ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat)
 

What is ENT?
ENT stands for Ear, Nose and Throat, and describes the department which specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head and neck disorders.


ENT at University Hospital
University Hospital treats local patients and patients from a wider area, including Shropshire and Derbyshire.

Although all the ENT consultants at University Hospital are trained surgeons who can perform a wide range of operations, they also offer non-surgical treatments for conditions such as allergic rhinitis (allergy of the nose) and balance disorders.

Services we Provide
A comprehensive service for both adults and children, which includes both planned and emergency treatment.

• Rhinology (disorders of the nose) - a full range of surgical procedures including endoscopic sinus surgery and facial plastic surgery.

• Otology (disorders of the ear) - a comprehensive Otology service offering surgical and medical treatments. This includes a specialist BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid) programme.

• Paediatric ENT (disorders in children) - the ENT team are fully trained in diagnosing and treating childhood ENT conditions.

• A specialist service for pituitary tumour surgery, provided by our Clinical Lead, Mr Carlin. This includes the provision of endoscopic surgery, a highly specialised procedure which is minimally invasive. This service is provided by very few other centres, and we receive referrals countrywide. (Minimally invasive surgery involves procedures performed by entering the skin through small incisions or a body cavity with the aims of causing the least possible damage to structures while achieving the same result as if performed by open surgery)

• Dedicated ENT Ward. Unlike many organisations, we have dedicated wards for adults (Ward 107) and children (Ward 106). Specially trained staff are available with specialist equipment.
    

Useful Information
We operate a consultant led service where your care will always be under a named consultant.

When you come for your initial appointment in Central Outpatients, (Hartshill Road, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire), you will see a specialist ENT surgeon who will diagnose your condition and arrange the appropriate investigations before starting your treatment .
