Department of Maxillary Facial and Otorhinolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery is one of the largest head and neck cancer units in China. It has been evolved from the department of head and neck surgery in Tianjin cancer hospital led by Professor Shuling Li who was one of the founders in head and neck cancer field in China.

Surgery treatments of tumor in maxillary facial, otorhinolaryngology and thyroid gland area are the specific features in our unit. In addition, reconstruction for surgery induced defects is the routine used technique. There are around 1700 cases for operations per year. Among them, more than 1/3 patients come from all over the Chinaless than 2/3 patients are from Tianjin city in which population are 12,000, 000.

 

Personnel Structure of department

In Department of Maxillary Facial and Otorhinolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery, there are three Consultant Surgeons, four senior Surgeons, two attending doctors and 6 residents, including six with PhD & MD, and 10 with MD, 2 master instructors. 


In our department, routine operations are following

Resection for various benign and alignant thyroid tumors; 

Modified neck dissection for thyroid cancer; 

Total laryngectomy and voice reconstruction;

Various partial laryngectomies;

Radical neck dissection;

Hypopharyngeal resection and reconstruction of tumor-induced surgical defect;

Resection of saliva tumor;

Radical resection of maxillary-facial tumor and various flaps to reconstruction

with microsurgery technique;

Operations for laryngeal benign and early tumor(with laser);

Endoscope operation for nasal cavity and sinuses;

Free flap reconstruction for giant surgical defect;

Chemotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors.

 

Special technique for carotid body tumor

In addition, the technique for resection of carotid body tumor or tumor

involving carotid body, artery reconstruction belongs to the top class in China.

This is a breakthrough to traditional concept that tumor involving in carotid

body is forbidden to do operation.

 

One of Largest head and neck tumor training center in China

Every year, our department receives doctors for training in head and neck surgery field from all of China. The trainees join daily clinic works and, especially, operations.  

 

Medical Task Completed in 2010

In-patient Revenue:  34,000,000

Amount of Out-patients: 19,000 cases  

Amount of In-patients:1,800 cases

 

International cooperation relationship has been established:

Maxillary Facial and Otorhinolaryngology Head & Neck Symposium/or microsurgery training course have been taken once two years between/or combination with:

Swedish Uppsala University Hospital

Australia Deakin University


 

With open-minded spirit, we welcome the ones or units who wish to establish scientific relationship both in clinic research and clinic work to join us. International clinic trainees are welcome as well.
