Ear, Nose and Throat
Istanbul
Ear, Nose and Throat care in Istanbul is available at 8 hospitals in the Voumed network, with 2 related treatments.
Ear, nose and throat care, also called otolaryngology or ENT, is the medical and surgical specialty for the ears, nose, sinuses, throat and the structures of the head and neck. It looks after the senses of hearing, balance, smell and taste, together with breathing, the voice and swallowing, treating everything from blocked sinuses, ear infections and dizziness to hearing loss, snoring, voice problems and tumours of the head and neck. It also includes the structural side of nasal aesthetics, where appearance and breathing are improved together. Patients travel abroad for ENT care because it brings together experienced surgeons, endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques, and the chance to resolve a long standing problem such as chronic sinusitis or a blocked nose in a single focused visit. Because these structures sit close together and affect daily comfort, the goal is to protect and restore breathing, hearing, voice and quality of life.

Procedures
Technologies and equipment
Plasma Tonsil Treatment
Plasma technology is a low-temperature, minimally invasive method for treating enlarged tonsils, the two soft-tissue pads at the back of the throat that can block breathing and cause repeated infections. Rather than cutting with heat at high temperature, it uses controlled radiofrequency energy to break down tissue gently, so the tonsils can be reduced or removed precisely with very little bleeding. Because it works at a much lower temperature than older electrical methods, it tends to cause less damage to the surrounding throat, which usually means less pain and a quicker recovery, an advantage that is especially welcome in children.
Plasma Adenoid Treatment
Plasma technology is a modern, gentle method for removing enlarged adenoids, the patch of tissue behind the nose that can block breathing and cause repeated infections in children. Instead of scraping the tissue away blindly, as in older techniques, it uses controlled radiofrequency energy to vaporise the adenoid precisely while the surgeon watches the area directly. The energy works at relatively low temperature and seals small vessels as it goes, so bleeding is minimal. For children, this usually means a short, comfortable procedure with little pain and a quick return to normal life.
