In his practice, Dr. Chantre places particular emphasis on accurate diagnosis and an individualized approach, using modern technologies including digital ENT video endoscopy. This method allows the doctor to carefully assess the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, larynx, and other anatomical structures, establish an accurate diagnosis, and determine the optimal treatment strategy.
Dr. Chantre pays special attention to the treatment of pediatric ear, nose, and throat conditions, as many ENT disorders first appear in childhood. Early diagnosis and proper treatment help prevent complications such as chronic infections, hearing problems, breathing disorders, and delayed speech development.

Surgical treatment
Adenoidectomy

Removing the tonsils eliminates a chronic source of infection and improves quality of life.
Myringotomy with ventilation tube placement
This procedure is performed for chronic ear infections or fluid accumulation in the middle ear.
- a small incision is made in the eardrum
- a ventilation tube is inserted
- normal middle ear ventilation is restored
The procedure helps improve hearing and prevent recurrent infections.
Septoplasty
Septoplasty is surgery to correct a deviated nasal septum.
- chronic nasal congestion
- difficulty breathing
- frequent sinus infections
- headaches
The procedure restores normal nasal breathing.
Endoscopic sinus surgery
This modern minimally invasive surgery is used for:
- chronic sinusitis
- nasal polyps
- other paranasal sinus conditions
Endoscopic surgery is performed through the nasal passages without external incisions and helps effectively remove inflammation and restore sinus function.
Tongue-tie release (frenulotomy)
The doctor performs tongue-tie release in newborns, infants, and children. The procedure helps resolve breastfeeding difficulties, improve tongue mobility, and prevent potential speech development issues.
Treatment approach
Dr. Tiago Chantre follows the principle of highly accurate diagnosis and an individualized approach. In many cases, conditions can be successfully treated conservatively with medication and monitoring. However, if surgical treatment is the most effective option, the doctor carefully explains each step and helps the patient prepare for surgery.
The main goal of treatment is to restore normal ear, nose, and throat function, eliminate symptoms, and significantly improve the patient's quality of life.
