Also congenital aural atresia surgery, BAHA application; microtia repair can be performed.
Surgery for otolaryngological cancer
Otolaryngological surgery using the most modern methods available is carried out to treat the following conditions; ear, nose, throat, mouth cavity, nasal fossae, larynx, salivary gland, and the diagnosis and treatment of all benign and malign tumors in the thyroid and neck. Beside surgical treatment, post-surgery tissue loss repair and oncological treatments are provided in our clinics.
Rhinology
Our Rhinology department successfully administers medical and surgical procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of nasal congestion, allergy treatments, and medical and surgical treatment of sinus conditions. Congenital problems of the nose such as choanal atresia can be successfully managed.
Endoscopic techniques are widely administered in sinus surgery today. Our clinic uses the most developed and most recent “Surgical Navigation System” which reduces the risk of complications resulting from surgery. In this way, potential side effects are reduced to extremely low levels. This technology is particularly helpful in patients who have undergone previous surgeries resulting in an altered anatomy or patients with tumors.
Pediatric ear, nose and throat diseases
Our clinic is one of the few centers which offer such comprehensive treatment. Our specialist physicians carry out procedures implemented in the pediatric ear nose throat department which are not restricted to tonsil or adenoid surgeries but also include: the treatment of congenital anomalies (born without ears or nose, cleft palate), breathing disorders related to congenital throat anomalies and congenital cysts and masses.
Voice and dysphagia (swallowing disorder) disorders
The voice and swallowing disorders unit provides the necessary examinations, rehabilitation, treatment and surgery for disorders including dysphonia (loss of voice), voice disorders, difficulty in swallowing, and sialorrhea (excessive salivation).
The Lumenis CO2 laser uses cutting edge technology and is currently available at few medical institutions around the world. Our experienced specialists use the device to treat conditions including disorders of the vocal cords (polyps, lesions), tracheal stenosis (tumors), and throat cancers. Mouth and nose tumors and skin lesions can all be treated with the laser with minimum bleeding. It is also known that the laser is an extremely beneficial method in the treatment of papilloma, a viral infection of the airway. The laser is also successfully used to treat skin lesions in CO2 laser plastic surgery.

Patients can also select hearing aids which are then implemented. The clinic is equipped with all technology required to treat tinnitus.
What is a cochlear implant?
A cochlear implant (bionic ear implant) is a computerized device that may restore useful hearing to persons with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (nerve deafness). It is the only medical technology able to restore one of the body’s five senses – the sense of hearing. People who receive little benefit from hearing aids are considered for cochlear implant candidacy. Worldwide, there are more than 400,000 children and adults who benefit from cochlear implants. Unlike a hearing aid, which amplifies incoming sound, a cochlear implant changes sound waves into electrical signals. Hearing aids require functioning hair cells in the inner ear whereas cochlear implants bypass damaged hair cells and convert speech and environmental sounds into electrical signals and send these signals to the hearing nerve.
