About the department
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.

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.
