Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery
Specialized in: adult and pediatric otolaryngology, head and neck surgery About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at Rambam Health Care Campus Haifa
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at the Rambam Health Care Campus Haifa offers the full range of comprehensive diagnostics and effective treatment for diseases of the nasal cavity, maxillary sinuses, ears, mouth, pharynx, as well as benign and malignant tumors of the head, neck and skull base. The department provides its services to patients of all age groups. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Ziv Gil.
The surgical treatment is performed using the most advanced and innovative techniques. For example, the department actively uses minimally invasive interventions, which preserve organs and prevent damage to the healthy tissues. It also performs progressive robot-assisted interventions. The most complicated operations to remove neoplasms localized in hard-to-reach areas can be performed through natural openings, for example, through the nasal or oral cavity. Such surgical procedures are performed using the da Vinci surgical system.
The department is the absolute leader in the treatment of nasal tumors, endoscopic removal of brain tumors and minimally invasive removal of skull base tumors. Such operations are performed by the team of specialists led by leading surgeons of the department and in collaboration with neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons and maxillofacial surgeons.
