About the department
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.

About hospital
According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the University Hospital Jena regularly ranks among the top German medical facilities!
The hospital has positioned itself as a multidisciplinary medical facility with a long history of more than 200 years. Since its foundation, the hospital has been constantly developing and modernizing, thanks to which nowadays it offers patients the highest level of treatment in Germany based on the use of innovative technologies and the very latest therapeutic techniques. The hospital consists of 26 specialized departments and 25 research institutes. It treats more than 53,600 inpatients and about 274,000 outpatients every year. The staff of the hospital includes more than 5,600 competent doctors.
The extensive resources of the university hospital, high treatment standards, and the introduction of new research developments provide first-class treatment in Germany meeting the stringent international standards. The hospital has an excellent reputation not only in Germany, but also far beyond its borders, due to which it accepts a large number of foreign patients for the diagnostics and treatment.
Despite the technical progress and the availability of accurate computerized systems, the patient’s physical health and emotional state is the main value of each employee of the hospital, since some diagnoses cause emotional distress in patients. The doctors of the hospital believe that the key to a successful result is a comprehensive and individual approach, so they spend a lot of time talking with patients, listen carefully to all their wishes and support at all stages of the therapeutic process. All this in combination with high-precision diagnostic techniques and the very latest types of therapy forms a solid basis for the achievement of an optimal treatment result.
