Otorhinolaryngology in VIRTUS Institute

Why VIRTUS?

Welcome to one of the most advanced otorhinolaryngology departments of Ukraine! Here we apply not only modern conservative surgery techniques and their combinations but also the innovative technologies of the future – the cell-based and gene therapy.

We specialize in the minimally invasive surgical operations on ears, throat, nose and neck. We treat the empty nose syndrome and perform a snoring surgery. Here we perform operations in the clinic and the out-patient procedures under general or local anaesthesia.

Our goal is to make treatment in the Otorhinolaryngology Department of VIRTUS as comfortable as possible – our patients, irrespective of age, easily survive even full-scale surgery.

In the operating room of VIRTUS major corrective and neo-plasty operations of the ENT organs, head and neck are performed. We know how to restore hearing and voice and remove neoplasms of various etymology with the use of minimally invasive methods. Corrective and neo-plasty operations on head and neck as well as reconstruction of the facial skeleton make a considerable part of our ENT surgeons’ practice. Likewise we regularly perform simultaneous operations, that is we achieve several goals in the course of a single operation.

For each specific pathology we are ready to propose the optimum solution – our clinic provides the vast array of possibilities to treat ENT diseases. The principal conditions in choosing the strategy are: proved effectiveness, minimal injury and patient’s safety.

The VIRTUS surgeons have mastered to the uttermost the newest surgical techniques that enable to perform ENT operations of any complexity:

• Endoscopic surgery
• Laser surgery
• Radio wave surgery
• Shavering method
• Cold plasma сoblation method

ENT organs surgery is comparable with jewellery work. Doctors have to work with the tiniest and most fragile structures and the treatment procedures have to be made in small areas. It is the expert level apparatus provided in VIRTUS operating rooms that allow of avoiding injuries of the neighbouring tissues and minimize the intervention area. It reduces blood losses and alleviates pain sensations, excludes a risk of complications with the patients and cuts short the period of post-operative recovery.

ENT operations in VIRTUS are the one-day surgery

All ENT operations are performed with the aid of endoscopic equipment which enables for the video camera to reach the most poorly accessible parts and make procedures there with the aid of special micro instruments doing it accurately and non-bloody: clean and wash a cavity or make the bone changes even. Such equipment is of special significance when operating children, e.g., when using a high-frequency electric coagulator we are able to remove adenoids or neoplasms very delicately.

Endoscopic equipment is also applied for diagnosing ENT organs. With the aid of a special thin probe – an endoscope equipped with optical systems the doctor examines the zone in question while the system displays the magnified image where the doctor can see what may not be notices at a common examination. This procedure is painless and does not use a dangerous irradiation.

In our operating rooms there is the equipment made by the leading world manufacturers. Unconditionally it makes VIRTUS a leading clinic in the ENT disease treatment.

Surgery is performed under the absolute sterile conditions with adherence to the European standards of surgery. Local or general anaesthesia is applied for pain relief. The patient’s condition is controlled by VIRTUS anaesthesiologists from the commencement of the operation and until its final stage. We are sure that safety, comfort and sense of well-being of patients are the key priorities in our work.

In order to meet the highest requirements of the modern ENT surgery, we may not be satisfied with what has already been achieved. It is necessary to train on a continuous basis, master and implement the most advanced techniques. Therefore our doctors are permanent participants of international conferences and upgrade their skills in the leading world clinics.

In the majority of instances a patient goes home on the day of the operation. Whenever we treat the age-dependent patients we deal with the co-morbid diseases such as, for instance, hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Then, in order to stabilize the patient’s condition, we may advise to stay in the clinic for up to two days.

The VIRTUS in-patient department means comfortable wards provided with all necessities for a rapid recovery. The patients are continuously supervised by the medical staff until we are completely sure that the convalescing person goes home in an absolutely comfortable condition.
