When Should You Consult our ENT Specialists?

If you experience any suspicious symptoms such as the following, consult our ENT experts without delay.

Paediatric ENT Care

Advanced Diagnostics

Our specialists perform ear, nose and throat endoscopies which enable them to view the organs’ inner structures using state-of-the-art equipment. We also perform X-rays to diagnose sinusitis and adenoid problems.

Experts in Nasal Procedures

Septoplasty

The septum is a structure made of cartilage and bone, which divides the inner part of the nose into two chambers, or nostrils. When the septum is crooked or bent, it is considered to be deviated. It can affect or block the airflow in one or both nostrils. You may be born with a deviated septum or it may be caused by an injury.

Our ENT specialists treat a deviated septum through septoplasty, a minimally-invasive procedure. We may also recommend it for removing nasal polyps, treating chronic sinusitis or nosebleeds, and correcting other conditions that block your nasal airways. Trust our ENT experts to deliver the best outcome and ensure that you breathe easy.

Coblation Turbinoplasty

Your nasal passages have a shell-shaped network of bones and tissues, called turbinates. Sometimes, they can swell, enlarge, or become displaced, causing a blocked nose, difficulty breathing, snoring, and recurrent sinus trouble.

The solution is coblationturbinoplasty, a procedure that reduces the size of the turbinates. It offers a better outcome and promotes faster recovery with lesser pain, when compared to traditional turbinoplasty.

FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)

Many suffer from chronic sinusitis that affects their quality of life. Some may also develop sinus polyps or have difficulty breathing because of abnormalities in the sinus cavities. These can be effectively treated through FESS. During this minimally-invasive procedure, our ENT specialists identify sinus abnormalities and reposition or remove them with the highest precision through the use of state-of-the-art instruments. This will help the sinuses to drain more naturally. It is an effective solution for sinusitis.

Cutting-edge Equipment

Mobile Endoscopy System

This portable system is designed for diagnostic procedures, but can also be used in the procedure room during emergencies. The endoscope has a diameter of only 4mm for easy access to the inner structures of the ear, nose and throat. The advanced diagnostic technology offers our ENT specialists a wider field-of-view, with a higher imaging resolution and clarity. It also allows instant viewing of the organ structures. This ensures greater accuracy in diagnosis.

Procedure Room

The Department of ENT at MIOT (Seychelles) Medical has a special procedure room where nasal procedures are carried out in a setting that puts patients at ease. It has a range of advanced equipment and facilities, such as the following.

ENT Endoscopy System

This state-of-the-art system delivers better imaging resolution and clarity. It enables procedures to be performed with greater precision.

Microdebrider

This advanced equipment is designed for simultaneous cutting and suction during nasal procedures. It enables them to be performed with higher precision and lesser risk of bleeding in a shorter duration of time.

Coblation Surgery System

This state-of-the-art system performs simultaneous cutting, ablation, coagulation, irrigation, and suction during nasal procedures. It allows better visualisation of structures and tissues, with minimal risk of bleeding or damage to the surrounding tissue.

Electrosurgical System

Our cutting-edge electrosurgical system promotes higher precision and enhances patient safety.

High-flow Suction Machine

This machine drains excess fluid from the site where the procedure is performed. It promotes better visualisation of tissues and higher accuracy, leading to enhanced outcomes.

Anaesthesia Workstation

Our advanced anaesthesia workstation is designed to administer a controlled dose of anaesthesia, based on the patient’s physique. It will auto-adjust the dose if necessary. The aim is to ensure a shorter weaning period and maximum patient comfort after they regain consciousness.
