Otolaryngology (E.N.T.)

Otolaryngology is the study of ear, nose, and throat conditions or ENT. It is also referred to as Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery or otorhinolaryngology.

Physicians specializing in otolaryngology are called otolaryngologists or by the nickname “ENTs” or “ENT doctors” and often treat children with persistent ear, nose, and throat conditions to include surgery. Adult patients often seek treatment from an otolaryngologist for sinus infections, age-related hearing loss, and cancers of these regions. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments which include microscopes, endoscopes, etc at the operating theatre and OPD.

Apart from Ear, Nose and Throat surgeries, the department also performs Head, Neck and Skull base surgeries. To lay special emphasis on teaching, all procedures in operating theatre and OPD are demonstrated on monitor. Videos of interesting findings and surgeries are prepared. Cadaveric dissection of temporal bone, paranasal sinuses, skull base and neck are done. The department is continuously involved in research activities and has several International and National Publications to its credit.
