About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery at the ViDia Hospital Karlsruhe provides the full range of treatment in the areas of its specialization using modern methods. The medical facility is deservedly proud of its rich history of more than 100 years. In addition, the department is the largest medical center of this kind in southern Germany. The health facility successfully treats common and particularly complex ENT pathologies. The department's medical team also specializes in the treatment of benign and malignant head and neck tumors. In this area, the department is certified in compliance with the requirements of the German Cancer Society (DKG). Plastic surgical procedures on the face and head, including otoplasty, rhinoplasty, and reconstructive interventions for facial nerve paralysis, are also performed in the department's operating rooms. Doctors treat patients of all age groups, from young children to the elderly. Medical care is provided both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. The department's operating rooms are adapted for minimally traumatic endoscopic and microsurgical interventions, after which there are almost unnoticeable scars, which is especially important in facial surgery. Doctors devote enough time to counseling patients and always take into account their needs and wishes. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Serena Preyer.
The department regularly admits patients with ear diseases and hearing loss. The specialists most often perform surgery to resect benign and malignant neoplasms in the outer, middle, and inner ear. The department's otolaryngologists have vast experience in the treatment of Meniere's disease, in which an inflammatory process develops in the inner ear that leads to an increase in the labyrinthine fluid volume and intralabyrinthine pressure. This condition results in progressive deafness, tinnitus, dizziness, and balance disturbances. In most cases, drug therapy is sufficient to cure Meniere's disease, but there are situations when medications do not ensure the desired result. The primary surgical treatment for Meniere's disease is endolymphatic sac decompression. Another focus of the department's doctors is the placement of middle ear implants, such as the Vibrant Soundbridge and Osia, for patients suffering from hearing loss. These implants are usually indicated in clinical cases where conventional external hearing aids do not ensure a good therapeutic effect.
The department's team of otolaryngologists also specializes in the surgical treatment of tumors and malformations of the external nose, including rhinophyma. Surgical interventions on the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are performed in the department's operating rooms. The specialists perform nasal septum repair, nasal polyp removal, drainage of sinus purulent secretions in cases of sinusitis, and resection of nasal cavity tumors. Healthcare professionals perform these operations using endoscopic and microsurgical techniques, ensuring minimal trauma rates and excellent aesthetic results. For nasal concha reduction, a progressive method known as argon plasma coagulation is available. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.
The department offers a wide range of services in the field of head and neck surgery, including the resection of neck cysts and fistulas, surgery to resect benign and malignant tumors of the larynx, pharynx, throat, and salivary glands, and the surgical removal of salivary gland stones. Surgeons also successfully perform the surgical removal of nasopharyngeal and palatine tonsils in children.
The department includes a specialized Center for Head and Neck Cancer Surgery, certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG), so the treatment of head and neck tumors is carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the professional society. The doctors at the center provide comprehensive medical care for patients with oral, lip, throat, nose, ear, salivary gland, facial skin, and neck cancers. A treatment regimen for each patient with cancer is developed within a weekly interdisciplinary tumor board. As a rule, the first step involves the surgical resection of the malignancy, with additional treatment options such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other conservative methods included in the treatment regimen. Surgical interventions are performed using microsurgical or endoscopic laser techniques. Plastic surgeons are also involved in the therapeutic process, if required. Their task is to eliminate appearance defects in the face and/or neck with autologous grafts.
