Ear, Nose, & Throat (Otolaryngology)
The Section of Pediatric Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose, & Throat) provides high-quality care for infants, children and adolescents with medical and surgical diseases of the ear, nose, sinuses and throat.
St. Christopher's staff of otolaryngologists (ENTs) provides advanced diagnosis and treatment of disorders of human communication, hearing impairment and problems of the pediatric airway and voice.
The section offers comprehensive diagnostic, therapeutic and reconstructive surgical services that are available on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Team members use endoscopic laser surgery to remove various lesions, both neoplastic and inflammatory, from the larynx and major conductive airway.
All team members are specially trained in either laryngotracheal reconstructive surgery, endoscopic sinus surgery and/or ear microsurgery. Looking toward the future, the Section is focusing its research efforts on obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep disorder, the surgical correction of laryngotracheal stenosis, pediatric sinus disease, pediatric voice disorders and care for the hearing-impaired.
