What are the risks of not treating them properly and when is ENT surgery necessary?

Winter is a reason for attention to respiratory diseases. In the cold, people tend to stay indoors, which makes air circulation difficult and favors the proliferation of viruses and bacteria. “With the arrival of winter, diseases such as sinusitis, rhinitis, otitis, laryngitis and others become more recurrent and care must be redoubled”, explains Dr. Fernão Bevilacqua, Otorhinolaryngologist at Hospital Albert Sabin (HAS).

For better prevention of common cold diseases, it is important to adopt some habits such as:

• Keeping vaccines up to date;
• Drink plenty of fluids;
• Keep the environments ventilated;
• Eat a varied and healthy diet;
• Avoid contact with sick people.

Otorhinolaryngological surgeries, on the other hand, consist of approaches in these regions for the treatment of acute, chronic and recurrent infections, cases of nasal obstruction, snoring, obstructive sleep apnea and tumors.

“With the help of new technologies, such as endoscopic surgeries, for example, the otorhinolaryngologist is also able to perform surgery to access lesions and disorders of the skull base, as well as rehabilitate hearing loss through the bionic ear”, says Dr. Bevilacqua.

The most commonly performed ENT surgeries are:

• Septoplasty – consists of the surgical approach of the nasal septum to correct deviations in the cartilaginous and bony portions, to improve nasal potency. It is performed inside the nose, and the aid of the endoscope may be necessary;
• Turbinectomy – usually performed together with septoplasty, it is used for the treatment of inferior turbinates;
• Tonsillectomy – means the removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy) and/or the adenoid (adenoidectomy).

The main complication associated with these surgeries is nasal and oral bleeding. “The blood supply to these regions comes from large vessels, so hemorrhagic conditions can be serious, and it is very important to carefully follow the postoperative care”, warns the doctor from the HAS. 

The average recovery time is usually approximately two weeks, however, for the return to more intense physical activities, this period can reach 30 days.

“It is important to emphasize that otorhinolaryngological surgeries can bring significant improvements in the patient’s quality of life, however, postoperative care and follow-up of the treatment of chronic diseases are essential for surgical success. In addition, it is extremely essential to raise awareness, in the entire population, of the importance of daily nasal washing for the maintenance of good health”, concludes Dr. Ferdinand.
