MOVE from the OR to the office and discover an alternative way to perform ENT procedures. Recommended by multiple professional standards agencies, office-based ENT procedures are a viable alternative to conventional OR-based techniques.

Description Save hundreds of dollars on ear examination with Ortorex ear endoscope at the comfort of your home! Many are the features of the endoscope that are being improved. First the quality of the images, thanks to the introduction of 4K technology and the earliest 3D endoscopes, then the employment of robotic surgery with endoscope holders that ideally combine the endoscopic benefits with a two-handed technique. Summary A nasoendoscopy is a routine procedure that is very commonly done by ENT specialists. It can be done in an outpatient clinic, on a ward, or in an Emergency Department, depending on the situation. When used correctly, an ear endoscope can be safe. However, one incorrect move can push ear wax further into the ear canal. This can cause pain, as can scraping the side of the ear. Damage and trauma to the ear canal and the eardrum, including perforation, are possible.

Endoscopy is not suitable if the disease is extensive. By this we mean if the disease extends right up to the mastoid tip. For such conditions, you need to open up the whole area, and since these tissues are already damaged, opening the area is unlikely to cause much extra damage.
