The Department of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) at Jagannath Gupta Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital (JIMSH) is a comprehensive center for the medical and surgical management of disorders affecting the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck. Given its specialized nature, the department serves as a critical hub for both routine sensory health and complex life-saving surgeries.
Scope of Clinical Services
The department provides expert care across several sub-specialties:
Otology (Ear): Treatment of hearing loss, chronic ear infections (CSOM), and balance disorders. The department utilizes advanced Microscopic Ear Surgery for procedures like Myringoplasty and Tympanoplasty.
Rhinology (Nose): Management of sinusitis, nasal polyps, and deviated nasal septums using Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), which offers a minimally invasive approach to sinus health.
Laryngology (Throat): Diagnosis of voice disorders, swallowing difficulties, and chronic tonsillitis.
Head & Neck Surgery: One of the department's core strengths is the management of benign and malignant tumors of the thyroid, salivary glands, and oral cavity, as well as complex surgeries involving the base of the skull.
Furthermore, the department specializes in Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, addressing congenital anomalies, airway obstructions, and tonsillar hypertrophy in children. Beyond surgical interventions, it offers comprehensive Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology services for rehabilitating patients with speech defects and profound hearing loss.
