The surgeon who led the world’s first 3D-printed middle-ear transplant consults at Botshilu Private Hospital. Prof. Mashudu Tshifularo – Head of ENT at the University of Pretoria, sees patients here, in Soshanguve. Specialist ear, nose and throat care for your family, closer to home.
World-class credentials matter most for the everyday conditions that wear families down. If you or anyone in your family has tonsillitis every term, snores, breathes through their mouth, or keeps getting ear and sinus infections, the winter school holidays are the time to fix it properly, assessed and treated by a specialist of this calibre.
- Recurring tonsillitis – five or more bouts a year means the tonsils are the problem. Tonsillectomy recovery is roughly 10 – 14 days; the holidays cover it.
- Glue ear & repeat ear infections – hearing loss is often mistaken for “not listening.” Grommets are a short procedure, and patients are typically discharged to go home on the same day.
- Snoring & mouth-breathing – enlarged adenoids and tonsils can disrupt sleep. Further assessment and a possible adenoidectomy procedure may be recommended during consultation.
- Chronic sinusitis – blocked nose, facial pressure, repeated infections may become worse in winter. It’s important that these get examined as early as possible, and sugrgery may be advised where necessary, for both children and adults.
- Adult ENT – sinus surgery, nasal obstruction, hearing problems, throat complaints.
