About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery at the University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with ENT diseases. The department is also competent in performing surgery for head and neck malignant tumors: cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, skull base, facial skin, soft tissues of the neck and other cancers. The main areas of the department's clinical activities include diagnostics and treatment of hearing loss, cochlear implantation, surgical interventions on the salivary glands and thyroid glands, treatment of diseases of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. The department also has an outpatient clinic for phoniatrics and treatment of hearing loss in children. To provide comprehensive treatment, the department has 50 beds, four modern operating rooms and a sleep laboratory. The department annually admits more than 3,000 inpatients, and more than 28,000 outpatients. The experienced team of the department's doctors has deep knowledge in their area of specialization and professionally deals even with the most complex clinical cases. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Barbara Wollenberg.
Special attention in the department's clinical activity is paid to the diagnostics and treatment of head and neck malignancies. Patients with this diagnosis receive medical care in a highly specialized center certified by the German Cancer Society. The therapeutic process is preceded by comprehensive diagnostics, including clinical examination, laboratory tests, imaging tests (CT, MRI, PET). With all the diagnostic results obtained, otolaryngologists and specialists in related fields gather for an interdisciplinary board, during which they develop an individual treatment regimen. Doctors competently combine various treatment methods: surgery, including plastic reconstructive surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and other types of treatment.
Another important area of work of the medical facility is the diagnostics and treatment of hearing loss with the implantable hearing aids (BAHA, Vibrant Soundbridge), as well as cochlear implantation. The department's doctors have over 30 years of experience in the field of cochlear implantation in adults and children. Cochlear implantation is indicated for patients with severe hearing loss when other treatment methods are ineffective. The surgery to place a cochlear implant is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the intervention is 1-2 hours. After the operation, professional rehabilitation is required to set up the device.
Since 2009, the department has been running a special hearing screening program for newborns. The examination uses such techniques as pure-tone threshold audiometry and speech audiometry, tympanometry, acoustic reflex assessment, brainstem electric response audiometry (BERA), recording of brainstem auditory evoked potential, etc. Should hearing loss be diagnosed in a child, he will receive the appropriate treatment.
The department's medical team successfully performs surgical interventions for nasal and paranasal sinus diseases, interventions for skull base pathologies and deformities, as well as facial plastic surgery. When performing operations, surgeons use the very latest computer-assisted technologies and navigation systems in order to guarantee patients not only a high-quality outcome, but also a high safety of surgical treatment.

The medical facility includes 33 specialized departments and 20 interdisciplinary centers, where patients can receive top-class medical care in all medical fields.
The hospital annually admits more than 65,000 inpatients for diagnostics and treatment, and about 250,000 outpatients receive effective medical care. The hospital also performs more than 40,000 surgical procedures every year, and about 2,100 babies are born here annually. One of the most significant achievements of the medical facility can be called the first transplantation of both arms above the elbow performed in 2008. The surgery that lasted 15 hours, and in which 40 doctors of various medical specialties took part, became a real sensation in the scientific world. Thanks to a unique surgical procedure, the doctors managed to give the patient new hands.
In addition, the employees of the hospital are actively involved in research activities, in which they study various diseases, as well as develop new therapeutic options for their treatment. It should be noted that the research institutes of the hospital are among the most reputable research organizations in the world. A striking example can be considered the Roman Herzog Comprehensive Cancer Center, whose specialists cooperate closely with the Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich in order to find new treatment methods for cancers.
The university hospital has a strict quality management system to maintain a high level of patient care. Since 2011, the hospital has been certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 at the national and international level. The medical facility was also recertified by TÜV Rheinland in 2020.
