The combination of modern technology at the Department with continuous expansion of knowledge of the specialists can effectively cover the treatment of the whole range of ENT diseases.
Much attention is paid to the integrated functional diagnostics of ENT pathologies. The proper and timely diagnostics allows avoiding of postoperative complications, unnecessary surgical interventions.
In the department of ENT the planned surgical intervention of the patients with pathology of the nasal cavity, sinuses, pharynx and larynx are performed alongside with emergency cases that provided in the round-the-clock manner..
The surgical intervention is carried out with the use of modern methodology and often the minimally invasive techniques. Endoscopic intervention in the treatment of diseases of the nose, sinuses, larynx and pharynx, microsurgical hearing aid and sanitizing operations in the ear, sanitizing operations in inflammatory processes of the ENT organs and the neck area, functional surgery for facial injuries, surgical treatment of cancer in the upper respiratory tract, treatment of purulent diseases of ENT organs carried out in accordance with the newest medical technologies, providing a minimum of trauma during the surgical intervention and rapid postoperative recovery of patients.
In recent years, the ENT Department of MC Erebouni fruitfully continued international cooperation with leading clinics in Europe, Asia and America. The founder of the clinic - Prof. E-H. Garabedian since its foundation to the present time promotes the implementation in Armenia many modern methods of research, diagnosis and treatment. The specialists from the Department often pass their training and specialization at the leading by Prof. E-H. Garabedian clinics (ENT clinics at the hospitals Trousseau Necker in Paris).
Since 2004 thanks to the joint program with UCLA under the management of leading UCLA ottosurgeon specialist Akira Ishiyama, as well as with the participation of the AIM Foundation, leded by Salbi Agarakyan the cochlear implantation program was introduced in Armenia. So far, in the ENT department was performed cochlear implantation surgery for 96 patients, 17of which were adults, other children. Operated children talk, go to school. Results of performed surgery in line with international indexеs.
According to the State Program approved in 2008 Ministry of Health of the Republic of Armenia (Minister - prof.A.M. Kushkian) the audio screening of newborns is performed at the maternity hospitals in Yerevan within their first 48-72 hours of life. In case of deviations from normal hearing indexes the child is involved in a program of follow-up and examined at 3 and 6 months of life. After the formulation of a diagnosis within 6 months of rehabilitation work begins with a small patient.
The further development of these programs has greatly contributed by the staff of hospitals and medical centers, led by prof. E-H. Garabedian and prof. GA Tavartkiladze. The specialists from ENT Department of Erebouni MC periodically pass specialization (topical issues of cochlear implantation and hearing screening of newborns) at the Russian Research Center for Audiology and Hearing Aids of Federal Medical-Biological Agency of the Russian Federation under the leadership of prof. G.A.Tavartkiladze. In 2012 Prof. E.-N. Garabedyan and G.A.Tavartkiladze had been elected Honorary Doctor of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia. At the initiative of prof.
