What is ENT, Head & Neck Surgery?
ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) medicine, also called Otolaryngology, is a surgical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck regions. This comprehensive field addresses everything from common conditions like ear infections and tonsillitis to complex disorders involving sleep apnea, chronic sinusitis, hearing loss, voice problems, and thyroid diseases.
Modern ENT practice has evolved dramatically with technological advances including flexible nasoendoscopy for detailed visualization without discomfort, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) offering minimally invasive sinus treatment, coblation technology enabling bloodless tonsil removal with faster recovery, microscopic ear surgery restoring hearing with precision, and microwave thyroid ablation providing scarless thyroid treatment alternatives.
At Healing Hospital, Dr. Mittal approaches every condition—whether common or complex—with thorough evaluation, evidence-based treatment, and commitment to restoring your optimal function and quality of life.

Comprehensive ENT, Head, & Neck Services We Offer At Healing Hospital in Chandigarh
Sleep Disorder Treatments
Comprehensive Sleep Study (Polysomnography) forms the foundation of accurate diagnosis. For patients requiring intervention, Surgical Treatment for Sleep Apnea & Snoring employs multilevel surgical approaches addressing airway obstruction sites. Understanding that not all patients tolerate or prefer CPAP therapy, we offer CPAP Alternatives & Oral Appliance Therapy including custom oral appliances repositioning jaw and tongue to maintain airway openness, lifestyle modification guidance, and positional therapy.
Advanced Sinus Treatments
FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery), Balloon Sinuplasty, Septoplasty &Turbinate Reduction, & Nasal Polypectomy corrects nasal obstruction, sinus infections, persistent postnasal drainage, loss of smell, addresses underlying inflammation, and reduces polyp recurrence.
Tonsil & Adenoid Procedures
Coblation Tonsillectomy utilizes advanced radiofrequency technology removing tonsils with minimal bleeding. Adenoidectomy addresses enlarged adenoids obstructing nasal breathing, causing recurrent ear or sinus infections. Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy (T&A) combines removal of both obstructive tonsils and adenoids in a single procedure.
Ear Surgery & Hearing Restoration
Microscopic Ear Surgery (Tympanoplasty) repairs perforated eardrums, restoring hearing and preventing recurrent infections.Eustachian Tube Balloon Dilation offers a minimally invasive solution using a small balloon catheter to gently open and dilate the blocked eustachian tube, restoring normal pressure. Mastoidectomy involves surgical intervention to treat chronic ear infections. Myringotomy & Grommet Insertion creates small incisions in eardrum with placement of ventilation tube (grommet) draining persistent middle ear fluid causing hearing loss and recurrent infections. Stapedectomy provides delicate surgery replacing diseased stapes bone in middle ear, providing improvement in hearing.
Voice & Laryngeal Surgery
Microscopic Voice Surgery (Microlaryngoscopy) provides precise surgical treatment of vocal cord lesions including polyps, nodules, cysts, and early cancers preserving vocal quality while removing diseased tissue. For vocal cord paralysis or weakness, Vocal Cord Injection & Medialization treats conditions causing breathy voice and swallowing difficulties.
Thyroid Surgery
Microwave Thyroid Ablation (Scarless Thyroid Treatment) represents a revolutionary minimally invasive procedure treating benign thyroid nodules without surgery through ultrasound-guided microwave energy ablating nodule tissue while preserving healthy thyroid function—benefits include no visible scar, faster recovery, and an outpatient procedure avoiding hospitalization. Thyroidectomy addresses thyroid cancer, large goiters, or suspicious nodules through meticulous thyroidectomy whenever necessary.
Our Top Diagnostic Procedures
Our comprehensive diagnostic capabilities ensure accurate diagnosis through state-of-the-art evaluation techniques:
Flexible Nasoendoscopy
Advanced diagnostic technique using thin, flexible endoscope examining nasal passages, sinuses, throat, and voice box without discomfort.
Polysomnography (Sleep Study)
Comprehensive overnight sleep monitoring recording brain waves, oxygen levels, heart rate, breathing patterns, eye and leg movements to accurately diagnose sleep apnea, snoring disorders, and other sleep-related breathing conditions
Pure Tone Audiometry (Hearing Test)
Standard hearing evaluation measures hearing sensitivity across different frequencies and volumes, identifying type, degree, and pattern of hearing loss to determine appropriate treatment whether medical, surgical, or hearing aid amplification.
Tympanometry & Acoustic Reflex Testing
Objective tests measuring eardrum movement and middle ear function to diagnose fluid behind eardrum, eustachian tube dysfunction, or ossicular chain problems affecting hearing.
Speech Audiometry
Specialized hearing test measuring speech recognition and discrimination abilities, assessing how well you understand words at various volumes, crucial for determining hearing aid benefit.
Allergy Testing (Skin Prick/Blood Tests)
When allergies contribute to sinus or nasal symptoms, we perform comprehensive allergy evaluation identifying specific triggers enabling targeted treatment with allergen avoidance, medications, or immunotherapy.
Flexible Laryngoscopy
Advanced voice assessment using strobe light technology to visualize vocal cord vibration patterns in slow motion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Which is the best ENT hospital near me?
Healing Hospital is recognized as the leading ENT, Head & Neck Surgery center in Chandigarh offering comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for all ear, nose, throat, and sleep disorders.
What makes your sleep apnea treatment different from other centers?
Dr. Mittal is a distinguished sleep specialist offering comprehensive care rarely available elsewhere—complete evaluation under one roof including clinical assessment, in-house sleep studies, detailed analysis, and full spectrum of treatment options from CPAP alternatives to advanced multilevel surgery. We customize treatment based on your specific anatomy, severity, and preferences rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.
Do I need a sleep study for snoring treatment?
Not all snoring requires sleep study, but if your snoring is loud, disruptive, associated with witnessed breathing pauses, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, or difficulty concentrating, underlying sleep apnea is likely and sleep study is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
How long does FESS sinus surgery recovery take?
Most patients return to desk work within a week after FESS. Nasal congestion and mild discomfort are common initially, but significant improvement is typically noticed within 2-3 weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 2-3 weeks.
Is coblation tonsillectomy really less painful than traditional surgery?
Yes, coblation technology uses controlled radiofrequency energy removing tonsils with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissue, resulting in significantly less post-operative pain, reduced bleeding risk, and faster recovery compared to traditional electrocautery methods.
What is microwave thyroid ablation?
Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive procedure using ultrasound-guided microwave energy to shrink benign thyroid nodules without surgery, leaving no scar and preserving thyroid function. Ideal candidates have benign nodules confirmed by biopsy, nodules causing discomfort or cosmetic concerns, desire to avoid surgical scar, and wish to preserve thyroid function.
How is flexible nasoendoscopy performed?
Flexible nasoendoscopy is a simple in-office diagnostic procedure where a thin, flexible scope is gently passed through the nose to visualize nasal passages, sinuses, throat, and voice box in real-time. The procedure uses topical anesthetic spray for comfort and takes only a few minutes, providing immediate visualization guiding accurate diagnosis without any preparation or recovery time needed.
Does insurance cover ENT procedures?
Most ENT procedures addressing medical conditions (chronic sinusitis, sleep apnea, hearing loss, recurrent infections) are covered by insurance with proper documentation. Purely cosmetic procedures may not be covered. Our staff assists with insurance verification, pre-authorization, and documentation ensuring smooth processing. We provide transparent cost information regardless of coverage.
