Surgical Procedures - Overview
Cost estimates for ENT procedures at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura are provided transparently during the initial consultation. Final costs vary based on the complexity of the case, anaesthesia requirements, implant costs (where applicable) and duration of hospital stay. Pre-authorisation support for health insurance is available.
Septoplasty
Septoplasty surgery costs at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura, Bengaluru depend on a few individual factors like the extent of the deviation, the surgical technique involved, and the patient's overall health condition. The cost generally covers the procedure itself, anaesthesia, hospitalisation, and post-operative follow-up care. Septoplasty surgery corrects a deviated nasal septum (the wall of cartilage and bone separating the 2 nasal passages). A deviation, whether congenital or from prior trauma, restricts airflow through one or both sides of the nose and is among the most common causes of chronic nasal obstruction. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia (typically takes 45–90 minutes) and involves reshaping or repositioning the nasal septum without altering the external appearance of the nose. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours with a recovery period of one to two weeks.
Adenoidectomy
Adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoid pad, which is lymphoid tissue at the back of the nasal cavity, behind the nose. Enlarged adenoids are a common cause of nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, recurrent ear infections, and sleep-disordered breathing in children. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia endoscopically with a coblator, without any external incision and takes approximately 20–30 minutes. It is frequently performed alongside tonsillectomy or myringotomy if indicated. The cost of adenoidectomy operation at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura, Bengaluru depends on a number of individual characteristics of the patient like the age of the child, level of adenoid swelling, whether the surgery is being paired with tonsillectomy or not and the entire treatment plan indicated by the physician. Usually, the price covers the surgical procedure, anaesthesia, hospitalisation, post-operative care and follow-up appointments. For a detailed and tailored estimate, we advise you to book an appointment with our ENT specialist at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura.
Cochlear Implantation
A cochlear implant is an electronic device that bypasses damaged hair cells in the inner ear and directly stimulates the auditory nerve restoring hearing sensation in patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. The procedure involves surgical placement of an electrode array in the cochlea under general anaesthesia. KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura is a recognised implantation centre with an established mapping and rehabilitation programme. The overall Cochlear Implantation surgery cost typically includes the implant device, surgical procedure, anaesthesia and hospitalisation.
Stapedectomy
Stapedectomy is performed for otosclerosis. This is an abnormal bone remodelling condition affecting the stapes bone in the middle ear causing progressive conductive hearing loss. The surgery involves removing the fixed stapes & replacing it with a prosthesis to restore ossicular movement and sound transmission. It is performed under local or general anaesthesia using operating microscopy and requires a high degree of surgical precision. Hearing improvement is achieved in the majority of appropriately selected patients. Every patient's situation is a little different so the Stapedectomy surgery cost will be different as well. The cost of this procedure is influenced by a few key factors like whether one or both ears need attention, the type of prosthesis best suited to your condition, and the level of care required before and after surgery. Therefore, a one-on-one consultation with our ENT specialist at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura is the best starting point.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
FESS is the surgical standard of care for chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps, and recurrent sinusitis that has not resolved with medical management. Using narrow endoscopes inserted through the nostrils — without any facial incision — the surgeon directly visualises and removes obstructing tissue and enlarges the natural drainage pathways of the affected sinuses. Intraoperative navigation is used at KIMS for complex or revision cases, improving precision and reducing risk to adjacent structures including the orbit and skull base. Aa consultation with our ENT specialist at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura is the most reliable way for understanding Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery cost.
Tonsillectomy
Tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the palatine tonsils located on either side of the back of the throat and is performed for recurrent tonsillitis (typically defined as seven or more episodes in one year, or five per year over two years), obstructive tonsillar hypertrophy, peritonsillar abscess, and tonsillar pathology. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 20–30 minutes. A consultation with our ENT specialist at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura is the most reliable way to understand your treatment options and receive a Tonsillectomy surgery cost estimate that reflects your individual condition accurately.
Mastoidectomy
Mastoidectomy is performed for chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma or for persistent mastoid infection that has not resolved with antibiotics. The procedure removes infected or diseased mastoid air cells through an incision behind the ear under general anaesthesia. Hearing reconstruction may be performed simultaneously or as a planned second stage.
Myringotomy
Myringotomy involves a small incision in the eardrum to drain fluid from the middle ear and, where indicated, the insertion of a ventilation tube (grommet) to maintain the opening and allow ongoing drainage and pressure equalisation. It is most performed in children with chronic otitis media with effusion (glue ear) causing conductive hearing loss, speech delay, or recurrent ear infections. The Myringotomy surgery cost depends on factors such as whether ear tubes (grommets) are being inserted alongside, the patient's age, whether one or both ears are being treated, and the type of anaesthesia required.
Sleep & Snoring Surgery
Sleep and snoring surgery are performed to treat persistent snoring and sleep related respiratory disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Mild cases can be treated with lifestyle adjustments or technologies such as CPAP machines. Surgery is advised if the primary cause is an anatomical abnormality in the airway. These operations improve breathing at night, eliminate snoring, and avoid issues associated to poor sleep and lack of oxygen.
Causes of Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Snoring and sleep-disordered breathing often result from:
- Enlarged Tonsils or Adenoids
- Nasal Blockages: Deviated septum, polyps, or chronic sinusitis.
- Soft Palate or Uvula Abnormalities
- Obesity or Excess Throat Tissue
- Weak Airway Muscles causing collapse during sleep.
Symptoms Requiring Surgery
Surgery may be an option for patients who have:
- Chronic loud snoring that disturbs your sleep or your partner’s sleep.
- Who wake up a lot, or choke in their sleep.
- Tiredness during the day, poor concentration or irritation.
