OSA is a sleep disorder where the airway repeatedly becomes blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. Symptoms include loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and poor sleep quality. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, or surgery to improve airflow and breathing.

Adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove enlarged or infected adenoids, which can cause breathing difficulties, recurrent infections, and sleep issues. It is commonly performed in children to improve airflow, reduce snoring, and prevent ear or sinus infections for better overall health.

A deviated nasal septum occurs when the thin wall dividing the nasal passages is off-center, causing breathing difficulties, congestion, or snoring. It can be present from birth or result from injury. Treatment options range from medications to surgery for improved airflow.

Otosclerosis is a condition where abnormal bone growth in the middle ear stiffens the stapes bone, leading to gradual hearing loss. It can cause difficulty hearing low sounds and speech. Treatment includes hearing aids or surgery, such as stapedectomy, to restore hearing.

Hoarseness causes a rough, weak, or strained voice due to vocal strain, infections, acid reflux, or other conditions. Treatment includes rest, hydration, and medications. In severe cases, surgery like vocal cord microsurgery or polyp removal may be needed to restore normal voice function.

Micro laryngeal surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove vocal cord polyps, nodules, cysts, or other abnormalities. Performed with a microscope and fine instruments, it helps restore voice quality and breathing, often recommended for persistent hoarseness or vocal cord disorders.

Nasal polyps are soft, noncancerous growths in the nasal passages or sinuses, often caused by chronic inflammation. They can lead to congestion, breathing difficulties, and loss of smell. Proper management and treatment can help improve nasal health and overall breathing comfort.

Thyroid surgery, or thyroidectomy, involves removing part or all of the thyroid gland to treat conditions like thyroid nodules, goiter, or an overactive thyroid. It helps restore normal function and relieve symptoms such as breathing or swallowing difficulties. Post-surgery, hormone therapy may be required.
