Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology
Specialized in: adult and pediatric otolaryngology About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at University Hospital Jena
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at the University Hospital Jena offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the ear, nose and throat in accordance with the very latest medical standards. The department has been carrying out successful clinical activities for more than 120 years, and therefore it has a wealth of experience, effective therapies and unique developments in its area of specialization. The department has 48 beds, as well as 3 state-of-the-art operating rooms for various surgical interventions. In addition, the department is a certified Head and Neck Cancer Center (certificate of the German Cancer Aid "Deutsche Krebshilfe"). The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Orlando Guntinas-Lichius.
The surgical treatment of otolaryngologic diseases is provided using the cutting-edge technical devices, such as surgical microscopes, laser systems, devices for nerve ending stimulation in case of problems with the facial nerve, high definition (HD + 4K) flexible and rigid endoscopes, miniature endoscopes for salivary gland endoscopy, devices for argon plasma coagulation, neuronavigation computer systems in salivary gland endoscopy, etc.
The special department’s activities include the treatment of hearing impairment in children. The department's specialists have excellent qualifications in cochlear implantation, including adaptation of speech processes after the implantation of a cochlear implant. In the field of pediatric otolaryngology, the department's physicians most often deal with such pathologies as otitis, polyps, adenoids, hearing impairments in children, cleft lip and palate. Also, the tasks of pediatric otolaryngologists include hearing screening in newborns, which allows the doctors to exclude or confirm hearing problems, and eliminate them as soon as possible. The Section of Phoniatrics and Pedaudiology treats voice and speech disorders associated with the hearing impairments of perception and information processing, as well as deafness in adults in one and two ears.
