Office based surgery

Office based surgery

Many surgical interventions need not be performed in general anesthesia. Painless surgery can be offered as office based endoscopic interventions without sedation (e.g. biopsies, injections, excisions, selective laser surgery and more).

With a state-of-the-art video endoscopy, surgery can be performed at the dental chair and without pain (e.g. sampling, injection). Since the beginning of our phonosurgical activity, we have placed the greatest emphasis on performing procedures on the vocal folds under local anesthesia. Whether removal of tissue, modeling of the vocal folds with implants, laser surgical applications or injections with medications – all procedures possible today are offered at our clinic and also performed in large numbers.

Special skills and medical competence are the mainstay for a successful surgical outcome – and after many thousands of operations and interventions we stand for highest quality in phonosurgical performance and qualification.

As a consequence of longstanding expertise we put much effort in training ENT colleagues and surgeons in many of our international courses, workshops and conferences.
