A minimally invasive technique to treat Eustachian tube blockage
Eustachian tube balloon dilation can avoid the need for grommets
Is usually carried out under general anaesthetic. A small endoscope is inserted in the nose and a balloon catheter is directed into the Eustachian tube. The balloon is then dilated to gently stretch and open up the tube. The procedure only takes a few minutes.
Eustachian tube balloon dilation is painless and recovery is very quick.
