Overview

Services

The Otolaryngology department specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the ear, nose, and throat, as well as other issues related to the head and neck. This department is equipped with advanced medical technology and software, emphasizing precision medicine and smart healthcare, which provide a wide range of treatment options for patients.
All physicians in the department have undergone extensive specialized training at medical centers, acquiring substantial professional knowledge and clinical experience. They hold teaching positions recognized by the Ministry of Education, and their expertise and skills align with the standards established by these medical centers.
The physicians also regularly attend international otolaryngology conferences, where they present pertinent research findings. Through these global academic exchanges, they acquire new medical knowledge and introduce innovative technologies and concepts, thereby enhancing the department’s expertise in the field.

Currently, fixed research projects are conducted annually in collaboration with the National Defense Medical Center, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei Medical University, Chung Tai University of Science and Technology, and Chien Hsin University of Science and Technology.
In addition to their extensive clinical experience, the physicians actively participate in international academic conferences to present papers, sharing the hospital’s research outcomes on a global scale. They also engage in academic exchanges with international experts to enhance medical knowledge. The most recent conference was the European Otolaryngology Congress in 2024.
In the past three years, the department’s physicians have published a total of 14 international academic papers. Of these, four are ranked in the top 50%, and another four in the top 20%, demonstrating the high quality of research recognized by international journals.

Conditions may include dizziness, ear pain, tinnitus, inflammation of the external auditory canal, otitis media, middle ear effusion, foreign bodies in the external ear, hearing impairment, and facial nerve paralysis.
Our department has recently acquired the latest ear microscopes and endoscopes, which facilitate a range of otological surgeries and actively promote minimally invasive endoscopic middle ear procedures. This advancement significantly reduces both operation time and postoperative care requirements.
The primary equipment used in otology includes devices for assessing middle ear function, auditory brainstem responses, advanced vestibular optokinetic systems, multifrequency middle ear analyzers, hearing assessment tools, Eustachian tube testing devices, and postural sway testing instruments.

Conditions that may affect the nasal passages include nosebleeds, nasal congestion, a runny nose, postnasal drip, nasal allergies, nasal deformities, nasal polyps, turbinate hypertrophy, a deviated septum, and olfactory disorders.
Our department extensively utilizes minimally invasive endoscopic imaging systems for nasal surgeries and has introduced a state-of-the-art 3D stereotactic navigation surgical system. This system enhances surgical precision, minimizes incisions, and reduces the risk of complications.
We have developed innovative nasal surgical techniques that result in minimal postoperative pain and promote faster recovery. Furthermore, our practices in nasal plastic surgery align with industry advancements and have garnered significant recognition for their exceptional treatment outcomes.
The primary equipment used in rhinology includes 3D sinus endoscope systems, stereotactic navigation surgical systems, powered rotary knife systems (microdebriders), and nasal laser systems.

Conditions such as sore throat, tonsillitis, foreign bodies in the throat, oral ulcers, oral lesions, hoarseness, tongue disorders, swallowing difficulties, snoring, sleep apnea, sensation of foreign bodies in the larynx, and dysphagia are all associated with issues in the throat and oral cavity.
Our department is equipped with high-definition digital recording devices for laryngeal stroboscopy, microsurgical instruments for laryngeal procedures, and tools for autologous fat treatment of the vocal cords.

Otolaryngology tumors encompass those found in the nose, nasopharynx, oral cavity, tongue, pharynx, larynx, vocal cords, salivary glands, and thyroid. All of these tumors can be effectively managed.
If a tumor is confirmed to be cancerous, our hospital has a specialized cancer team that offers a comprehensive approach, integrating surgery with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Our team upholds a high standard of professionalism and expertise, utilizing techniques and experience that are comparable to those found in leading medical centers.
Additionally, our hospital is a leader in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), utilizing TrueBeam technology and high-pulse laser surgical instruments. We are also advancing cell therapy and immunotherapy to develop precision medicine.

Sleep apnea, a prevalent condition in contemporary society, is evaluated through various sleep physiology tests and anesthetic-induced sleep endoscopy. Comprehensive assessments are conducted prior to treatment, enabling personalized medical care tailored to each patient’s unique circumstances.
The primary equipment includes 3D endoscopes and ultra-pulse dual-output fiber optic CO₂ laser systems, which are utilized for advanced minimally invasive surgeries.

Continue to advance research and innovation, develop precision medicine, and provide services and techniques that are on par with those offered by leading medical centers.
Develop radiofrequency ablation surgery for the thyroid and balloon dilation surgery for the Eustachian tube to improve the accessibility of medical services.
Offer professional speech therapy services focused on swallowing and voice rehabilitation for patients with head and neck cancer, and voice therapy for individuals with vocal cord disorders.
