Adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the adenoids, which are a mass of soft, lymphatic tissue located in the upper part of the throat behind the nose, specifically in the nasopharynx area. The adenoids are part of the body’s immune system and play a role in defending the body against infections, particularly during early childhood. They help trap bacteria and viruses that enter the body through the nose and mouth.
Adenoids, along with the tonsils, form part of the body’s lymphatic system, which helps fight infections. They are most prominent in young children and tend to shrink as a child grows older, often becoming very small or disappearing entirely by adulthood.
Tonsillectomy is a common surgical procedure that involves the complete removal of the tonsils, which are two oval-shaped masses of lymphatic tissue located at the back of the throat, one on each side. The tonsils are an important part of the body’s immune system, especially in young children, as they help to trap and fight bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that enter the body through the mouth and nose.
The tonsils act as the body’s first line of defense in the upper respiratory tract by producing antibodies and immune cells that recognize and attack infectious agents. During early childhood, the tonsils are typically larger and more active in immune function. However, as a person grows older, the tonsils often shrink and their immune role decreases.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to restore normal drainage and function of the paranasal sinuses. It is performed using a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, which is inserted through the nostrils, allowing the surgeon to view the sinus openings and surrounding structures on a monitor and perform precise surgical interventions without external incisions.
FESS is primarily used to treat chronic sinusitis (long-lasting inflammation of the sinuses) that does not respond adequately to medical treatments such as antibiotics, nasal sprays, or other medications. It is also helpful in managing nasal polyps, recurrent sinus infections, sinus tumors, or anatomical blockages like deviated nasal septum or concha bullosa (enlarged nasal turbinates).
Tympanoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at repairing a perforation (hole) in the tympanic membrane, commonly known as the eardrum, or reconstructing the tiny bones in the middle ear known as the ossicles. These structures are essential for normal hearing.
The tympanic membrane is a thin, delicate tissue that separates the outer ear from the middle ear and plays a vital role in the hearing process. It acts as a natural barrier protecting the middle ear from infections and helps transmit sound vibrations collected by the outer ear to the ossicles in the middle ear. The ossicles then amplify these vibrations and send them to the inner ear, where they are converted into nerve impulses that the brain interprets as sound.
At Sudershan Hospital, vocal cord surgeries are performed by a team of highly skilled ENT surgeons who specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of voice and airway disorders.

Using these advanced techniques, Sudershan Hospital is able to effectively treat conditions such as vocal cord nodules, polyps, cysts, vocal cord paralysis, papillomatosis, and early-stage laryngeal cancers.
Foreign body removal in ENT refers to the medical procedures used to safely extract objects that become lodged in the ear, nose, or throat. These incidents are common emergencies in ENT practice, particularly in children who often insert small objects into their ears or noses out of curiosity. However, foreign bodies can also become stuck in adults due to accidental inhalation, swallowing, or trauma.
The presence of a foreign body can cause discomfort, pain, infection, or even breathing difficulties, making prompt diagnosis and removal essential. Common foreign bodies include beads, seeds, small toys, insects, food particles, and sometimes batteries or coins.
