Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgery

---

Merit Health Rankin offers a range of surgical treatments to address ear, nose and throat conditions, including minimally invasive endoscopic and robotic surgery techniques. Ear, nose and throat doctors (otolaryngologists or ENT doctors) have a broad range of experience to provide surgical treatment for everything from nasal congestion and hearing disorders to a deviated septum or broken nose.

The board-certified ENT doctors provide a range of treatment options, including:

• Hearing-loss solutions, including cochlear implants, bone conduction devices and ear-tube surgery
• Laryngeal and voice solutions
• Plastic and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck
• Skull base tumor treatment
• Sinus surgery, including laser treatments, endoscopic techniques and radiofrequency ablation
• Septoplasty
• Treatments to correct chronic snoring, sleep apnea and other related disorders
• Turbinate surgery

We are committed to providing patients with minimally invasive techniques, such as:

• Balloon dilation surgery - In this procedure, small, flexible devices are inserted into the nostrils to gently open blocked sinus openings to alleviate symptoms of chronic sinusitis. This technique results in less bleeding, a quicker recovery and does not limit further treatment options.
