Adenoidectomy is the surgical procedure involving the surgical removal of the adenoids. Adenoids are lymphoid tissue located at the rear portion of the nose. Although the tissue composition of adenoids is the same as that of the tonsils, the diseases associated with infected adenoids differ from the diseases associated with infected tonsils, based on their location.

The ear, nose, and throat specialist will prescribe many medications (antibiotics, decongestants, nasal steroid sprays, antihistamines) and procedures (flushing) for treating acute sinusitis. There are occasions when physician and patient find that the infections are recurrent and/or non-responsive to the medication. When this occurs, surgery to enlarge the openings that drain the sinuses is an option. The Caldwell LUC is a procedure which relieves chronic sinusitis by improving the drainage of the maxillary sinus, which is entered through the upper jaw above one of the second molar teeth. An opening is created to connect the maxillary sinus with the nose, thus improving drainage

Although infrequently performed and to a greater extent, replaced by endoscopic maxillary sinus surgery, the Caldwell-Luc procedure is still useful in gaining access to the maxillary sinus.

Direct laryngoscopy is a procedure in which the doctor uses a fiber-optic scope to see deeper into the throat than during indirect laryngoscopy. The laryngoscope is either flexible or rigid. Fiber-optic scopes provide better views and are better tolerated than older, rigid scopes. Laryngoscopy is used to examine and diagnose problems inside the throat. It is most often performed for the following reasons:
• To diagnose the cause of a persistent cough, hoarseness, or bad breath
• To visualize a mass in the throat or neck
• To evaluate reasons for difficulty swallowing
• To remove a foreign object
• To diagnose suspected cancer
• To evaluate a possible cause for persistent earache

Fess is a procedure wherein a thin rigid optical telescope, called an endoscope, is used through the nose to view the nasal cavity and sinuses. The procedure permits direct visualization of the maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses and diseased or obstructive tissue can be removed if necessary.

A laryngectomy is the partial or complete surgical removal of the voice box (larynx).

Mastoid air cells are open, air-containing spaces in the skull, behind the ear. A mastoidectomy is the surgical removal of these mastoid air cells.

The surgery used to be a common way to treat an infection in the mastoid air cells, which usually came from an ear infection that spread to the nearby bone in the skull. Mastoidectomy is now seldom needed, as the infections are commonly treated with antibiotics. However, this surgery may be used to treat other problems such as cholesteatoma, complications of otitis media, or used as a surgical approach for cochlear implant insertion.

Maxillectomy is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the upper jaw is removed. This can involve both sides of the face or just one side. Up to one half of the upper jaw can be removed.

Maxillectomy is most commonly undertaken for the treatment of benign or malignant tumors affecting the upper jaw.

Microlaryngoscopy is a procedure that enables the doctor to look into the vocal folds of the patient in great detail with magnification. The magnification may be with a microscope, endoscope or by video enlargement. It is often accompanied by some additional procedure such as removal of a mass, swelling or tumor. Long delicate instruments or a laser may be utilized.

Myringotomy is the incision and drainage (I&D) procedure for acute otitis media. In this procedure, the tympanic membrane (TM) is incised with a knife, which allows a fluid-filled middle ear to drain to the ear canal and the exterior. Depending upon the size of the hole and the method used to create it, the TM usually returns to normal within days to a few weeks.

Unfortunately, there may be a time when medical therapy (antibiotics) fails to resolve the chronic tonsillar infections that affect your child. In other cases, your child may have enlarged tonsils, causing loud snoring, upper airway obstruction, and other sleep disorders. The best recourse for both these conditions may be removal or reduction of the tonsils and adenoids.
