Removal of benign neoplasms of the nose and ear

The appearance of any growths, nodules, or lumps in the ear or nose area always causes anxiety. If the neoplasm is external (on the skin), it creates significant cosmetic discomfort and is easily traumatized. If the tumor grows internally (in the nasal passages or ear canal), it gradually blocks breathing, impairs hearing, and provokes chronic inflammation.

Otolaryngologists at St. Luke’s Clinic use advanced radiofrequency and endoscopic methods for quick, safe, and painless removal of such neoplasms. We guarantee a high aesthetic result without scars and mandatory laboratory control of removed tissues.

What neoplasms do we remove?

Our specialists have extensive experience in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of various benign pathologies of ENT organs:

• Papillomas and warts: viral formations that can appear on the skin of the auricle, wings of the nose, or on the mucous membrane inside the nose.
• Atheromas (sebaceous cysts): most often occur on the earlobe or behind the ear. These are dense, painless “balls” under the skin that can become purulent.
• Nasal and ear polyps: overgrowths of the mucous membrane. Nasal polyps block breathing and smell, while ear polyps are accompanied by purulent discharge and hearing loss.
• Fibromas and lipomas: formations of connective or fatty tissue.
• Hemangiomas: benign vascular tumors (red or bluish nodules) that often bleed with the slightest trauma.

When should neoplasms be removed?

Doctors do not recommend waiting for the tumor to grow or “disappear on its own” (benign formations do not resolve on their own). Immediate removal is indicated if:

• The neoplasm is constantly traumatized (rubbed by glasses frames, clothing, during combing or ear cleaning).
• It rapidly increases in size, changes color or shape.
• Nasal breathing is blocked, a nasal voice or snoring appears.
• There is hearing loss, tinnitus, or a feeling of stuffiness.
• The formation bleeds, hurts, or causes severe psychological (aesthetic) discomfort.

Modern removal methods at St. Luke’s Clinic

We have abandoned outdated traumatic methods in favor of modern technologies that guarantee quick healing.

1. Radiofrequency surgery (Surgitron device): Ideal for external papillomas, fibromas, and vascular formations. The radio wave non-contactly “cuts” the tumor, instantly sealing the vessels. Leaves no burns or coarse scars! After healing, the skin will be smooth and clean.
2. Endoscopic removal: Used for internal nasal and ear polyps. Thanks to a miniature video camera, the surgeon precisely removes the formation at its very “stem”, without damaging healthy mucous membranes and without making any incisions on the face.

Safety, anesthesia, and control

• Absolutely painless: Any removal is performed under high-quality local anesthesia (injection or spray). You will only feel the first injection, after which the area will completely lose sensitivity.
• Mandatory histology: The main standard of world medicine — all removed tissues (even the smallest papillomas) are sent to the laboratory for histological examination. This provides a 100% accurate answer that the formation was benign and guarantees your peace of mind.

Rehabilitation features

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and lasts from 15 to 30 minutes. Immediately after it, you can return to your affairs. A crust forms at the site of external removal, which will fall off on its own in 7–10 days (it should not be peeled off!).

For 1-2 weeks after the manipulation, doctors recommend not visiting saunas, baths, swimming pools, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
