Advanced Ear, Nose, Sinus & Throat Surgeries by Dr. Pavan Kumar M

Throat surgeries are essential in treating conditions that affect breathing, swallowing, and speaking. Dr. Pavan Kumar M offers specialized surgical solutions for a wide range of throat-related conditions, ensuring improved functionality and patient comfort.

Types of Throat Surgeries

Tonsillectomy

One of the most common throat surgeries, especially among children. Recurrent tonsillitis, breathing issues due to enlarged tonsils, or sleep apnea often necessitate the removal of the tonsils. The procedure significantly reduces the frequency of throat infections and improves breathing during sleep.

Adenoidectomy

Often performed alongside tonsillectomy, especially in children. Enlarged adenoids can block the nasal passages, leading to chronic ear infections, breathing difficulties, and snoring. Removing the adenoids improves airflow and reduces the risk of recurrent infections.

Microlaryngeal Surgery

A highly specialized procedure used to treat vocal cord nodules, polyps, cysts, or other abnormalities that affect the voice. Using a microscope and fine instruments, Dr. Pavan carefully removes growths or corrects structural issues, restoring the patient’s voice quality without external incisions.

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)

A surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and severe snoring. It involves removing excess tissue from the throat, including parts of the uvula and soft palate, to widen the airway. This significantly improves airflow during sleep, reducing snoring and the risk of apnea episodes.

Post-operative care is crucial in throat surgeries, as the throat is a sensitive area. Dr. Pavan ensures comprehensive follow-up care, focusing on pain management, infection prevention, and functional recovery. Voice therapy and dietary modifications are often recommended during the recovery phase to ensure optimal results.
