Our Services & Specialties

ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgery is used to tackle a broad range of diseases, from a blocked airway to head and neck cancer. At the London Bridge Hospital we have specialists able to deal with all problems requiring ENT surgery. One of our particular specialities is ENT surgery to correct nocturnal airway obstruction.

Nocturnal Airway Obstruction

Using endoscopy methods, the airway of the patient can be viewed and the areas of airway obstruction and snoring generation identified. This procedure is performed under a light general anaesthetic to recreate natural sleeping as near as possible. Depending on the outcome, further treatment will be discussed with the patient.

Alternative procedures to aid sleep related breathing disorders include laser assisted palatal, tonsillar and tongue base surgery. These are usually performed under a short general anaesthetic to allow the problem area to be removed using laser surgery.
