Benefits of minimally invasive ENT surgeries
In the ENT surgical department of the K+31 clinic in Moscow, all types of operations are performed. Specialists predominantly use minimally invasive techniques to significantly reduce the operation time and the patient’s recovery period, minimizing the risk of complications.
Advantages of minimally invasive ENT surgery:
- Reducing injuries
- Pain reduction
- Absence of rough extensive postoperative scars
- Good aesthetic effect
- The risk of bleeding and infection is reduced to zero
- Reducing the patient’s inpatient stay
- Fast post-operative recovery
For operations in the nose, ear, nasopharynx, sinuses, and throat, an expert-class endoscopic system with optics is used that allows detailed visualization of the intervention site. For a detailed examination of tissues, a special ENT microscope is used.

Types of surgical techniques in the ENT industry
Modern surgical otorhinolaryngology uses both classical and modern approaches to performing operations on the ENT organs and adjacent structures. However, traditional types of open operations are used only for extensive tissue damage, massive tumor formations or a large area of spread of the pathological process.
In other cases, ENT surgeons prefer to use minimally invasive and microinvasive techniques based on the following techniques:
Depending on the type of surgery performed, different types of anesthesia are used. This may include local applications, tampons, anesthetic injections, and preoperative sedative therapy. If a long, extensive intervention is necessary, general anesthesia is prescribed.
