ENT
The department of ENT is one of the most well equipped departments of Dr. SMCSI MCH, with experienced faculty and instruments. The department has adjusted well with the advancement of medical technology. With the advent of modern day telescopes and operating microscopes, the department now handles various ear-nose-throat and neck disorders efficiently and precisely. All faculty members hone their skills through periodical participation in conferences, CMEs and workshops.
ENT department offers clinical treatment in the following broad areas:
Otology: Management of all ear diseases in adults and children, including offering a wide range of surgical services like tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, stapedotomy, stapedectomy, cochlear implants etc. Management of facial nerve paralysis is also addressed.
Rhinology: The department manages most of the rhinological diseases including sinusitis and benign nasal masses by nasal endoscopy. We perform difficult frontal and sphenoid sinus surgeries routinely with superior results.
Laryngology: We provide solutions to voice problems ably supported by a speech pathologist – therapist. Microlaryngeal surgeries are routinely performed.
Audiology: Audiology offers wide range of services like Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA),Tympanometry, Oto-Acoustic Emission (OAE), Brain-stem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) and auditory rehabilitation.
Teaching and Academic Activities
The department imparts teaching and practical training to 150 MBBS students per year. This includes theory classes, clinical teaching, seminars and skills lab teaching. The students are subjected to periodic formative and summative assessments. Students and peer feedback on faculty teaching is reviewed and necessary course corrections made.
We also offer Post-graduate training in ENT leading to the award of Masters Degree (MS ENT). The annual intake of 2 post-graduates (2 seats recognized by Medical Council of India), are subjected to intensive clinical training involving seminars, case presentations, journal clubs, guest lectures, thesis reviews, intra departmentalcgroup discussions, clinico-pathological and clinico-radiological group discussions and hands on surgical training.
Departmental Research Lab : There is a well equipped temporal bone lab with Operating Microscope, Temporal bone holder, Micro motor drills with drill bits and suction are available.
Classroom / Demonstration room : Equipped with projector and screen.
Museum : With charts, specimens and models.

- Deafness Screening Camp : We conduct camps in various villages of Trivandrum and Kanyakumari to identify people with deafness to provide primary, secondary and tertiary care. This deafness can be identified at an early stage so that treatment and rehabilitation can be instituted at appropriate time. Surgeries are conducted without compromising the quality of surgery and at an afoordable cost. Patients who cannot afford are treated free of cost.
- The school screening programmes mainly focus on the detection and correction of children with hearing loss and rehabilitation with hearing auds or even surgical interventions if necessary.
The department of ENT aims to reduce preventable deafness in the community along with treatment of diseases pertaining to ear, nose, throat and head & neck. It has now grown into a tertiary centre providing comprehensive services to the community irrespective of caste, creed and religion.
