Technologies used in ENT surgical suites
Edward’s operating suites are equipped with the most sophisticated technology for ear, nose and throat surgery, including:
- Harmonic Scalpel, an ultrasound technology tool used in removing parathyroid tumors. Used in combination with a gamma probe, this scalpel cuts tissue while simultaneously sealing the edges of the incision, allowing surgeons to complete the procedure with greater precision.
- A facial nerve monitoring system, a high-tech system that helps ENT surgeons stay away from areas of the face where the nerves may be put to risk. For you this provides an extra layer of precaution to ensure the best and safest outcome of your procedure.
- The Fusion™ ENT Navigation System, enabling our ear, nose and throat surgeons to utilize image-guided techniques for safer, more thorough procedures.
