  • Airway reconstruction - Surgical procedure involving the airway, the area from the top of the voice box to the trachea, is repaired in order to restore natural breathing. Airway reconstruction procedures fall under two main categories: open airway and endoscopic procedures. Whereas open airway procedures are made with a neck incision into the airway, endoscopic procedures are performed through the mouth sans neck incision.
  • Tonsillectomy - Surgery to remove the tonsils due to recurring infection, enlargement or unresponsive medical treatment.
  • Adenoidectomy - A surgical procedure performed to remove the enlarged or chronically infected adenoids  the lump of tissue that sits high on each side of the throat behind the nose and the roof of the mouth.
  • Pressure equalization tube placement - A procedure that involves the creation of a small hole in the eardrum called a myringotomy. A small tube called the tympanostomy tube is gently placed through the myringotomy, preventing the formation of mucus in the ear.
  • Laryngoscopy - An examination procedure that uses a special telescope called the laryngoscope to examine the larynx (voice box).
