Throat Surgeons in Georgia
The ENT Institute offers experienced throat surgeons to provide consultations and surgical services to patients with various throat conditions or disorders. There are many reasons to see a throat surgeon, these are some examples:
Although snoring or obstructive sleep apnea may respond to non-surgical treatments, throat surgeons with ENT Institute also perform surgical treatments, including:
- Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP): surgery for treating obstructive sleep apnea. It tightens flabby tissues in the throat and palate, and expands air passages.
- Genioglossus and hyod advancement: a surgical procedure for the treatment of sleep apnea. It prevents collapse of the lower throat and pulls the tongue muscles forward, thereby opening the obstructed airway.
Throat surgeons with ENT Institute can assist patients with snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, but also with conditions affecting the tonsils or adenoids.
Tonsils are the two masses on the back of the throat. Adenoids are high in the throat behind the nose and the roof of the mouth (soft palate) and are not visible through the mouth without special instruments. The two primary reasons for tonsil and/or adenoid removal by a throat surgeon with ENT Institute are:
- Recurrent infection despite antibiotic therapy
- Difficulty breathing due to enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids.
If surgery is recommended as the best treatment in a patient's case, an ENT Institute throat surgeon will provide you with the details of pre-operative and postoperative care and answer any questions you may have.
