The ENT Surgery Department at Foch Hospital brings together a team of highly specialized experts, particularly in two areas: ENT oncology and phoniatrics. Advanced equipment is used for comprehensive patient care.
The department performs minimally invasive surgical procedures, reconstructive surgeries, including on the vocal cords, often in collaboration with other specialists for a multidisciplinary approach.
In phoniatrics, the team applies the latest techniques, such as office-based laryngology performed under local anesthesia in awake patients.
The department has received the European Phoniatrics Doctor Vox Professional Award from the European Union of Phoniatrics and the 1st prize from the ORL75 Association.
Head of Department: Professor Stéphane HANS.
