Overview |
In 1944, the Department of Otolaryngology was founded by Dr. Goto as the first chair, followed by Professor Hasegawa (1948-), Professor Yamamoto (1957-), Professor Nakai (1977-), Professor Ymane (1999-) and Professor Iguchi (2015-), Professor Sunami became the seventh professor in 2019. Otolaryngology deals with organs connected directly with life that we use to sense things and express ourselves, and impairment of these organs often creates great difficulty in our lives. The main target diseases are head and neck tumors, nasal and paranasal sinus disease, otitis media, dizziness, hearing loss, tinnitus, voice disorders, swallowing disorders, sleep apnea syndrome, olfactory disorders, taste disorders and facial paralysis. We opened a head and neck tumor clinic, dizziness clinic, chronic otitis media clinic, hearing loss and tinnitus clinic, hearing aid clinic and sleep apnea syndrome clinic as specialized outpatient clinics. In Osaka, our hospital is a cancer-based hospital, and our focus for treatment and research is head and neck cancer. We perform minimally invasive and radical cancer treatment with the surgery, plastic surgery, brain surgery, gastrointestinal medicine and radiation therapy departments. We strive to offer good medical care and apply the results of our research back to clinical practice. |
