Rhinology is the ENT subspeciality studying and treating conditions of the nose, sinuses and skull base.
Among the most frequent are:
At HC we offer innovative solutions such as:
- Cryotherapy of the turbinates to improve respiratory function.
- Cryotherapy of the posterior nasal nerve for the treatment of chronic non-allergic rhinitis.
Rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa that can cause congestion, sneezing, itching, discharge and loss of smell. .
Although it is often confused with a cold, it can actually be due to allergic, inflammatory or even structural causes.
In our ENT service we work in close coordination with the Allergology Unit, which allows us to provide a comprehensive approach to each case. Together we conduct a complete study to identify the cause and offer a personalised treatment: ranging from medical measures and environmental control to desensitisation techniques or surgery, when needed.
An effective and minimally invasive solution for better breathing.
The inferior turbinates are structures inside the nose that help filter, warm and humidify the air we breathe. When chronically enlarged, they can cause nasal obstruction, difficulty sleeping, snoring and a constant feeling of a stuffy nose.
Turbinate cryotherapy is an innovative and minimally invasive technique that reduces the size of the turbinates by applying controlled cold directly to the inflamed tissue. It is performed under LOCAL ANAESTHESIA and usually lasts only a few minutes.

ClariFix®: solution for chronic rhinitis.
If you suffer from constant nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose or nasal drip without a clear cause, you may have chronic non-allergic rhinitis, also known as vasomotor rhinitis. This condition is caused by abnormal activation of the posterior nasal nerve, which regulates mucus production and dilation of the vessels of the nasal mucosa.
In our unit, we offer an innovative and minimally invasive solution: posterior nasal nerve cryotherapy using the ClariFix® system. This treatment uses controlled cooling (cryotherapy) to precisely and safely deactivate the nerve responsible for rhinitis symptoms. It is performed under local anaesthesia, and takes less than 30 minutes. For many patients who do not respond to conventional medical treatments, it is a safe, effective and definitive option.
When congestion becomes a persistent problem.
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that can cause nasal congestion, thick discharge, facial pressure and headache, especially in the forehead or around the eyes. It is often mistaken for a cold or even migraines, and in many cases its origin is related to dental problems.
At our hospital, we have state-of-the-art technology such as CBCT (Cone Beam CT), which allows us to study the paranasal sinuses with high precision and minimum radiation exposure. This device allows us to perform a detailed and safe diagnosis, even when repeated check-ups are necessary.
An episode of acute sinusitis that does not respond well to treatment can progress to a chronic form, which in many cases requires surgical intervention. This is why proper evaluation and continuous follow-up is essential.
We offer both medical treatment and endoscopic surgery, with the goal of restoring normal breathing and relieving symptoms in an effective and long-lasting manner.

Nasosinusal polyposis is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa that causes polyps, small benign masses that make breathing difficult, reduce the sense of smell and cause constant nasal discharge or facial pressure.
Initial treatment is usually medical, but in many cases nasal endoscopic surgery is necessary. However, some patients experience recurrence or unsatisfactory outcome. In such cases, we offer biological therapies, innovative treatments that target the source of the inflammation, reduce the polyps and provide long-lasting symptom relief, thus avoiding further surgery.
We study each case individually to offer the best therapeutic option, with a modern and personalised approach.
