Ear Nose and Throat Surgery



Background History

The Department of ENT in KEM Hospital is one of the oldest amongst all the ENT departments in the Municipal Corporation Hospitals. It was started by Dr. T.O. Shah who was in fact a general surgeon. This department has set a trend for microsurgical operations of the ear and related fields. It has trained more than 1000 ENT specialists from who now practice in India and abroad in teaching different otological surgeries. Ours is the only department which is conducting a microsurgical ear and endoscopic sinus surgery workshops for more than 2 decades consecutively which is a great achievement for the institution in channelizing the modern concepts of ear surgery and endoscopic sinus surgery to the remotest parts of India. This department is at present being headed by Dr. Hetal Marfatia. We offer services in multiple sub specialties of ENT and train our students to become adept in diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
