In my daily practice I readily use modern, minimally invasive methods such as endoscopic and laser techniques. I perform surgery on salivary glands, lymph nodes and other pathological lesions in the neck area. I also work on improving voice quality in patients with glottic insufficiency, using solutions such as injection laryngoplasty, thyroplasty and laryngeal reinnervation. I also help people with otolaryngological complaints such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, lymphadenitis and pain in these areas. I perform procedures on the ears, including: paracentesis, ear drainage, removal of lesions from the auricle or ear canal, and removal of drains.
Scope of procedures and consultations: nasal septum, turbinates, tonsils, soft palate, neck tumours, salivary gland tumours, sinuses, laryngeal microsurgery, medialisation of the vocal folds, oncological cases, sialoendoscopies, laryngeal paralysis, reduction of nasal fractures, tinnitus.
Procedures under local anaesthesia: cauterisation of blood vessels, conchoplasty, lesion removal, UP2, reduction of nasal fractures, polypectomy.
