Sydney ENT, Nose and Sinus Conditions & Treatments

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to straighten a deviated nasal septum — the wall inside the nose that divides the two nostrils. When the septum is crooked, it can block airflow and cause problems such as nasal blockage, snoring, or frequent sinus infections. Septoplasty gently repositions and reshapes the septum to improve breathing and relieve symptoms. At Sydney Adult & Children’s ENT Centre, our surgeons perform this procedure with care to help patients breathe more easily and enjoy better quality of life.

Turbinate reduction is a procedure to shrink or reshape the turbinates , a small structures inside the nose that can become swollen and block airflow. Enlarged turbinates often cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, snoring, or a blocked nose that doesn’t improve with medication. At Sydney Adult & Children’s ENT Centre, our surgeons perform turbinate reduction using gentle techniques to clear the nasal passages, improve airflow, and help patients breathe more comfortably day and night.

Endoscopic sinus surgery is minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis, a condition where the sinuses stay blocked or infected despite medications. At Sydney Adult & Children’s ENT Centre, our specialists offer this advanced treatment to gently clear blocked sinuses, remove polyps if present, and restore normal drainage. The surgery is performed using a thin camera and delicate instruments through the nostrils, so there are no external cuts. This approach helps reduce symptoms such as congestion, facial pressure, and recurring infections, allowing patients to breathe more easily.

Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that can develop inside the nose or sinuses. They often cause symptoms such as a blocked or stuffy nose, reduced sense of smell, snoring, or frequent sinus infections. While medications like sprays or tablets may help shrink smaller polyps, larger ones often need to be removed surgically to clear the nasal passages. At Sydney Adult & Children’s ENT Centre, our specialists provide careful assessment and treatment to relieve symptoms, improve breathing, and reduce the chance of polyps returning.

Adenoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the adenoids, which are small glands located at the back of the nose. In some children, the adenoids can become enlarged and cause problems such as persistent nasal blockage, mouth breathing, snoring, sleep disturbance, or frequent ear and sinus infections. When these symptoms affect breathing, sleep, or overall wellbeing, removal of the adenoids may be recommended. At Sydney Adult & Children’s ENT Centre, our surgeons perform adenoidectomy with safe, modern techniques to relieve symptoms, improve airflow through the nose, and support better sleep and ear health.
