Otorhinolaryngology (Greek., us, ot[os] ear + rhis, rhin[os] nose + larynx, laryng[os] larynx + “logos” study) — part of medicine specialized in diagnostics and treatment of ear, throat and nose diseases.

■ mastoiditis;
■ acute and chronic sensorineural deafness;
■ benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV);
■ Meniere’s disease;
■ labyrinthitis;
■ traumas of external and inner ear;
■ ruptured eardrum.

Pharynx and larynx diseases:
■ acute and chronic pharyngitis;
■ acute and chronic laryngitis;
■ acute and chronic tonsillitis;
■ snoring;
■ adenoids;
■ peritonsillitis;
■ peritonsillar, parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal abscess;
■ pharyngeal edema;
■ acute and chronic stenosis of pharynx;
■ foreign bodies of larynx and pharynx.

Diseases of nose and paranasal cavities:
■ acute and chronic sinusitis (maxillary, ethmoid, frontal sinusitis);
■ nasal septum deviation;
■ Polyps of nose and paranasal sinuses;
■ acute rhinitis;
■ chronic rhinitis (hypertrophic, vasomotor, dependence on vasoconstrictor drops);
■ allergic rhynitis;
■ nasal bleedings;
■ fractures of nose;
■ rhinogenous orbital and intracranial complications;
■ nasal synechiaes;
■ foreign bodies of nose and paranasal sinuses.

Diagnostics of ENT-diseases are being carried out using endoscopic video and roentgen devices as well as CT, US and audiometry.

ENT-surgeries performed in MediСlub Hospital:

■ septoplasty;
■ adenoidectomy (removal of the adenoid);
■ haymorotomy;
■ rhinoplasty;
■ tympanoplasty;
■ tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils);
■ endoscopic functional rhinosinus surgery (surgery of nose and paranasal cavities);
■ conchotomy (incision of nasal concha);
■ radiowave vasotomy of the nasal concha;
■ open and closed reduction of nasal bone fractures;
■ Opening and drainage of peritonsillar (retropharyngeal) abscesses;
■ Insertion of grommets/tympanostomy tube;
■ Removal of foreign bodies of ear, nose and throat.

A radiofrequency surgery apparatus “Surgitron” is being used in ENT-practice for minimally invasive treatment. Minimally invasive and painless procedures of radiowave surgeries provide for their efficient out-patient use.
