Outpatient ENT Procedures

What is ENT?

ENT, or ear, nose and throat, also known as otolaryngology, focuses on treating conditions affecting these areas. Common issues include ear infections, sinus problems and throat disorders. Whether you're receiving care in an inpatient or outpatient setting, Banner Health offers comprehensive ENT treatments to help manage conditions such as tonsillitis, sinusitis, hearing loss and more. Our expert team provides personalized care, ensuring you get the right treatment for your needs, whether it’s a same-day outpatient procedure or a more complex surgery requiring an overnight stay.

Common ENT outpatient procedures

Banner Health specializes in minimally invasive outpatient ENT procedures that allow you to recover at home the same day. Some of the benefits of choosing an outpatient setting include a more relaxed environment, fewer people and lower costs compared to inpatient surgery. Here are some of the most common ENT surgeries we offer:

• Myringotomy (eardrum opening): A small incision in the eardrum to relieve pressure or drain fluid.
• Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy: Removal of the tonsils and/or adenoids for both children and adults.
• Turbinate reduction surgery: Reducing the size of nasal turbinates to improve airflow and treat chronic nasal congestion.
• Nasal and sinus endoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat sinus issues.
• Neck lesion removal: Surgical removal of abnormal growths or cysts in the neck area.
• Septoplasty: Surgery to correct a deviated septum and improve breathing.
• Maxillary sinus endoscopy: A procedure to treat sinus infections or blockages in the maxillary sinuses.
