Magnas V ENT Hospital

The doctors, registrars and staff of department of ENT at CMC Vellore focused on the treatment of ear, nose and throat conditions in adults and children. This will include problems in hearing and deafness, ringing in the ears, vertigo (dizziness), noses that are very stuffy or runny all the time, tonsil problems, cancers of the ENT areas etc.

Special Tests and Treatments: Endoscopy: The endoscopy room is situated in the OPD area. About 60 to 70 patients are evaluated each day.

It is staffed with a team of a doctor from the ENT department. Flexible nasopharyngoscopy uses an endoscope whose shape can be changed so it could go around corners.

This is done for patients with problems such as snoring, laryngeal problems causing hoarseness and some throat problems like cancer of the throat. Rigid nasal endoscopy uses an endoscope that does not bend but is straight to look just in the nose.

This is done for patients with nose, sinus and nasopharyngeal problems. The pictures can be seen on a monitor, as there is a tiny video camera on the end of the endoscope.
