Medical Field:
ENT, Otorhinolaryngology
As part of the University Clinic Regensburg – a clinic of the maximum
care level – the ENT-Clinic offers the entire medical spectrum of the
operative and non-operative ENT-medicine.
Main Focus: >> ENT Surgery
The University ENT Clinic concentrates on three surgical areas:



Microsurgery (of the middle ear, the skull base and the paranasal
sinuses)
the large tumour surgery and
the regional plastic and aesthetic surgery.
It is this combination of microsurgery, large surgery and reconstructive
surgery that makes the field of ENT so attractive.
We are dealing with four sense organs




the sense of hearing
the sense of balance
the sense of smell and
the sense of taste
>> Medical Services:
Middle Ear Surgery:
The surgery of the middle ear has three main goals: namely the lasting closure
of the ear drum, the removal of the chronic infection and the improvement of
hearing.
- Otosclerosis
- Implantable bone conduction hearing aids
- partially implantable hearing aids

Surgery of the Pinna (outer ear):
- Surgical correction of protruding ears (“jug ears”)
- Tumours of the pinna: Basalioma
Surgery of the nose and paranasal sinuses
- The inflammatory diseases of the paranasal sinuses
are primarily treated with endonasal-endoscopic or
microscopic surgery within the scope of the functional,
endoscopic paranasal sinuses surgery.
In addition, we also use the balloon sinuplasty technique, especially for the
frontal and the sphenoid sinus.
Esthetic and reconstructive Surgery
- The spectrum of the medically indicated surgical interventions includes
reconstructive surgeries of the outer ear/ pinna (microtia surgery) and
extensive facial malformations. Also the functional correction of the nose and
the otoplasty (“ear pinning”) of protruding ears present a central aspect of
plastic facial surgery. A correction of the eyelids in combination with a lift of
the forehead, the cheak and the neck area can considerably ease the
consequences of a paralysis of the facial nerve (facial nerve paresis).
- Correction of the nose (rhinoplasty)
- Correction of the ears (otoplasty)
- Face Lift
- Scar correction
- Endoscopic forehead lift
- Blepharoplasty
- Liposculpture
- Botulinum-Toxin
- Juvederm / Restylane
- (Re)construction of the outer ear/pinna (Microtia)
Surgery of the salivary glands
- Diseases of the salivary glands (lower jaw- , under the tongue-, parotid
glands) often require surgical treatment especially in cases of chronic
inflammation and tumour growth. Thereby the parotid gland, due to its close
connection to the facial nerve, has an exceptional position. With the aid of
intraoperative monitoring of the facial nerve we are able to reduce the risk of
facial nerve damage to a minimum. 70% of salivary gland tumours are benign;
in those cases, only the defective part of the gland is removed in order not to
unnecessarily expose the nerve branches of the facial to any risk of damage.

>> Diagnosis and Therapy:
3

Diagnosis and therapy of voice disorders (dysphonia)

Diagnosis and treatment of organic and functional dysphonia

Voice improving surgical interventions, also under local anesthesia.
E.g. Collagen Hyaluronic Acid lining, fat augmentations, Botulinum
Toxin injections in cases of spasmodic dysphonia, Cidofovir application
in case of larynxpapillomatosis

Medical care for patients without larynx: Initiation of alternative voice,
placing of cannula after tracheotomy, speech valves

Assessment of the vocal function (speaking voice, singing voice) for
language professions using laryngoscopy, stroboscopy, high speed
glottography (HSG), electromyography, voice field measurement,
auditive and acoustic voice analysis, voice stress test, respiratory
function test, computer-assisted analysis of the respiration in speech,
measurement of subglottic air pressure

Diagnosis and therapy of swallowing problems (dysphagia).
Diagnosis and therapy by means of endoscopic procedures: treatment
of organically, structurally, neurogenically conditioned disphagia as
well as of eating, sucking, chewing disorders of children.

Diagnostic methods are refined in order to more precisely locate place
and type of the functional disorder. Therapeutic measures, such as for
example the identification of the correct posture of body and head. Are
determined on the basis of scientific clinical findings.

Looking after patients in the intensive care unit: patients in this unit are
generally nourished artificially. We try our best to find the earliest
possible time to begin oral nourishment.

Diagnosis and therapy of speech and language disorders in case of
neurologic diseases

Aphasia

Dysarthria

Dysarthrophonia

Apraxia


speech disorders in children





