Unique technological facilities, combined with the scientific and clinical experience and expertise of the medical staff, give us the opportunity to provide a broad spectrum of services to our patients. These include intensive tinnitus treatment, voice treatment, minimally-invasive sinus surgery, and reconstructive microsurgery of the ear to improve hearing in cases of chronic middle ear inflammations and otosclerosis. |
The best results are achieved when applying innovative treatments, for example systems for navigated surgery in the head and throat area, thus increasing the precision of surgical interference to the maximum and allowing for the removal of tumors otherwise inaccessible. In addition, the application of navigational systems minimizes the risk of causing damage to adjacent tissues. The combination of systems for navigated surgery and lasers is also possible.
Exceptionally equipped in-patient wards at the Department of Otolaryngology have comfortable rooms with wonderful views over the dormant volcano of the Kaiserstuhl and the French mountain range of the Vosges. A convenient and pleasant hotel atmosphere, as well as the efficiency and genuine friendliness of our staff, play an important role for the well-being of our patients.
