OVERVIEW
Oto-rhino-laryngology is one of the earliest clinical departments of FMMC. The Department is adequately staffed with doctors specializing in different sub-specialities like otology, rhinology and head & neck oncology. Post graduation course DNB started in 1992, before undergraduate course MS & DLO in 2000. The intake was one Diploma and two MS per year. From 2020 onwards the intake is three MS Postgraduates per year.
There is a modern OPD setup with well-equipped stations and facilities to do nasal endoscopies and micro ear examinations. Specific disease-related clinics like vertigo and headache clinics are held on pre-specified days. There is a full-fledged audiology unit that ably supports the Department. The Department sees approximately 100-120 patients per day and conducts around 40-60 major and 150-250 minor procedures every month. Mastoid and other microscopic ear surgeries, endoscopic sinus surgeries and head and neck surgeries for benign and malignant diseases are routinely performed. The department also undertakes outreach services like health camps on regular basis.
