About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at the Meoclinic Hospital Berlin offers the full range of services for the diagnostics and treatment of ENT diseases. The department's team of doctors pays due attention to the treatment of acute and inflammatory diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses, pathologies of the ear, oral cavity, pharynx, salivary glands and larynx. The department provides medical care for both adults and children. The department has modern operating rooms, where surgeons perform surgical treatment of complex ENT conditions using endoscopic, microsurgical and open surgical techniques. The medical facility also offers advanced technologies for the examination of ENT organs, including equipment for rhinoscopy, otoscopy, X-ray scanning, ultrasound scanning, and magnetic resonance imaging. The department's specialists always strive to provide high-quality treatment and meet all the patient's needs. In addition, otolaryngologists guarantee an individual approach to each clinical case, which contributes to the achievement of the best therapeutic results. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Markus Jungehülsing.
The department's medical team often admits patients with ear pathologies and hearing loss. In addition, patients suffering from infectious diseases such as otitis media seek medical help in the department. These pathologies respond well to antibiotics. In addition, a common complaint in the department's clinical practice is hearing impairment or its complete loss. In this case, the doctors of the medical facility primarily focus on comprehensive diagnostics to detect the causes of hearing loss. Depending on the diagnostic data obtained, further therapeutic measures are determined to improve hearing and improve the patient's quality of life. In some cases, it is enough to select the optimal hearing aid, but often hearing improvement surgery is also required. The department's otolaryngologists specialize in type I, II and III tympanoplasty, stapedectomy and stapedoplasty. Such operations are performed in both adults and children. When performing interventions, the department's surgeons use microsurgical techniques, which can significantly reduce the period of hospitalization – in most cases it is only 3-5 days.
The treatment of pathologies of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses also occupies an important place in the department's clinical practice. The most common diagnoses in this field of otolaryngology include rhinitis, including allergic one, sinusitis, frontal sinusitis and nasal polyps. The doctors of the medical facility also specialize in the surgical repair of the deviated nasal septum (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty), surgery for nasal and paranasal polyp resection, operations for nasal concha reduction in case of hyperplasia. During the above mentioned operations, sparing microsurgical and endoscopic techniques are used. Prior to the intervention, the doctor tells the patient about the upcoming treatment, the stages of the operation and the expected results. After surgical treatment, the patient receives high quality care and the necessary recommendations.
The department's therapeutic offer is complemented by the treatment of pathologies of the oropharynx and throat: putrid throat, tonsillitis, swallowing disorders, mononucleosis, lateral and medial neck cysts and fistulas, as well as other diseases. Whenever possible, conservative therapy is preferred. If necessary, the department's specialists also perform surgical interventions. The department often performs surgery to remove nasopharyngeal tonsils in children (adenotomy). These operations are performed under general anesthesia. In most cases, there is no need for hospitalization, so the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. The duration of the intervention is only 10-15 minutes. The department's surgeons also successfully perform operations to remove neck lymph nodes (for example, in case of cancer), operations on the vocal cords (for example, in case of vocal cord polyps, malignant neoplasms of the vocal cords, cysts and vocal cord swelling), operations to remove lateral and medial neck cysts and fistulas, operations to treat snoring (uvuloplasty).
