ENT (Otolaryngology) surgery is performed on the head and neck area to diagnose and surgically treat conditions affecting the ears, nose, sinuses, throat, and related structures. Otolaryngologists provide specialized clinical care for pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients experiencing acute and chronic disorders of these vital sensory systems.
At Al Khalidi Hospital & Medical Center, we work closely with the leading consultant ENT surgeons in Jordan. Our advanced surgical suites are equipped with state-of-the-art high-definition endoscopes, surgical navigation systems, and micro-instruments to ensure precision, patient safety, and optimal clinical outcomes.

ENT & Otolaryngology FAQs
When is Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) recommended?
FESS is indicated for recurrent or chronic rhinosinusitis that does not respond to medical therapy, nasal polyposis, recurrent sinus infections, or structural blockages that impair normal sinus ventilation.
How is postoperative pain managed after tonsillectomy in children?
Our surgical specialists utilize advanced low-thermal and coblation technologies that minimize tissue trauma and bleeding. Combined with scheduled age- and weight-based analgesia, children experience a smooth, comfortable recovery.
What are the main causes of chronic ear infections and hearing loss?
Common causes include recurrent middle ear fluid buildup (otitis media with effusion), perforated eardrums, chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction, or damage to the delicate middle ear ossicles.
Can snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) be cured surgically?
Yes, depending on the anatomic obstruction identified during clinical evaluation, corrective procedures such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or palate surgery can significantly improve airflow and reduce snoring.
Does Al Khalidi Hospital handle emergency ENT cases?
Yes, our Emergency Department operates 24/7 with immediate access to on-call ENT surgeons for urgent conditions such as acute severe nosebleeds (epistaxis), airway foreign bodies, and sudden hearing loss.
