FAQs
- What is ENT surgery?
ENT surgery is an umbrella term encompassing all surgical procedures carried out on the ears, nose or throat by otolaryngologists, who are specially trained to deal with diseases and disorders in these areas.
Common reasons for ENT surgery include:
- Rhinoplasty (nasal surgery)
- Removal of nasal obstructions
- Operations for sleep apnoea
- Facial pain
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ear)
Surgery of this kind typically carries low levels of risk, but when mistakes are made they can have serious and long-lasting effects on the patient.
- What are the risks of ENT surgery negligence?
Compensation claims for ENT-related negligence are relatively uncommon. However, some patients do unfortunately receive substandard treatment and are affected by mistakes made during surgery that can cause injury and distress.
Examples include:
- Failure to diagnose a condition or illness
- Nerve damage during surgery
- Damage to bones surrounding the eye and skull during endoscopic sinus surgery
- Leaking of cerebrospinal fluid
- Serious adverse effects following craniotomy, including permanent loss of smell, meningitis, brain abscess or nerve damage
