss, or ear damage caused by injury.
Cochlear implantation is a surgical treatment for people with severe to profound hearing loss who receive limited benefit from hearing aids. The implant bypasses damaged sensory cells in the inner ear and directly stimulates the hearing nerve, helping the brain recognise sound.
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive treatment that opens blocked sinus drainage pathways without removing bone or tissue. It may help selected adults and children with chronic or recurrent sinusitis, which is persistent or repeated inflammation of the air-filled spaces around the nose.
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked sinus drainage pathways using a thin viewing instrument called an endoscope. It may help people with persistent sinus inflammation, nasal polyps or other sinus problems that have not improved sufficiently with appropriate medicines.
Rhinoplasty is surgery that changes the shape, size, structure, or function of the nose. It may help people who have breathing difficulty, nasal deformity after injury, a congenital difference present from birth, or concerns about facial balance.
Tonsillectomy is an operation to remove the tonsils, two pads of immune tissue at the back of the throat. It may help children or adults who have repeated tonsil infections, breathing problems caused by enlarged tonsils, or certain tonsil abnormalities.
Septoplasty is an operation that straightens a deviated nasal septum, the wall of bone and cartilage separating the two sides of the nose. It may help people who have persistent nasal blockage, disturbed sleep, repeated sinus problems or difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils.
Hemithyroidectomy is surgery to remove one lobe, or half, of the thyroid gland, usually along with the small central bridge called the isthmus. It may help people with a suspicious thyroid nodule, a localised thyroid cancer, an overactive nodule, or a large swelling causing pressure symptoms.
Thyroidectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that produces hormones controlling metabolism. It may help people with thyroid cancer, suspicious nodules, an enlarged thyroid or an overactive thyroid that cannot be managed adequately with other treatments.
