Otolaryngology (ENT)

Otolaryngology (ENT) is a medical specialty that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the ear, throat, nose, and related organs. Pathologies of these organs not only cause discomfort, but can also lead to serious complications. Due to the proximity of the ENT organs to the brain, infections or chronic diseases can affect its functioning and significantly worsen health.

KAF medical centers provide comprehensive services for the effective diagnosis and treatment of ENT diseases in both adults and children. The clinic's multidisciplinary approach allows for the involvement of other specializations to develop an optimal treatment plan, which guarantees high results.

KAF's modern laboratory provides fast and accurate diagnostics thanks to express tests and the ability to perform all necessary tests in one place.

When to see an ENT?

You should consult an otolaryngologist if you have the following symptoms:

Difficulty breathing through your nose, nasal discharge

Soreness or prolonged discomfort in your throat, frequent tonsillitis, plaque on your tonsils

A consultation with an ENT doctor is also recommended for a preventive examination for the early detection of possible pathologies.

Diagnosis of ENT diseases in KAF

We use modern methods for the most accurate diagnosis:

Rhinoscopy, pharyngoscopy, otoscopy

Endoscopic examinations of the ear, nose, nasopharynx, larynx

Audiometry and impedancemetry for hearing assessment

Laboratory tests to detect infections

Ultrasound, radiography, computed tomography

Accurate diagnostics allows the ENT specialist to create an individual treatment plan.

Minimally invasive and endoscopic surgeries

At the KAF, otolaryngologists perform the following surgical interventions:

Operations on the nasal cavity:
