Otorhinolaryngology

Our department was founded in 1984. Its long name expresses the wide variety of our offered services regarding diagnostics as well as conservative and surgical treatment of any ear- nose and throat disease including congenital and acquired voice-, speech-, and hearing disorders. We offer all basic operations of our specialty such as adenotomies, tonsillectomies and septoplasties. Our department has an additional emphasis on:

• Improvement of hearing power by performing microsurgery on the middle-ear (e.g. in patients with otosclerosis)
• Implantable hearing-aids such as bone anchored hearing-aids (BAHA®) and the implantable Vibrant Soundbridge®
• Bone anchored artificial replacements
• Treatment of Menière’s disease  with Gentamicin and saccotomy
• Navigation-assisted „powered“ microscopic-endoscopic functional endonasal sinus surgery (FESS)
• Repairing of defects of the nasal septum
• Reconstructing- and plastic surgery e.g. correction of the nose or the eye-lid
• Minimal invasive surgery of the tear duct
• Preserving and rehabilitating cancer-surgery using minimal invasive microscopic laser-techniques
• Rehabilitation of voice after surgical resection of the larynx either by implantation of voice-replacements or by reconstruction with so called larynx-replacement plasties using free skin flaps, the vessels of which are micro-surgically connected to big neck-vessels
• Phono-surgery (surgical treatment of voice-dysfunctions)
• Surgical treatment of the thyroid gland using electronic nerve monitoring providing additional safety for larynx nerves
• Treatment of problems with swallowing e.g. by endoscopic operations of a so called hypopharynx diverticulum (Zenker’s Diverticulum)
• Surgery on the salivary glands using electronic nerve monitoring providing additional safety for the facial nerve
• Diagnostics and treatment of snoring and irregular breathing during sleep

Emergencies are treated 24 hours a day.

For certain diseases and questions we offer special Out Patient Clinics in order to be able to deal with your needs individually. This mainly applies to the follow-up after cancer treatment, ear operations and plastic surgery. We have a strong multidisciplinary approach concerning cancer diseases (Oncology, Radiotherapy, Radiology) in order to provide optimal medical care.

On our wards you are accommodated in single or double rooms with elevated equipment and care. The nursing staff is highly qualified and multilingual.

All our doctors speak English.
