The Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital, faculty of medical sciences of the SOA Deemed to be University here, has introduced Endoscopic Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty, a procedure to deal with chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD), for the first time in Odisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Radhamadhab Sahu, an expert in\nENT and skull base surgery at the hospital has conducted six such procedures\nsuccessfully in recent times, a SOA release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Eustachian tube, which exists to\nprotect the middle ear from disease, ventilate the middle ear and take\nsecretions away from the same, links the back of the nose to middle ear,\ncontrols pressure within the middle ear making it equal with the air pressure\noutside the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ETD, which is known to affect about\nfive per cent of the adult population, is the inability of the Eustachian tube\nto adequately perform its functions and the failure of its valve to open or\nclose properly. It is normally closed but opens when a person swallows, yawns\nor chews something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients with ETD experience\nsymptoms of ear pain and pressure, fullness, crackling or popping sounds,\nmuffled hearing and pain or discomfort with barometric changes. Complications\nfrom untreated Eustachian tube dysfunction include otitis media, damage to\nmiddle ear, perforation of ear drum, collapse of ear drum, decreased hearing\nand cholesteatoma, the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty (BET)\nis a new , minimal invasive surgical option intended to provide relief to lacs\nof patient suffering from Chronic Eustachian Tube dysfunction<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty\nprocedure a flexible tube with deflated balloon is introduced in to the\nnarrowed Eustachian tube through nose under endoscopic vision.\nThe balloon was then inflated up to 10\natmospheric pressure and kept for 2 minutes in inflated position. In this way\nballoon widens the tube and helps it to restore the function. The procedure\ninvolves no tissue removal , injections or implant, comparing to existing\nsurgical options. BET has been used in west(USA, Europe) extensively and shown\nexcellent short and long term results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The balloon\nused in this procedure is from Eustacare which is the first ETD balloon product\nof India , is user friendly and available in very affordable price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
