About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at the University Hospital Freiburg offers treatment of all diseases of the throat, nose and ear at the highest university level. Treatment of patients with cancer is provided within the framework of the certified Center for Head and Neck Cancer. The department also specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of congenital and acquired hearing loss and deafness, diseases of the skull base and orbit, voice pathologies, hearing and speech disorders in children, a wide range of allergic diseases, etc. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Andreas Knopf.
The treatment of patients with head and neck cancers is one of the clinical priorities of the department. It is provided within the framework of the certified interdisciplinary Center for Head and Neck Cancer (at the Interdisciplinary Cancer Center Freiburg). With the certificate of the German Cancer Society, the department is one of 12 leading Cancer Centers in Germany. The department has an experienced team of surgical oncologists and offers the full range of surgical treatments of head and neck tumors, including reconstructive interventions and treatment with epitheses to restore the appearance and function of the affected organ. The use of computerized surgical navigation and nerve monitoring systems contributes to the provision of optimal treatment and the best possible patient safety.
Skull base surgery is another important focus of the department. If indicated, surgical interventions are performed for benign and malignant tumors or traumas of the external, central and lateral base of the skull. Close collaboration with the Department of Neuroradiology is of crucial importance for surgery planning. Tumor size and process localization are determined by CT and/or MRI, MR angiography, digital subtraction angiography. If necessary, selective embolization of the affected vessels or therapeutic vascular occlusion is also included in surgical planning. Thus, surgical risks and intraoperative blood loss are minimized, thanks to which in most cases patients do not require blood transfusion.
The range of the department’s diagnostic and therapeutic services includes:
- Auditory brainstem implant (ABI) installation
- Treatment of the acoustic neuroma
- Cochlear implantation

All departments and institutes of the hospital take an active part in fundamental researches of international scale, due to which patients have access to the very latest achievements of medicine, advanced diagnostic methods, state-of-the-art medical equipment and proven effective methods of therapy.
The hospital has a variety of medical achievements, for example, the world's first TIPS procedure, the first implantation of the Jarvik-2000 artificial heart in Europe, the first robotic-assisted surgery on the brain, and the first combined cardiopulmonary transplantation in the land of Baden-Württemberg. In 2004, the University Hospital Freiburg became the first German hospital, which performed kidney transplantation in the incompatibility of blood groups.
