About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at the PAN Clinic Cologne offers all the options of modern medicine for conservative and surgical treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the ears, nose, pharynx and larynx, as well as vertigo, tinnitus and voice disorders. In addition, the department's otolaryngologists are competent in plastic and aesthetic surgery on the head and neck. The department admits both adults and young patients. Many therapeutic procedures and operations are performed on an outpatient basis, without hospitalization and long hospital stay. The doctors working in the department are distinguished by their exceptional professionalism and they are deservedly proud of their excellent clinical results. Their primary interest is the surgical treatment of ENT diseases provided with the use of the very latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive surgery, microsurgery, navigation surgery, endoscopic and laser procedures. In addition to the high level of medical care, the specialists make every effort to create a pleasant atmosphere in the department, in which the patient will feel as comfortable as possible. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Emil Zenev.
An important focus of the department's doctors is on ear surgery and surgery to improve hearing. The doctors often admit patients with severe hearing loss who require partially implantable hearing aids or cochlear implantation. The department's physicians prefer SOUNDBRIDGE® and BONEBRIDGE® partially implantable hearing aids, which have proven themselves worldwide. The placement of such implants is indicated for the patients with severe hearing loss, when the use of conventional external hearing aids is ineffective. The SOUNDBRIDGE® and BONEBRIDGE® partially implantable hearing aids guarantee excellent quality of hearing, preservation of ear receptors and nerve endings. They have a long service life (more than 20 years) and are comfortable to wear, so patients can be sure of a successful treatment outcome. In case of severe types of sensorineural hearing loss, the team of the department's otolaryngologists performs cochlear implantation. The medical facility uses in its clinical practice SYNCHRONY® cochlear implant, which is the most advanced hearing aid available today. In addition to the fact that this implant allows the patient to return hearing and is of the highest quality, its fundamental innovation is the ability for the patient to undergo high-resolution MRI scanning. MRI is usually prohibited in patients with cochlear implants. Due to the high risks to the patient's health, the implant is removed prior to the procedure.
The department also successfully performs nasal and paranasal sinus surgery. The most popular surgical procedures are septorhinoplasty and septoplasty. Both interventions are performed for nasal septum reshaping, including for a deviated septum. The department often performs surgery to remove nasal polyps and tumors. The use of minimally invasive, microsurgical and endoscopic techniques allows the doctors to perform the operations practically without traumatizing healthy tissues, which significantly reduces the period of postoperative recovery for the patient and reduces the severity of pain.
The therapeutic offer in the field of surgical treatment of pathologies of the throat and other organs of the neck includes adenectomy (also in children), tonsillotomy, tonsillectomy, neck dissection, surgery to remove neck cysts and fistulas, operations on the salivary glands and thyroid gland. In addition, the medical facility deals with treatment of obstructive sleep apnea by implanting the innovative Inspire device. The system consists of a breath sensor and a stimulating electrode, which is activated by a small generator. The functioning of the device is controlled using a special remote controller. The Inspire system has been clinically tested and proven to be effective in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. The service life of the device is more than 10 years. The treatment using the Inspire system is indicated for patients with severe sleep disorders. It is an excellent alternative to CPAP therapy.
