Procedures
Treatments & Procedures
Here are the key procedures performed by leading specialists in ENT.
Adenoidectomy
Adenoidectomy is a common surgical procedure to remove enlarged or infected adenoids, which are lymphatic tissues located at the back of the nose. Primarily performed on children, this surgery addresses issues like chronic nasal obstruction, recurrent ear infections, and sleep-disordered breathing caused by problematic adenoids. In India, experienced ENT specialists perform adenoidectomy to significantly improve a child's quality of life by restoring normal breathing and reducing infection frequency, ensuring better health outcomes.
Cochlear Implant Surgery
Cochlear implant surgery in India is widely chosen by international patients due to experienced ENT surgeons, access to advanced implant devices, structured rehabilitation programs, and significantly lower treatment costs compared to the USA, UK, and Europe. Cochlear implant surgery is recommended for children and adults with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who receive limited benefit from conventional hearing aids. The procedure involves implanting an electronic medical device that bypasses damaged structures of the inner ear and directly stimulates the auditory nerve, allowing the brain to perceive sound. In India, cochlear implant programs follow a multidisciplinary approach involving ENT surgeons, audiologists, and speech therapists to ensure optimal hearing outcomes. VRH Healthcare supports international patients by facilitating expert opinions, hospital selection, treatment planning, rehabilitation coordination, and long-term follow-up.
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) in India is a minimally invasive ENT procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and long-standing sinus blockages that do not respond to medication. The surgery is performed using a thin, lighted endoscope inserted through the nostrils, allowing the surgeon to view and access the sinus passages without external cuts. During FESS, blocked sinus openings are widened and diseased tissue or polyps are removed to restore normal sinus drainage and airflow. This helps relieve persistent symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain, headaches, recurrent infections, and reduced sense of smell. India is a preferred destination for FESS due to experienced ENT surgeons, modern endoscopic technology, and significantly lower treatment costs compared to many Western countries. VRH Healthcare assists international patients by coordinating specialist opinions, hospital selection, treatment planning, and personalised cost guidance for endoscopic sinus surgery in India.
Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery
Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery in India is a highly specialised minimally invasive procedure used to treat complex conditions affecting the base of the skull, including benign and malignant tumours, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and lesions near critical nerves and blood vessels. The skull base is a delicate anatomical area located beneath the brain and behind the eyes, making surgical access particularly challenging. Using high-definition endoscopes inserted through natural openings such as the nose or mouth, surgeons can precisely access and treat skull base abnormalities without large external incisions. This advanced approach is typically performed by a collaborative team of ENT surgeons and neurosurgeons, ensuring both safe anatomical access and protection of vital brain structures. Compared to traditional open surgery, endoscopic skull base surgery offers reduced pain, minimal scarring, lower complication rates, and faster recovery. India has emerged as a preferred destination for this procedure due to experienced multidisciplinary teams, advanced surgical technology, and significantly lower treatment costs for international patients. VRH Healthcare facilitates access to leading skull base centres in India, supporting patients from initial evaluation through post-treatment follow-up.
Laryngectomy / Pharyngectomy
Laryngectomy surgery in India is a specialised head and neck cancer procedure performed to remove part or all of the larynx (voice box) affected by throat or laryngeal cancer. In advanced cases, pharyngectomy may also be required to remove cancerous tissue from the pharynx (throat). These surgeries are often life-saving interventions aimed at complete tumour removal, achieving clear surgical margins, and preventing further spread of disease. Depending on cancer stage and tumour location, the procedure may involve partial laryngectomy, total laryngectomy, or combined laryngopharyngectomy with neck dissection. India offers advanced ENT oncology centres equipped with transoral laser microsurgery (TLM), transoral robotic surgery (TORS), and complex free-flap reconstruction for functional restoration. VRH Healthcare assists international patients in accessing experienced oncology surgeons and comprehensive cancer care planning.
Myringotomy (with PE Tube Placement)
Myringotomy with Pressure equalisation tube (tympanostomy tube) placement in India is a common ENT procedure used to treat persistent middle ear fluid (otitis media with effusion) and recurrent ear infections that can cause hearing loss, ear pressure, and speech delays in children. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the eardrum (tympanic membrane) to drain accumulated fluid from the middle ear. After fluid removal, a tiny pressure equalisation tube (PE tube), also known as an ear tube or grommet, is inserted into the eardrum. This tube allows air to enter the middle ear and prevents fluid from building up again, helping restore normal ear pressure and improve hearing. Diagnosis usually involves ENT evaluation with otoscopy, tympanometry, and hearing tests (audiometry). In children, the procedure is commonly recommended when recurrent infections or chronic fluid affect hearing and speech development. The surgery is typically performed as a short day-care procedure under general anaesthesia and takes only a few minutes to complete. India has become a preferred destination for international patients seeking ENT surgery due to experienced specialists, modern surgical facilities, and significantly lower treatment costs compared with the USA, UK, and many Middle Eastern countries. VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We act as an independent medical facilitator that helps international patients obtain expert ENT opinions, compare accredited hospitals, review medical reports, and receive transparent treatment cost guidance before travelling to India.
Septoplasty (Deviated Nasal Septum)
Septoplasty is a precise surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated nasal septum – the internal wall of bone and cartilage that naturally divides your nasal cavity into two distinct passages. When this septum is significantly off-centre, crooked, or bent, it can severely impede airflow, leading to a range of uncomfortable and often debilitating symptoms. Patients frequently experience chronic breathing difficulties through one or both nostrils, recurrent sinus infections due to poor drainage, frequent nosebleeds, and disrupted sleep patterns, including snoring or even sleep apnoea. In India, highly skilled ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) surgeons utilise advanced techniques to carefully straighten, reposition, or remove the problematic portions of the septum. The primary goal is to restore optimal nasal function, ensuring clear and unobstructed breathing, thereby significantly enhancing a patient's overall quality of life. VRH Healthcare specialises in connecting international patients with India's leading ENT specialists and state-of-the-art medical facilities for this crucial corrective surgery, guiding you through every step of your treatment journey.
Stapedectomy
Stapedectomy is a delicate ear surgery performed to improve hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, a condition where the stapes bone in the middle ear becomes fixed and cannot vibrate properly. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the hardened stapes bone and replaces it with a tiny prosthetic device, allowing sound vibrations to once again reach the inner ear effectively. This can significantly restore hearing for eligible patients, offering a long-term solution to conductive hearing loss.
Thyroidectomy (Thyroid Surgery)
Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of all or part of the thyroid gland, a vital endocrine gland located at the base of your neck. This surgery is a primary treatment option for various thyroid conditions, including thyroid cancer, large goitres causing compressive symptoms, hyperthyroidism that has not responded to other therapies, and suspicious thyroid nodules. In India, highly experienced ENT and Head & Neck surgeons utilise advanced techniques to perform thyroidectomies, focusing on patient safety and optimal outcomes. VRH Healthcare serves as your dedicated medical facilitation partner, guiding you through the process of accessing world-class thyroid surgery in India, from initial consultation to post-operative care.
Tonsillectomy
Tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils, which are lymphoid tissues located at the back of the throat. It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing recurrent tonsillitis, chronic throat infections, or breathing difficulties such as obstructive sleep apnoea caused by enlarged tonsils. The procedure helps reduce infection frequency, improve breathing, and enhance overall quality of life. In India, experienced ENT surgeons perform tonsillectomy using advanced techniques to ensure safe outcomes and faster recovery. VRH Healthcare assists international patients with expert opinions, hospital selection, and complete treatment coordination.
Trans-Oral Robotic Surgery (TORS)
Trans-Oral Robotic Surgery (TORS) is an advanced minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat tumors and complex conditions of the mouth and throat. Using robotic systems such as the da Vinci platform, surgeons operate through the mouth without external incisions, allowing precise tumor removal in difficult-to-reach areas. This approach reduces trauma, blood loss, and recovery time while preserving speech and swallowing functions. TORS is commonly used for oropharyngeal cancers, early laryngeal cancers, and selected benign conditions. In India, experienced ENT and head & neck surgeons perform TORS using advanced robotic technology, delivering safe outcomes and faster recovery. VRH Healthcare assists international patients with expert opinions, hospital selection, and seamless treatment coordination.
Tympanoplasty (Eardrum Repair)
Tympanoplasty is a precise surgical procedure designed to repair a perforated eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane. This vital structure separates the outer and middle ear, playing a crucial role in hearing. The surgery aims to close the hole in the eardrum, prevent recurrent middle ear infections, and significantly improve hearing ability. It is often recommended for chronic perforations that fail to heal naturally, or those associated with persistent ear discharge, pain, and noticeable hearing loss, offering a path to restored ear health and better auditory function.
