Advanced ENT technology

At Edward-Elmhurst, you have access to sophisticated technology for ear, nose and throat surgery, such as:

  • Harmonic scalpel – an ultrasound technology tool that removes parathyroid tumors. Used in combination with a gamma probe, this scalpel cuts tissue while simultaneously sealing the edges of the incision, allowing for greater precision.
  • Facial nerve monitoring system – a high-tech system that helps ENT surgeons avoid areas of the face where the nerves may be at risk. This provides you with an extra layer of protection and ensures the best and safest outcome.
  • The Fusion™ ENT Navigation System – enables our ear, nose and throat surgeons to use image-guided techniques for safer, more accurate procedures.

Edward-Elmhurst Health offers other specialties related to the treatment of ear, nose and throat conditions, including endocrinology, allergy, audiology and sleep services.
