Within the unit for treatment of ear disease and surgeries, we at the Kaplan Medical Center perform ear surgeries in adults and children, including cochlear implants.
The hospital has a team of therapists of various areas, responsible for locating candidates for the cochlear implant surgery and rehabilitate them after the surgery within the hearing institute of the Kaplan Medical Center. Within the otologic service, we conduct about 2000 doctor’s meetings and about 150 surgeries every year.
The surgeries performed with us:
• Cochlear implant
• Surgeries to correct a puncture in the eardrum and reconstruct the ear bones (timpanoplastics / oscilloplastics)
• Treatment of cholesteatoma (all types of mastoid surgeries)
• Bone-anchored implant (Baha, Bonebridge)
• Surgeries to correct a puncture in the eardrum and fixing the ear bones
• Surgery to improve hearing for patients suffering from autosclerosis (stapedoctomy)
