Grommet Insertion
Grommets (tympanostomy tubes) are placed in the eardrum to ventilate the middle ear and drain fluid (glue ear). This is one of the most common ENT procedures in children, performed under brief general anaesthesia.
Tonsillectomy
Removal of the tonsils is recommended for recurrent tonsillitis (7 or more episodes per year), obstructive sleep apnoea, or peritonsillar abscess. It is performed under general anaesthesia, usually as a day procedure.
