Welcome to the SIVUH Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery (ENT) Website

Introduction

Welcome to ENT (Otolaryngology) Department at the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital (SIVUH).

Our ENT surgeons (Otolaryngologists) have gained national recognition for their expertise and innovation in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the ears, nose and throat and tumours of the head and neck. 

We see over 16,000 patients per year in our outpatient department (OPD) and perform over 3,000 theatre procedures per year in SIVUH. Our casualty department sees over 3,000 patients per year. We treat over 25% of all Head & Neck cancers nationally. We see more new patients per month than any other ENT department in Ireland.

SIVUH Otolaryngologists work in a multidisciplinary approach, so our patients benefit from the expertise of multiple specialists.  Our clinical team of doctors, audiologists, speech and language therapists, nurses and radiologists collaborate to devise tailored treatment plans to optimise patient outcomes.  Our team are dedicated to delivering comprehensive and compassionate care using the safest therapies with the goal of advancing and restoring our patients’ wellbeing. 

We provide an OPD service Monday to Friday 0800 to 1700 and offer 24 hour on call service out of hours. Our casualty department is an appointment based service (not a walk-in clinic). We run 5 ENT casualty sessions per week.
