Treatment Index

Accepted Treatments — A-Z Index

Six pillars (nose & sinus, head & neck oncology, ENT general, laryngology, otology, thyroid endocrine), 40+ sub-procedures, ENT emergencies, pediatric treatments, and the full index of 70+ in-depth blog articles. If your procedure is not on this page, please reach out to the coordinator.

Which procedures and conditions are treated?

The treatment spectrum is organised around six pillars: (1) Nose and sinus surgery (functional rhinoplasty, septoplasty, FESS, revision). (2) Head & neck oncology (lip, floor-of-mouth, HPV+ oropharynx, larynx, thyroid, parotid, neck dissection, multidisciplinary tumor board). (3) ENT general (tonsil, adenoid, sleep apnea, hoarseness). (4) Laryngology (vocal-fold lesion, voice surgery, LPR). (5) Otology (otitis media, cholesteatoma, cochlear implant, vertigo, facial palsy). (6) Thyroid and endocrine surgery (thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy, papillary microcarcinoma active surveillance). ENT emergencies (epistaxis, foreign body, laryngeal edema, orbital complication, temporal-bone trauma, sudden hearing loss) are assessed within hours. Pediatric cases start from age 3. The list is expanded on this page; all procedures are reachable from /hizmetler, all articles from /blog.

Full procedure list available on /hizmetler; each procedure is reachable from its pillar page. The list is updated continuously; if the procedure you need is not listed, please contact the coordinator.

ENT emergencies — assessment needed within hours

Epistaxis (nosebleed) — uncontrolled: 20+ minutes ongoing, bilateral, with hypotension. If anterior packing fails, posterior packing or surgical coagulation (sphenopalatine artery ligation).

Foreign body — ear / nose / airway: children at risk of beads / toy parts / button battery ingestion. Battery and magnet ingestion are emergencies — must be removed within hours (mucosal burn, perforation risk).

Acute laryngeal edema / angioedema — airway compromise: hoarseness + stridor + dyspnea. Anaphylactic or infectious (epiglottitis, deep neck abscess). Emergency airway — intubation or emergency tracheotomy may be needed.

Orbital complication (sinusitis-related): proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, sudden visual loss — orbital cellulitis / abscess can develop from ethmoiditis or frontal sinusitis. Surgical drainage decision within 12-24 hours.

Temporal bone trauma — after head trauma: hearing loss + facial palsy + CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) otorrhea. Temporal-bone fracture and facial-nerve integrity assessment is urgent — CT + ENG / neurology consult.

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss: steroid treatment should start within 72 hours; delayed treatment risks permanent hearing loss. Urgent audiological workup.

Emergency triage: the coordinator line is open 24/7. In emergencies you are first directed to the nearest emergency department in your country — we plan the next steps from there. Detail: /vaka-akisi-sureci step 1 emergency triage.

Pediatric treatments — children ENT surgery

Adenoid surgery: most common pediatric ENT procedure ages 3-10. Indications: recurrent upper respiratory infection, mouth breathing, snoring, sleep apnea. Detailed blog: cocuklarda-geniz-eti-ameliyati.

Tonsillectomy: minimum age 3, average 5-8 years. Indications: 5+ tonsillitis episodes per year, peritonsillar abscess, sleep apnea. Modern techniques (coblation, laser) provide less pain + faster recovery. Detailed blog: cocuklarda-tonsil-ameliyati-endikasyon.

Choanal atresia repair (congenital nasal passage closure): bilateral choanal atresia is a neonatal emergency (feeding + breathing). Unilateral is an elective endoscopic repair around 1-2 years of age.

Lip tie / frenulum surgery (ankyloglossia): for children with feeding difficulty, speech delay, restricted lateral lip motion. Laser or scissor technique — best in most cases between 6 months and 2 years.

Pediatric otitis media treatment: most common 6 months to 3 years. Recurrent acute otitis media → ventilation tube (ear tube) placement. Detailed blog: cocuklarda-otitis-media-kulak-iltihabi.

Pediatric hearing-loss workup: newborn screening, unilateral hearing loss (new page), early cochlear implant candidacy (12-24 months critical window). Detailed blog: tek-tarafli-isitme-kaybi-pediatrik.

Cleft lip / palate early surgery: lip 3-6 months, palate 9-18 months. Multidisciplinary team: plastic surgery, ENT, orthodontics, speech therapy, feeding specialist. Detailed blog: dudak-damak-yarigi-erken-cerrahi.

Pediatric anaesthesia differences: pediatric anaesthesiologist required, pediatric dosing, parent-present induction (parent stays until induction), parent at bedside in recovery. JCI-accredited hospital standard.

Oncologic treatments — head & neck cancer spectrum

Lip cancer: typically squamous cell, more common on lower lip (UV exposure). Early stage: wide excision + lip reconstruction. Detailed blog: dudak-kanseri-erken-tani.

Floor-of-mouth cancer: often near mandible — early stage: partial mandibulectomy + neck dissection + radial forearm free-flap reconstruction. Detailed blog: agiz-tabani-kanseri-cerrahi.

Oropharyngeal cancer (HPV+): increasing incidence over the last decade. HPV+ tumors have better prognosis; TORS (transoral robotic surgery) is preferred. NCCN-guided multidisciplinary tumor-board decision. Detailed blogs: orofarinks-kanseri-hpv-prognoz, hpv-ve-bas-boyun-kanseri.

Laryngeal cancer: early stage (T1/T2) — laser microsurgery (TLM) or single-dose radiotherapy, voice-preserving. Advanced stage (T3/T4) — total or partial laryngectomy + neck dissection. Detailed blogs: larinks-kanseri-erken-tani, sigara-larenks-iliskisi.

Thyroid cancer: papillary (most common, good prognosis), follicular, medullary, anaplastic. Standard: total thyroidectomy ± neck dissection ± radioactive iodine. Active surveillance option for low-risk microcarcinoma. Detailed blog: tiroid-papiller-mikrokarsinom-aktif-izlem.

Parotid gland tumors: 80% benign (pleomorphic adenoma), 20% malignant. Superficial parotidectomy (facial-nerve preserving) standard. Malignant cases: total parotidectomy + neck dissection + adjuvant radiotherapy. Detailed blog: parotis-bezi-tumorleri.

Neck dissection: selective (levels I-III or II-IV — depending on tumor location), modified radical (levels I-V, nerve-sparing), radical (sacrifices nerve + vein + sternocleidomastoid). Detailed blogs: boyun-disseksiyonu-rehberi, boyun-spinal-aksesuar-sinir-koruyucu.

Tumor board: every oncologic case is presented to the multidisciplinary team — ENT, medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology, plastic surgery. Hub page: /multidisipliner-tumor-konseyi.

Radiotherapy side-effect management: mucositis, xerostomia, trismus, fibrosis — supportive care protocols. Detailed blog: bas-boyun-radyoterapi-yan-etkileri-yonetimi.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The index is updated continuously, but it is impossible to list every individual case need on a single page. Message the coordinator on WhatsApp with the procedure name — if it falls within ENT / head & neck scope you receive a detailed reply; if it is outside scope you are referred to an appropriate Turkish center (e.g. general surgery, neurosurgery, plastic reconstructive surgery).
