Common ENT procedures

ENT doctors are trained in otolaryngology—the medical and surgical management of various ENT conditions. Here are some of the most common ENT procedures Dr. Montag and his team perform at CMH:

• Ear surgeries such as mastoidectomy, which removes infected mastoid air cells from the skull; stapedectomy, which improves progressive hearing loss; tympanoplasty, which treats perforated eardrums, improves hearing, and treats disease; and ventilating tube management, which keeps infection-causing fluids from affecting the eardrum
• Nasal endoscopy, an outpatient procedure that explores the inside of the nose and sinuses to identify structural abnormalities, swollen areas, and infections
• Tonsillectomy, a form of surgery where the tonsils are removed due to severe tonsillitis or related complications
