Children and adults experiencing:
Difficulty breathing: This could be due to various reasons, such as birth defects, injuries, infections, or tumours (e.g., subglottic stenosis, bilateral vocal cord paralysis, etc).
Sleep apnea: This condition causes breathing to stop and start repeatedly during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and daytime fatigue.
Blocked airways: This can be caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids, allergies, or other issues.
Facial injuries or birth defects: These can affect the airway and require specialised reconstruction.
What services are offered?
The programme offers a variety of services, including:
Diagnosis: Using advanced technology and tests to identify the underlying cause of breathing problems.
Non-surgical treatments: Including medications, therapies, and lifestyle changes to improve breathing.
Open and endoscopic airway reconstruction: Both traditional surgical procedures and minimally invasive techniques using LASER, cameras, and specialised instruments to address airway problems.
