About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at the Hospital Kassel provides the prevention, diagnostics and treatment of any ENT diseases in patients of all age groups. The service range is complemented by competent medical care for patients with benign and malignant head and neck tumors. The patients with hearing loss and severe hearing impairment are offered cochlear implantation. The department also includes the specialized Skull Base Surgery Center, whose specialists perform surgical treatment of various injuries and inflammatory lesions in this area, malformations and tumors. Most ENT surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive and endoscopic surgical techniques, which are the gold standard of modern surgery. The department provides both inpatient and outpatient medical care. The department is one of the largest ENT centers in Lower Saxony and Hesse, as well as one of the best in Germany. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ulrike Bockmühl.
The department treats many patients with severe hearing impairment and hearing loss. To restore hearing, patients are offered classical hearing aids, implantable hearing aids and cochlear implantation. The department's ENT doctors implant such modern implantable hearing aids as Vibrant Soundbridge®, CARINA®, BAHA® and Bonebridge®. These hearing aids are the best in the global medical arena. The difference between them is only in the type of implantation (partial or total) and some technical nuances. The most appropriate type of hearing aid is selected according to the particular clinical indications. After implanting the hearing aids, the attending physician performs special programming in order to adapt the signal processing to the individual needs of the patient. The department also specializes in cochlear implantation in adults and children, which today is a breakthrough in the treatment of severe hearing loss and total deafness. A cochlear implant consists of two components – an internal one (a cochlear implant itself), which is installed during the operation, and an external one (speech processor), which is connected 3-4 weeks after surgery. The external mechanism of the implant collects, analyzes, encodes and transmits auditory information to the internal components of the prosthesis, which, in turn, receive, decode and transmit auditory information to the auditory nerve. The decision on cochlear implantation is made on the basis of comprehensive diagnostics, including the study of the patient's medical history, clinical examination, tone and speech audiometry, tympanometry, assessment of the stapedial reflex, otoacoustic emission, balance diagnostics, as well as BERA test, speech audiometry, CT and MRI scanning. The duration of the operation for cochlear implantation is about 2 hours. The period of postoperative hospitalization is 3-5 days. About 4 weeks after the operation, the patient undergoes a special hearing and speech rehabilitation, the duration of which is several months.
The priority focus of the department's medical team is on the treatment of head and neck malignancies, such as lip cancer, oral cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, salivary gland cancer, facial skin cancer, etc. The treatment is based on an interdisciplinary approach, and therefore the specialists from all related medical fields are involved in the therapeutic process. The diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed in strict accordance with the recommendations of the German Cancer Society and the German Society of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery. Prior to using a certain treatment regimen, the patient undergoes a clinical examination, imaging tests – ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET-CT, scintigraphy (depending on the patient's complaints and symptoms), panendoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract and biopsy with further histological examination. The diagnostic results allow the doctors to accurately determine the type of tumor and its stage, which affects the choice of the optimal treatment regimen. The department's therapeutic options for head and neck malignancies include surgical tumor resection, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, combined chemoradiotherapy, immunotherapy, antibody therapy, pain therapy and diet therapy. Psycho-oncological care is also an important component of treatment. The optimal treatment regimen is developed for each patient individually at the interdisciplinary tumor boards. Upon completion of treatment, the patient must regularly undergo check-up examinations in order to avoid a recurrence of the pathology or its early detection.
The department also specializes in skull base surgery. In 2010, the medical facility was certified by the German Society for Skull Base Surgery as a specialized center. It deals with the treatment of various skull base pathologies – from congenital and acquired malformations, trauma and inflammatory diseases to benign and malignant tumors. Ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons and maxillofacial surgeons are often involved in the diagnostics and treatment of patients with pathological changes in the skull base. When performing skull base surgery, the department's specialists use state-of-the-art technical equipment, including endoscopes, surgical microscopes, intraoperative navigation systems, neuromonitoring, etc. Such an approach guarantees maximum safety of the surgical treatment without damaging vital anatomical structures and healthy tissues not affected by the pathological process.
The department's main clinical focuses include:
- Ear surgery to treat conductive, sensorineural and mixed hearing loss
- Tympanoplasty
- Stapedoplasty
- Drainage of the tympanic cavity in the case of exudative otitis media
- Cochlear implantation in adults and children
