Institute of Otolaryngology (ENT)
- Nasal problems — rhinoplasty, deviated septum, nasal tumors
- Throat problems — pharyngitis, laryngitis, throat tumors, paresis
- Vocal cord disorders
- Hearing problems — hearing loss, otitis, otosclerosis
- Defects and tumors of the facial skull and neck
The Department of Otolaryngology uses the most advanced endoscopic methods to detect problems of the throat, nose, sinuses, and inner and middle ear. Surgical procedures such as adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy have long been routine practice. One of the department’s leading focuses is the treatment of acquired and congenital deafness in children and adults. Cochlear implants restore patients to normal daily life and provide the opportunity to regain one of the most essential human senses — auditory perception. The Department of Otolaryngology helps patients with speech and voice disorders communicate without defects or difficulties. The department operates a unique institute for audiometry and electrophysiological examination methods that have only emerged in the 21st century. Millions of people visit emergency rooms daily with sore throats, breathing difficulties, and hearing loss, and all of them are referred to an otolaryngologist. Everyday pharyngitis, sinusitis, and otitis are far from the complete list of conditions addressed by the Institute of Otolaryngology. The Head and Neck Surgery Department handles the full spectrum of defects and tumors of the face, oral cavity, and soft tissues of the neck. Cochlear implantation is the only definitive solution for sensorineural hearing loss, restoring auditory perception. Using methods such as electronic audiometry, the BERA test, and MRI of the mastoid process, sensorineural hearing loss (nerve problems) can be differentiated from conductive hearing loss (middle ear problems) with high precision.
