Our Operations

Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) and Plastic Surgery is a joint surgical department for the areas of ear, nose, and throat diseases as well as plastic surgery. The staff consists of operating room nurses and nursing assistants who work within both specialties in close collaboration with the maxillofacial surgeon and the anesthesia department. Examples of procedures performed include surgery for cleft lip, jaw, and palate, breast and head-neck reconstructions, skin transplantation for severe burns, and facial injury surgeries. We perform advanced rhinology, laser surgery, and bronchoscopy as well as basic surgeries such as tonsillectomies and outpatient procedures under local anesthesia. We also have two operating rooms where otologic surgeries such as cochlear implants and myringoplasty are performed. Our patients are both children and adults from all over the country, but primarily patients from Central Sweden. The department has a total of seven operating rooms. Burn patients are operated on in the operating room located in the burn intensive care unit.
