Otorhinolaryngology
(ENT Surgery)
We have a competently equipped unit with a skilled team of Surgeons who diagnose, evaluate and manage a wide range of diseases of the head and neck, including the ear, nose and throat regions.
Our specialists perform extremely delicate operations to restore hearing of the middle ear, open blocked airways, remove head, neck, and throat cancers, and rebuild these essential structures.
Common ENT Disorders that may require ENT surgery include the following:
- Frequent Ear Infections with Puss disorders
- Frequent Sinus Pain or Infections: Deviated septum (when the wall between your nostrils is not straight or is off center, so that one nostril is bigger than the other)
- Throat problems
- Vocal Cord Disorders
- Tonsillitis (Infection of your Tonsils, two pads of tissue at the back of your throat)
- Swallowing Disorders
- Head or Neck tumors
- Injuries to the face
IHK has also partnered with Kampala Audiology and Speech Center to introduced Cochlear Implant surgery in Uganda. A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that electrically stimulates the cochlear nerve (nerve for hearing). This procedure is available for the management of severe-to-profound Sensorineural hearing loss.
