The Sinus Doctor

We at Dr. Rao's ENT Hospitals are thrilled to kick off the new year by holding our 127th hands-on training program for ENT surgeons from all over India. This time, we put a special focus on using advanced equipment such as navigation systems and lasers in sinus and micro ear surgeries, and also provided special training for cochlear implants. It's always a pleasure to provide our attendees with the opportunity to improve their skills and deliver the best care for their patients.

SinusDoctor, Dr. Chaitanya Rao, an accomplished sinus specialist, recently held a hands-on training program for ear, nose, and throat surgeons. The aim of the program was to equip these surgeons with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out complex sinus surgeries efficiently and effectively.

Throughout the training, Dr. Chaitanya Rao provided comprehensive instruction on various techniques and procedures, including the latest developments in surgical equipment and methods. The training was practical, with the surgeons participating in simulated surgeries and working closely with Dr. Chaitanya Rao to gain a thorough understanding of the procedures.

Aside from providing instruction on surgical techniques, Dr. Chaitanya Rao also showed the surgeons the use of advanced equipment for ENT surgery, giving them the opportunity to see firsthand how these tools can enhance the precision and accuracy of their surgeries, resulting in better patient outcomes. The program was a great success, with the surgeons praising Dr. Chaitanya Rao's expertise and the invaluable information they acquired. They left the program with a deeper understanding of how to perform sinus surgeries, and how the use of advanced equipment can make a difference in their day-to-day practice. Dr. Chaitanya Rao's training program is a testament to his commitment to advancing the field of ENT surgery and improving patient outcomes.

Such training and demonstration of advanced equipment will help the ENT community to be more informed and lead to better patient care.

Enlarged Turbinate or Turbinate Hypertrophy is generally induced when the lining of the skin covering the turbinate bone turns enlarged or swollen. The nasal cavity contains four sets of turbinates namely the Supreme, Superior, Middle and Inferior. If any of these four turbinates become enlarged, then breathing gets tough.

The symptoms of Enlarged Turbinates can briefly be outlined as -

Troubled breathing
Constant nasal congestion
Stuffy nose
Nasal blockage
Loud breathing
Breathing through the mouth
Heightened nasal drainage
Noisy snoring
Nosebleeds
Repeated sinus infection
Dry mouth
Change in sense of smell
Mild facial pain
Forehead pressure

Seek a thorough consultation from an ENT specialist to improve your health.

Nasal hair keeps harmful debris and dust out of our lungs and helps maintain moisture in our airways. For people with allergies and asthma, nasal hair is especially important as it prevents allergens such as pollen from entering into our system. In most cases, trimming nasal hair is safe if done carefully and without overdoing it. If not done right, nasal hair removal comes with the following risks -
1. Damage to nasal passage
2. Dryness and damage to mucous membranes
3. Increased risk of infection
4. Rupture of nasal blood vessels if tweezers are used improperly

Sinus headaches often occur due to a sinus infection. A person may feel sinus pain in their cheeks, the bridge of the nose, the area above the nose, or the crown of the head. The pain may occur on both sides, or just one side, depending on the cause. Treatment depends on the cause, but people can usually manage sinus headaches at home using over-the-counter medications, prescription treatments, or medical intervention from a specialist.

70% of sinus cases are mismanaged, which can lead to more complications. Although uncomfortable and painful, sinusitis often goes away without medical intervention. However, if symptoms are severe and persistent, a person should consult their doctor.
