Removal of ENT Neoplasms

Persistent hoarseness, nasal congestion, or discomfort when swallowing that lasts more than two weeks is a reason to see an ENT doctor and undergo an examination. Such symptoms are sometimes related to tumors, cysts, polyps, and other growths of the ear, throat, and nose. Find out when surgical removal of neoplasms of the ENT organs is required, what methods are used for this, and how treatment and rehabilitation are carried out at Helyos Medical Center in Dnipro.

What neoplasms can occur in the ENT organs?

Neoplasms of the ear, throat, and nose are benign in most cases. This group includes polyps, papillomas, cysts, fibromas, and angiomas. They grow slowly and do not spread to other organs, but if large enough, they can impair functions such as breathing, voice, and swallowing.

Malignant neoplasms of the ENT organs (cancer of the larynx, pharynx, nasopharynx, and ear) are less common. The success of treating such tumors depends directly on how early the diagnosis is made.

Medical fact. According to the Merck Manual, papillomas account for about 85% of benign laryngeal tumors. Children with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis often have concomitant adenoid hypertrophy — in such cases, adenotomy is performed as part of comprehensive treatment.

Symptoms and signs of neoplasms of the ear, throat, and nose

Neoplasms of the ENT organs may not show any symptoms for a long time. Nevertheless, there are signs that call for seeing a doctor:

hoarseness or a change in voice lasting more than two weeks;
difficulty breathing through the nose or a feeling of congestion with no obvious cause;
a sensation of a foreign body or a lump in the throat;
hearing loss, ringing in the ear, or discharge from the ear canal;
pain when swallowing that is not related to an infection;
visible growths on the mucous membranes or skin of the ear, nose, or throat.

These symptoms are not specific and can occur in various ENT conditions. The exact cause is established only after an examination.

When is surgical removal required?

The decision on surgery is made individually after examination, endoscopy, and CT. Some growths require immediate removal, while the doctor monitors others over time. Surgical intervention is generally recommended if the growth is enlarging, organ function is impaired, or based on biopsy results.

If the neoplasm is located in the paranasal sinuses, at Helyos Medical Center it can be removed endoscopically — without external incisions and with a short recovery period.

Modern methods for removing ENT neoplasms

The choice of method depends on the nature, size, and location of the growth. Helyos Medical Center uses three main approaches:

surgical removal — a universal method for various locations;
laser removal — minimal bleeding and fast recovery;
endoscopic removal — precise visualization and access without incisions.

The doctor will select the optimal treatment option after examination and testing.

Diagnostics and follow-up after surgery

Endoscopy and CT are mandatory before surgery. If a malignant process is suspected, a biopsy is taken. If the CT reveals pathology of the sphenoid sinus, at Helyos Medical Center endoscopic sphenoidotomy is performed, if possible, within a single surgical intervention. After surgery, the patient undergoes follow-up examinations according to a schedule set by the doctor.

How does the surgery work?

1.Consultation and Diagnosis — The first step involves the doctor conducting an examination, using endoscopy or other imaging methods to accurately determine the type and location of the neoplasm. Additional tests such as biopsy or X-rays may be prescribed.

2.Surgery — Depending on the type of neoplasm, there are different methods of removal:

Surgical removal — a traditional surgery performed under local or general anesthesia.
Laser removal — a less invasive method that uses a laser to remove neoplasms, reducing bleeding and speeding up the healing process.
Endoscopic removal — using specialized tools and cameras, the surgeon removes the neoplasm through natural openings (nose, mouth, throat).

3.Rehabilitation — After surgery, the patient typically undergoes a rehabilitation period, which may involve the use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent infections. It is essential to follow the doctor's care instructions for wound care and avoid unnecessary strain on ENT organs.
