Advanced ENT Treatments and Procedures

From gentle paediatric care to complex surgical procedures, we provide expert treatment options tailored to your needs.

Dr Thomas Nguyen offers a complete range of ENT treatment options, from conservative medical management to advanced surgical procedures. With subspecialty training in Rhinology, and skull base surgery, he provides personalised treatment plans that prioritise your comfort and achieving the best possible outcome.

What Is Our Treatment Philosophy?

Every patient deserves a treatment approach tailored to their specific needs. Our philosophy is built on four key principles.

  • Conservative First
    We always explore medical management and non-surgical options before recommending surgery.
  • Evidence-Based
    We use the latest, proven techniques to ensure the highest quality of care.
  • Patient-Centred
    We provide clear explanations of all options so you can make informed and confident decisions.
  • Comprehensive Care
    We guide you through every step, from the initial assessment to your complete recovery.

Our Treatment Services

Paediatric ENT Treatments

We provide specialised care designed for the unique needs of children, using gentle, child-friendly approaches in a supportive environment.

  • Comprehensive Care for Children
    This includes child-friendly examination techniques, specialised equipment, and a family-centred approach that ensures parents are involved and informed at every stage.
  • Sleep Disorders
    We offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments (including adenotonsillectomy) for sleep-disordered breathing in children, with comprehensive pre-operative and post-operative care.
  • Ear Infections and Hearing
    This includes medical management for acute and chronic ear infections, prevention strategies, and surgical options when needed.
     
    • Grommet Surgery: Ventilation tube insertion for persistent fluid in the ears (glue ear) or recurrent acute infections, with detailed recovery guidance.
    • Myringoplasty (Eardrum Repair): Microsurgical repair of perforated eardrums to restore hearing and prevent infection.
    • Exostectomy (Surfer's Ear): Specialised microsurgical treatment for bony growths in the ear canal, preserving hearing.

Advanced Surgical Procedures

We use advanced, minimally invasive techniques for complex adult conditions, focusing on effective results and a quicker, more comfortable recovery.

  • Rhinology and Sinus Surgery
    Using endoscopic techniques (image-guided for complex cases), we treat chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and complex sinus disease. Procedures include Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS), and revision sinus surgery.
  • Nasal Surgery
    We perform procedures to improve nasal breathing and function, including septoplasty (for a deviated septum) and turbinoplasty (to reduce enlarged turbinates).
  • Sleep Apnoea Surgery
    We offer comprehensive surgical planning for sleep-disordered breathing in adults, including Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)—a procedure to remodel the soft palate and uvula to open the airway.
  • Skull Base Surgery
    Dr Nguyen has fellowship training in advanced endoscopic skull base surgery for complex conditions, coordinating with neurosurgical colleagues when appropriate.
  • Head and neck cancer diagnoses
    Dr Nguyen has links to the Newcastle/Mater and Liverpool Head and Neck Oncology Multidisciplinary Team Meetings and can present cancer cases that he has diagnosed. Any newly diagnosed patients will have access to ever-evolving evidenced based treatments.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

We provide comprehensive medical management for a wide range of ENT conditions.
Medical and Therapeutic Management
This includes medication for inflammatory conditions, allergy assessment and treatment, nasal hygiene protocols, and coordination with speech therapists and other allied health professionals.
Voice and Throat Care
We provide advanced diagnostic services like microlaryngoscopy for voice problems and medical management for laryngitis and other throat conditions.

How We Determine Your Best Treatment Option

Thorough Assessment
We begin with a complete evaluation of your condition and medical history.
Diagnostic Testing
We use advanced tools when needed, including nasendoscopy for sinus visualisation and high-resolution imaging for complex cases.
Shared Decision Making
We discuss all available options, clearly explaining the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes so you can make a choice you are confident in.
Surgery is typically recommended only when conservative treatments have been unsuccessful, an anatomical issue requires correction, or your quality of life is significantly impacted.

How Do We Ensure Surgical Excellence and Patient Safety?

We understand that considering surgery can be a significant decision for you and your family. That is why your safety is our absolute priority at every step.
Advanced Training and Expertise
Dr Nguyen is an Australian-trained ENT Specialist with international fellowship training in Canada. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS).
State-of-the-Art Technology
We use high-definition endoscopic systems and image-guided surgical navigation. We prioritise minimally invasive techniques to ensure a quicker, more comfortable recovery for you.
Rigorous Safety Protocols
Our commitment to eliminating preventable complications is supported by rigorous pre-operative assessments, advanced monitoring, and experienced anaesthesia teams.
Focus on Quality Outcomes
We rigorously track our procedural outcomes against established benchmarks to ensure the highest quality of care. We believe in transparent communication about realistic expectations.
