The successful activities of the numerous qualified staff at the Top Ihilov Medical Clinic in Israel allow hundreds of thousands of patients to return to the joy of healthy and fulfilling lives each year.
The active use of modern therapeutic protocols, innovative diagnostic methods, excellent equipment of the clinic and research centers have made medicine in Israel exemplary. This is evidenced by the continuous flow of medical tourists from around the world to the clinics in this country. Some patients seek help from Israeli doctors for hearing disorders.
One of the common diseases is cholesteatoma. This condition is caused by the growth of skin cells, accumulation of cholesterol and keratin. In the ear canal, this mass forms a dense conglomerate, leading to dysfunction of the vestibular apparatus, dizziness, facial nerve damage, and hearing loss.
Specialists from the otolaryngology department of the Top Ihilov Medical Center have successfully mastered the performance of minimally invasive procedures using endoscopic microsurgical equipment. Performing endoscopic mastoidectomy allows for the resolution of the cholesteatoma problem. During the operation, parts of the temporal bone and affected adjacent areas will be removed.
Cholesteatoma Treatment at Top Ihilov Clinic
- Performing minimally invasive procedures on the middle ear allows for maximum preservation of the organs. Minimally invasive techniques make it easy to reach hard-to-access areas in the middle ear cavity. At the same time, the facial nerve, cranial membranes, nerves, and vessels in this area are not damaged.
- Such operations significantly reduce the recovery period and minimize the likelihood of complications.
- The endoscopic technique allows avoiding complex, extensive surgery.
- Such interventions at the Top Ihilov Clinic are performed by authoritative specialists in the field of otolaryngology.
