To treat diseases of the nose, throat, and ears, the following methods are used:
-
conservative (medication-based) therapy;
-
physiotherapy procedures;
-
minimally invasive and classical surgical interventions.
The otolaryngology department at Oxford Medical is fully equipped to provide comprehensive diagnostics and treatment for conditions of any complexity.
Most acute inflammatory and infectious conditions respond well to medication. After making a diagnosis, the doctor creates a treatment plan and allows the patient to return home, scheduling a follow-up visit to monitor effectiveness.
In some cases, conservative therapy is combined with physiotherapy procedures. At Oxford Medical, patients can receive outpatient cryotherapy for the tonsils, as well as ultrasound, ultraviolet, laser, and phototherapy. Our otolaryngologists also perform flushing of the tonsillar crypts, nasal sinuses, and ear canals (to remove earwax plugs), along with other physiotherapy treatments.
Surgical operations in the otolaryngology department are performed not only for medical reasons but also for aesthetic purposes — such as correcting a deviated nasal septum (rhinoplasty) or changing the shape of the ear (otoplasty).
For surgical interventions, otolaryngologists at our facility in Berezniaky (where the surgical ward is located) primarily use endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques. Many conditions are effectively treated using radio wave and laser surgery. These methods access the target tissues through the oropharynx or nasopharynx, avoiding incisions on the face or neck. Such surgeries are low-trauma, have a short recovery time, and often allow the patient to go home the same day.
Endoscopic technology is also highly effective for removing foreign bodies from the ear, nose, or throat. It allows precise localization and safe extraction. However, in some cases — for example, if an insect or small toy part enters the nose or ear — the object can be removed using forceps or irrigation. In all cases, the procedure is quick and nearly painless.
