Surgical Solutions
At Riverwood Healthcare Center, our experienced ENT specialists provide comprehensive care for nose and sinus conditions. Whether you’re suffering from chronic sinusitis, nasal obstruction, or polyps, we offer advanced surgical options to relieve your symptoms and improve breathing. Our minimally invasive techniques reduce recovery time and get you back to your daily life faster.
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis, a condition that causes inflammation and infection of the sinuses.
A tonsillectomy is a common procedure that removes the tonsils to treat recurring infections or obstructive sleep apnea. Our ENT team ensures safe, effective care for both children and adults. After surgery, patients typically experience significant relief from symptoms such as chronic sore throats or difficulty breathing during sleep.
Adenoidectomy involves removing the adenoids, which can become enlarged due to infection or allergies, causing breathing difficulties or recurrent ear infections. Our skilled surgeons perform this procedure using the latest techniques, helping children and adults breathe easier and experience fewer ear-related issues.
For children or adults suffering from frequent ear infections or fluid buildup, ear tube placement is a simple and effective procedure. Our ENT specialists provide personalized care, ensuring long-term relief from chronic ear problems. We also offer other ear surgeries to address hearing loss or ear drum repair, using state-of-the-art methods for optimal results.
Our ENT surgeons are trained in the removal of facial skin cancers, using precise techniques to remove cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy skin as possible. We work closely with dermatologists to ensure comprehensive treatment and provide reconstructive options for the best cosmetic outcome.
Sleep apnea can significantly affect your quality of life, causing restless nights and daytime fatigue. At Riverwood, we offer surgical solutions for sleep apnea tailored to children and adults. From tonsillectomies to advanced procedures targeting airway obstruction, our goal is to help you breathe better and enjoy restful sleep.
