Management of CSF otorrhea and facial nerve paralysis are also addressed.
We are successfully running a cochlear implant program with a state-of-the-art audiology setup.
Sialology
We treat diseases of the salivary gland both medically and surgically. Surgeries include sialodochotomy, submandibular and parotid gland removal. Aesthetic parotidectomy is also being practiced. Endoscopic salivary gland surgery (sialadenoscopy) is available which take care of early diseases without surgery.

Voice pathology: We provide solutions to voice problems with a dedicated voice clinic every Friday, ably supported by a speech pathologist. Our services match international standards with Stroboscopy and Doctor Speech being a part of the clinic. Surgeries like thyroplasty and other microlaryngeal surgeries are routinely performed. A dedicated swallowing clinic functions every Thursday where swallowing disorders are routinely dealt with.
Paediatric Otolaryngology
We manage all ENT problems in children like cochlear implantation and rehabilitation, endoscopic video assisted adenoidectomy, surgery for choenal atresia, congenital laryngeal problems like laryngomalacia, laryngotracheal stenosis and foreign body removal from bronchus and esophagus. We are ably supported by Paediatrics, Neonatology, and Anesthesiology departments.
Rhinology
The department manages most of the rhinological diseases involving sinusitis and benign masses by nasal endoscopy. We perform cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea repair and difficult frontal and sphenoid sinus surgeries routinely with superior results. We evaluate swallowing with procedures like FEES and videofluroscopy. A dedicated therapy session ensures patient benefit.
Surgery on reconstruction of airway includes Kashima's laser cordotomy, arytenoidectomy, laryngotracheoplasty and tracheal reconstruction and anastomoses. Benign tumors of larynx are removed endoscopically.
