This new technique has revolutionised the field of tonsil surgery.

Grommets are very small plastic tubes, which sit in a hole in the eardrum. They let air get in and out of the ear. This keeps the ear healthy

The ear consists of the outer, middle and inner ear. Sound travels through the outer ear and reaches the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. The vibration is transmitted through three tiny bones (the malleus, incus and stapes) in the middle ear. The vibration then enters the inner ear, where nerve cells produce signals that are carried to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.

Adenoids are small glands at the back of the nose, known as the nasopharynx. In younger children they help fight germs. After the age of about three years, the adenoids are thought to be no longer needed.

The nasal septum is the thin wall between your two nostrils, made up of cartilage (gristle) and bone. The nasal septum can sometimes be twisted or bent to one side. This can make the inside of your nose narrower, often on one side, and makes the nose feel blocked. It can be caused by a previous injury to the nose, but sometimes it just grows that way.

Sinuses are air-filled spaces in the bones of the face and head. They are connected to the inside of the nose through small openings.

Tonsils are small glands that sit at the back of your throat. You have two tonsils, one on the left side and one on the right side.

Microlaryngoscopy is an in-depth examination of your voice box (also known as your larynx) while you are asleep under a general anaesthetic. It is a short operation and usually takes about 30 minutes. You may have another operation at the same time called a pharyngoscopy and upper oesophagoscopy.
