Otolaryngology as a speciality is an extremely challenging and emerging arena with the advent of endoscopes and microscopes. The department is headed by Professor & HOD Dr. Kabikanta Samantaray (MS) ENT and Head-Neck Surgery. He is also the ex-vice president of the phonology society of India. The team of ENT surgeons here at KIMS are at the frontier by scaling their surgical skills from conventional methods to the latest endoscopic and radical surgeries. Complex Head and Neck cancer and reconstructive intervention are dealt with utmost care and precision. Furthermore, the newer skull base surgeries for tumours and other pathologies are made possible with skilful and experienced surgeons. The department works in collaboration with other surgical disciplines to aid and improvise patient care.
