What we do

Procedures

Common nose and sinus procedures. Each is discussed fully at consultation, with the benefits, alternatives and risks explained before you decide.

Endoscopic sinus surgery

Day-case keyhole surgery to open blocked sinuses and remove polyps.

Septoplasty and turbinate surgery

Straightening the nasal septum and reducing swollen turbinates to improve breathing.

Septorhinoplasty

Surgery to correct breathing and the shape of the nose together.

Nasal polyps and biologic treatment

Medical and biologic therapy for nasal polyps, with surgery where needed.

Lacrimal surgery (DCR) for watery eyes

Endoscopic surgery to relieve a constantly watering eye caused by a blocked tear duct.

Tonsillectomy

Removing the tonsils for frequent or severe throat infections.

A gentle day-case procedure, done through the mouth, that smooths the surface of the tonsils so tonsil stones have nowhere to form. The tonsils are not removed, and recovery is much easier than after tonsillectomy.

Grommet (ventilation tube) insertion

A tiny tube placed in the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear.

Balloon sinuplasty of the frontal sinus

A keyhole procedure that gently widens the natural drainage channel of the frontal sinus with a small balloon. Nothing is cut away, there are no cuts on the face, and recovery is usually quick.

Adenoidectomy

Removing the adenoid tissue at the back of the nose, often for a blocked nose or glue ear.
