3rd International Conference on ENT: Head and Neck Surgery

Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology and ENT focuses on diagnosing and treating ear, nose, and throat (ENT) conditions in children. This specialty addresses a range of issues, including recurrent ear infections, hearing loss, sinusitis, and obstructive sleep apnea. Pediatric ENT specialists manage congenital conditions like cleft palate and laryngeal abnormalities, as well as acquired conditions such as tonsillitis and adenoid hypertrophy. They use child-friendly diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to ensure effective treatment while minimizing stress for young patients. This field aims to support healthy development and improve the quality of life for children with ENT disorders.

Adenoidectomy: Surgical removal of the adenoids, often to treat chronic infections or breathing issues in children, improving nasal airflow and reducing recurrent infections.

Decannulation: The process of removing a tracheostomy tube once the airway is sufficiently healed and stable, allowing the patient to breathe normally without the tube.

Reconstruction of the Larynx: Surgical procedures to repair or reconstruct the larynx (voice box) after injury or disease, restoring voice function and airway passage.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): A condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing breathing pauses. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, or surgery to alleviate the obstruction.

Pediatric Otology: Focuses on diagnosing and treating ear disorders in children, such as hearing loss, ear infections, and congenital abnormalities.

Rhinology and Sinus Surgery: Addresses disorders of the nasal passages and sinuses, including chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and structural abnormalities, often involving endoscopic techniques for improved breathing and sinus health.

 
Swallowing Disorders: Conditions affecting the ability to swallow, which can lead to choking, aspiration, and malnutrition. Treatment may include dietary modifications, therapy, or surgical interventions to improve swallowing function.
