sinus endoscopy

A thin telescope (endoscope) with a camera and TV screen is used to look painlessly inside your nose and sinus drainage pathways.

Small polyps can be removed from inside
the nose using the latest, specially designed,

cautery for nose bleeds

Small blood vessels can be sealed painlessly
in the front and back of the nose.

We use chemical cautery applied gently from
the tip of a thin “stick” like a cotton bud.

removal of small nasal and facial skin growths

Small cancerous and non-cancerous growths
can be removed with plastic surgery to
minimise scarring.

We use the somnoplasty technique.
