The Department of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) specialises in the diagnosis, medical management, and surgical treatment of disorders related to the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. ENT conditions affect patients of all age groups and range from common infections to complex structural and functional disorders. The department provides comprehensive care for diseases of hearing, balance, voice, speech, breathing, swallowing, and facial structures. Ear-related services include evaluation and treatment of ear infections, hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and balance disorders. Advanced diagnostic facilities such as audiometry, impedance testing, and vestibular assessments support accurate diagnosis. Medical and surgical management of conditions like chronic otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation, otosclerosis, and inner ear disorders is routinely performed, with a focus on hearing preservation and rehabilitation.

Nasal and sinus services address conditions such as allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated nasal septum, epistaxis, and nasal obstruction. The department is equipped to perform endoscopic sinus surgery and other minimally invasive procedures that ensure faster recovery, reduced discomfort, and improved outcomes. Allergy evaluation and long-term management plans are also integral to patient care.

Throat and laryngeal services include treatment of tonsillitis, adenoid hypertrophy, voice disorders, swallowing difficulties, and throat infections. Specialised care is provided for professional voice users, with voice assessment and therapy in collaboration with speech and language therapists. Head and neck services cover the evaluation of neck swellings, thyroid disorders, salivary gland diseases, and tumours of the head and neck region, supported by imaging and biopsy services.

The ENT department functions with a multidisciplinary approach, working closely with audiology, speech therapy, paediatrics, oncology, and radiology. With modern equipment, skilled specialists, and patient-centred care, the department aims to restore function, relieve symptoms, and enhance overall quality of life.
