About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at the Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch offers all the modern options of medicine for the diagnostics and treatment of hearing impairment, voice, sleep disorders. The specialists of the department have a huge arsenal of effective treatment methods and pay great attention to providing the best individual medical service. A particularly important department's focus is the treatment of head and neck tumors. In addition, the otolaryngologists of the department specialize in newborn hearing screening. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Marc Bloching.

The department provides the treatment for all ear, throat and nose diseases in adults and children. Depending on the specific clinical indications, both conservative and surgical measures can be used. The department's structure includes the specialized Helios Hearing Center Berlin-Brandenburg. It employs highly qualified otolaryngologists, specialists in the installation of hearing aids and cochlear implants, experts in the field of audiology, rehabilitologists and pediatric otolaryngologists who use all their rich experience and professionalism to restore patients' hearing.

The priorities of the department's clinical practice include the treatment of head and neck neoplasms. In addition to tumor resection, the doctors set themselves the task of guaranteeing the patient the preservation of important functions, such as the ability to self-eat, swallowing, speech, etc. Whenever possible, the surgical treatment involves the use of the most sparing surgical techniques, which allow the patient to recover as quickly as possible and provide the best aesthetic result. For example, laser surgery techniques are used to avoid extensive external incisions. The therapeutic options of the department in this area include classical surgical resections, CO2 laser interventions, radiation therapy, plastic reconstructive procedures (for example, microsurgical procedures for the restoration of affected areas using various grafts), palliative therapy to relieve symptoms.

The department also specializes in the comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of dizziness. One of the most common forms of the pathology is paroxysmal positional vertigo. In addition, the department’s doctors deal with the treatment of patients with Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis, bilateral vestibulopathy, vestibular migraine and other pathologies.
