Turbinoplasty is a highly effective procedure for nasal blockage caused by enlarged turbinates. Techniques include radiofrequency, microdebrider reduction, and outfracture — with microdebrider turbinoplasty offering the most comprehensive and long-lasting results in many patients.

Nasendoscopy is a quick, safe procedure that allows ENT specialists to examine the nose, throat and voice box using a small camera. It provides immediate answers for symptoms such as blocked nose, hoarseness and sinus problems.

Still blocked after sinus surgery? Persistent symptoms are often due to ongoing inflammation, polyp regrowth, or incomplete treatment. This guide explains why sinus surgery may not work — and what options are available next.

Nasal polyps are a common cause of persistent nasal blockage and loss of smell. Caused by chronic inflammation, they often require specialist treatment including nasal sprays, sinus surgery (FESS), or newer biologic therapies to achieve long-term control.

A blocked nose is often caused by more than just a cold. From a deviated septum and nasal valve collapse to sinusitis or allergies, identifying the underlying cause is key. This guide explains the most common reasons for nasal blockage and how ENT specialists can treat them effectively.

FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and persistent nasal blockage. Performed through the nose using a camera, it restores natural sinus drainage and helps patients breathe more easily.

We are proud to share that Hampshire ENT Clinics consultant, Mr Tim Biggs, has been featured in The Telegraph for specialist rhinoplasty on the South Coast. The article highlights modern rhinoplasty techniques such as Piezo ultrasonic surgery and dorsal preservation, which focus on achieving natural results while preserving breathing and long-term nasal structure.

A cough that lingers for weeks or months can be frustrating and exhausting. While many people assume the problem is in the chest, chronic cough is often caused by conditions affecting the nose or throat, such as post-nasal drip, silent reflux, or laryngeal irritation. At Hampshire ENT Clinics, we provide specialist assessment and modern treatments — including ClariFix® therapy for chronic nasal drip — to identify the cause and help patients finally break the cycle of persistent coughing.

In addition to his clinical work, Mr Hani Nasef, Consultant ENT Surgeon at Hampshire ENT Clinics, provides independent medico-legal expert reports in cases involving noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus, head and neck trauma, and ENT medical negligence.

Blocked ears, reduced hearing, or a feeling of pressure are often caused by earwax build-up. At Hampshire ENT Clinics, we offer consultant-led microsuction ear wax removal — the safest and most effective way to clear wax and restore hearing.

Microsuction is performed during a 20-minute appointment by an ENT consultant, costs £125 (all inclusive), and avoids the risks of syringing. For best results, patients are advised to use sodium bicarbonate drops for 5 days beforehand. Occasionally, a second visit may be required for heavily impacted wax.

If your symptoms are not caused by wax, this will be identified during the appointment and you will be advised if a formal ENT consultation is needed.

Medicana Winchester is a key hub for Hampshire ENT Clinics, offering consultant-led ENT care in a modern private hospital setting. With access to cutting-edge technology and advanced surgical facilities, patients can receive expert assessment and treatment for complex ENT conditions locally, without the need to travel to tertiary centres.
