Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that is used for diagnostic purposes, as well as foreign body removal in the lungs or airways. During bronchoscopy, an ear, nose and throat specialist inserts a long, tube known as a bronchoscope through the nose or mouth. This device, which has a light and a very small camera on its tip, can be used to take a tissue sample for biopsy, aid in the diagnosis of a lung problem, or remove a foreign body that has become trapped in the lungs.
Direct laryngoscopy is a procedure utilized by surgeons for examining or treating the larynx and throat. The larynx (or voice box) is located just above the trachea. Direct laryngoscopy can be used for diagnostic purposes, foreign body removal, biopsy, removal of a mass, or the removal of a cyst. This procedure is done under general anesthesia.
Esophagoscopy, sometimes referred to as “transnasal esophagoscopy,” is a procedure that can be used for both diagnostic purposes and foreign body removal. It is frequently used in the diagnosis of dysphagia (swallowing problems). During esophagoscopy, a thin, flexible endoscope with a light and small camera on the tip is inserted into the throat via a nasal passage. The procedure can be done in-office without anesthesia and typically takes less than 30 minutes.
Approximately 53,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer per year, according to The Oral Cancer Foundation . Still, others may develop benign (non-cancerous) and precancerous oral tumors. Providers at Advanced ENT Services perform biopsy and excision (removal) of these oral tumors.
Masses or mucosal lesions of the lip, tongue, or oral cavity can cause pain and discomfort and may restrict an individual’s ability to eat and drink. In some cases, masses or mucosal lesions in the oral cavity may be cancerous. Providers at Advanced ENT Services can remove masses and lesions in order to restore health and comfort to patients.
Part of the tonsillar ring, the lingual tonsil is located at the base of the tongue close to where the throat joins the mouth and nasal cavity. In some individuals, the lingual tonsil can be removed in order to create more space for the airway behind the tongue. This procedure may be recommended for some individuals with obstructive sleep apnea or snoring issues. The procedure is performed via the mouth with no external incisions.
A mucocele is a harmless cyst that most commonly develops on the gums, roof of the mouth, under the tongue, or inside the lower lips. The mucocele may develop as a result of trauma or by biting or sucking on the cheek or lower lip. While many oral mucoceles go away on their own, some may enlarge and require treatment. An ENT surgeon may remove the gland under local anesthesia using a scalpel or laser. In some cases, the physician may use a technique called marsupialization to help a new duct form, encouraging saliva to leave the salivary gland.
Untreated strep throat or tonsillitis sometimes develops into a bacterial infection known as a peritonsillar abscess, a pus-filled pocket located near a tonsil. These abscesses are most commonly seen in children, teens and young adults during winter months when strep throat and tonsillitis are prevalent. Some cases may be treated with antibiotics; other cases may require incision and drainage. In this procedure, an ENT surgeon uses a lance or needle to aspirate the abscess.
A retropharyngeal abscess is a bacterial infection in the back of the throat that produces a collection of pus. The abscess may cause fever, stiffness, or painful swallowing. Retropharyngeal abscesses occur most commonly in children between the ages of one and eight. While initial treatment typically involves antibiotics, some children may need to see an ENT surgeon for incision and drainage of the abscess.
Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a condition that can occur in both children and adults; it is characterized by the narrowing of the subglottis, located just beneath the vocal cords and above the trachea. Subglottic stenosis may cause respiratory difficulty and noisy breathing. In children, SGS may cause recurring croup. ENT surgeons at Advanced ENT Services treat both pediatric and adult cases of SGS with an endoscopic procedure known as balloon dilation. During this procedure, a small endoscope with a balloon on the tip is inserted into the throat; the balloon is then inflated to widen the air passageway.
Supraglottoplasty is a microscopic surgical procedure used to address conditions affecting the upper larynx in both children and adults. ENT surgeons frequently use this technique to treat laryngomalacia, a congenital birth defect characterized by softening of the tissues of the larynx; laryngomalacia can cause noisy, difficult breathing in infants and children.
Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition characterized by an abnormally thick or short band of tissue connecting the tip of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. Frenotomy (tongue tie release surgery) may be done almost immediately after birth or later in infancy, childhood, or adulthood. The procedure, especially in newborns, is quick and complications are rare.
Located in the back of the throat, the tonsils help in the production of antibodies against infectious bacteria. In some people, the tonsils frequently become inflamed, producing a condition known as tonsillitis. If inflammation and infection continues to reoccur (especially within a short period of time), your child’s ENT surgeon may recommend tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils).
The adenoids (glands located in the roof of the mouth just behind the nose) may also be removed at the same time in order to improve breathing. These glands play an important role in the immune system. Typically, the adenoids begin to shrink during childhood and are almost entirely gone by teenage years. In some children, the adenoids enlarge, blocking the airway and causing breathing difficulties, sleep apnea, ear infections, and other complications. During an adenoidectomy, the ENT surgeon removes the tissue. Adenoid removal surgery is done under general anesthesia.
Known as UPPP, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty is a procedure that maximizes capacity of the airway in the throat while preventing tissue collapse. The procedure is commonly done to treat adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea. By removing excess tissue, breathing may be easier and quality of sleep may improve.
Throat surgeons at Advanced ENT Services perform a wide range of vocal cord surgeries and diagnostic procedures, including suspension microlaryngoscopy for large number of lesions in the voice box; vocal fold paralysis surgery; various pharyngoplasty procedures for velopharyngeal insufficiency; microlaryngoscopy; vocal fold injection medialization; thyroplasty; cancer surgery; digital video-stroboscopy; fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing and sensory testing; and transnasal esophagoscopy.

What is an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor?
An ear, nose and throat doctor is also known as and ENT or an otolaryngologist. These physicians diagnose and manage diseases or disorders of the ears, nose, throat, sinuses, larynx (voice box), mouth and throat, as well as structures of the neck and face (AAO, 2017). ENT’s make diagnoses, prescribe treatments and perform surgeries in the ear, nose, throat, head and neck regions.
Beginning of dialog window. Escape will cancel and close the window.
An otolaryngologist utilizes medical and surgical skills to treat their patients. They receive extensive education and training in the respiratory and upper alimentary systems, communication sciences and chemical senses.
Ears- Hearing loss affects one in ten people in the United States. Ear, nose and throat doctors are trained on the medical and surgical treatment of hearing loss, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), and some cranial nerve disorders, in addition to congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear (AAO, 2017).
Nose - Chronic sinusitis is one of the most common health complaints in the United States, with almost 35 million cases reported every year. Otolaryngologists specialize in care of the nasal cavity and sinuses, including in problems such as allergies, smell disorders, polyps and nasal obstruction due to a deviated septum (AAO, 2017).
Throat- The throat is vital for communicating (speech) and eating. Ear, nose and throat doctors have expertise in managing diseases of the throat, larynx and upper digestive tract (esophagus), including voice and swallowing disorders (AAO, 2017).
Head and neck- Sight, smell, hearing and appearance of the face are all aspects of the head and neck region. Otolaryngologists treat infections of this area as well as benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors, facial trauma and deformities of the face, including plastic and reconstructive surgery (AAO, 2017).
How to become an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor
Approximately 15 years of education and training is required to become a licensed otolaryngologist. The American Board of Otolaryngology (ABO) is the certifying organization for ear, nose and throat physicians. A medical degree and a license are required to practice otolaryngology. An otolaryngologist receives education in general medicine and specializes in the ear, nose and throat region.
An undergraduate degree is the first step in becoming an ear, nose and throat doctor. Typical majors include pre-medical, biology, anatomy, chemistry or biochemistry, although there is no specific requirement for undergraduate major. Toward the end of the undergraduate program, the student will need to take and pass the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) in order to apply for medical school. Future otolaryngologists must apply for and be accepted into an accredited medical school.
Coursework in medical school includes biological, physiological, and biochemical sciences, in addition to laboratory training and experience. Internships in clinical settings allow the future ear, nose and throat doctor to obtain education and training in the field by observing procedures such as tonsillectomies, ear tube insertions, sinus surgeries, thyroid-related surgeries or surgeries of the head or neck due to cancer (Tucker, 2017).
Following medical school, a residency program must be completed at a hospital or other medical facility. During residency, aspiring ENT’s receive hands-on experience with patients under direct supervision of licensed physicians. The residency program is specialized to focus on ear, nose and throat conditions, treatments and surgeries, and has a range of duration from 3 to 8 years. Once the residency is completed, an application for a license can be submitted to the relevant state body.
Some otolaryngologists choose to complete a fellowship after completing the residency program. A fellowship program allows the ear, nose and throat doctor to focus on a sub-specialty area of otolaryngology. There are eight sub-specialties for otolaryngology: allergy, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and back, laryngology (throat), otology/neurotology (ears, balance, tinnitus), pediatric otolaryngology (children), rhinology (nose) and sleep disorders (AAO, 2017).
Allergists provide treatment by medication, immunotherapy (allergy shots) and/or avoidance of pollen, dust, mold, food, and other sensitivities that affect the ear, nose, and throat. ENT’s specialized in allergy will treat hay fever, seasonal and perennial rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, laryngitis, sore throat, otitis media, and dizziness.
Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – The otolaryngologist performs cosmetic, functional, and reconstructive surgical treatment of abnormalities of the face and neck and ear to treat conditions such as deviated septum, rhinoplasty (nose), face lift, cleft palate, drooping eyelids, hair loss and other ear deformities.
Head and Neck specialists evaluate, diagnose and treat cancerous and noncancerous tumors in the head and neck (nose/sinuses, mouth, throat, voice box and upper esophagus), including the thyroid and parathyroid. Additional patients may include those with a lump in the neck or thyroid, or cancer of the voice box.
Laryngology - Disorders of the throat, including voice and swallowing problems are treated by an ear, nose and throat doctor specializing in laryngology. This specialized field will treat sore throat, hoarseness, swallowing disorder, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), infections and tumors.
Otology/Neurotology - Diseases of the ear, including trauma (injury), infection, benign tumors, and nerve pathway disorders, which affect hearing and balance are treated by an ENT specializing in otology and neurotology. Issues presented to this field include ear infection; swimmer’s ear; hearing loss; ear, face, or neck pain; dizziness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
Pediatric Otolaryngology is a specialized field in treating diseases in children with special ENT problems including birth defects of the head and neck and developmental delays. Diseases or disorders may include ear infection (otitis media), tonsil and adenoid infection, airway problems, asthma and allergy/sinus disease, neck tumors.
Rhinology specializes in disorders of the nose and sinuses, which includes sinus disorder, nose bleed, stuffy nose, loss of smell, polyps, tumors.
Common Conditions Treated by an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor
An otolaryngologist treats airway problems (breathing difficulties or obstructions), cancer, chronic sinusitis, cleft lip and cleft palate, deviated septum, drooping eyelids, gastrointestinal reflux, hearing loss, swallowing disorders, tinnitus, tonsil or adenoid infection, vertigo and dizziness and voice disorders, among many others.
Tracheostomy is a procedure to create an opening through the neck into the windpipe, through which a tube can be placed to provide an airway or remove secretions from the lungs (McIntosh, 2016). This may be used for emergency situations, neck cancer and neck muscle paralysis, among many other reasons.
An ear, nose and throat doctor performs biopsies and excisions on lesions and tumors to identify the presence of cancer and determine the correct treatment plan. Neck dissections are also performed to remove cancerous lymph nodes from the neck (McIntosh, 2016). Depending on the severity of the condition, neck dissection may include removal of all tissues from the jawbone to the collarbone on one side of the body, in addition to removing muscles, nerves, salivary glands and major blood vessels from this area.
Cleft lip and palate is a congenital disorder where the lip or palate does not develop correctly. A deviated septum occurs when the wall that divides the nasal cavity into two shifts to one side or the other, which typically results in breathing difficulty and chronic sinusitis. These conditions can be repaired during facial plastic or reconstructive surgery. A septoplasty is surgery that corrects deviated septum or to remove nasal polyps.
Excessive upper eyelid sagging is normal due to aging, but it can be caused by diabetes, stroke or tumors that affect nerve communication and muscle reactions. An ENT removes the excess skin, muscle, or fat tissues, which is referred to as blepharoplasty.
Hearing loss due to the build-up of fluid in the middle ear can be alleviated via a myringotomy, which is a procedure using a small incision to relieve the pressure and/or drain the fluid. Pressure equalization (PE) tubes may also be surgically implanted to allow air into the middle ear. Tympanoplasty is a procedure used to repair defects in the eardrum to improve hearing or repair damaged tissue.
Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness that involves feelings of being in motion when no motion is present. It can be caused by central nervous system disorders and inner-ear dysfunction or disease. Voice disorders may be caused by vocal cord injury, viral infections, cancer or persistent and recurring acid reflux. Symptoms of voice disorders include hoarseness, lower vocal pitch, vocal fatigue and loss of voice.
