Whenever possible, your surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques. The minimally invasive surgery uses a few tiny incisions, or in many cases, no incision. With specialized instruments, the surgery may be through your nostrils, for example. The health benefits of minimally invasive surgery include: • Faster recovery time • Less pain, bruising, and scarring • Less anesthesia required • Less blood loss • Lower risk of infection If you have any questions about ear, nose, or throat surgery, call Southern ENT Associates, which specializes in pediatric and adult head and neck surgery. We serve patients from Thibodaux LA, Houma LA, Raceland LA, Morgan City LA, New Iberia LA, and Youngsville LA, and surrounding areas.
