Paperman Media (Bhubaneswar) – Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital is said to have taken a leading role in ENT treatment and surgery in Odisha. Under the guidance and advice of the founder of the college, Dr. Tirupati Panigrahi, like other departments ENT, has achieved many successes, said Professor Dr. Rajalakshmi Panigrahi, Head of the department. She said that just like other hospitals in Odisha are doing treatment and surgery, we are also doing the same here, but with the intention of making something different from others, we treat the patient's disease. All departments follow the words of Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital Chairman Dr. Panigrahi and do not look at the pocket of the patient, which is why today Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital has become a leading private hospital in eastern India.
Since Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital is a private college, emphasis is given to patient treatment along with education, how a student can get the necessary proper education is given attention. Therefore, both treatment and surgery are done properly, said Dr. Panigrahi. She said that she has 20 years of experience at Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital. She has seen and treated many patients. she has done surgery where necessary, the "cochlear" implant that is being successfully operated on now brings him self-confidence.
Someone who cannot hear cannot speak. Due to deafness, he becomes mute or does not have the power of speech. When a patient comes to the hospital, he is treated and operated on. This is called a cochlear implant. In such cases, a machine is inserted by performing surgery inside and outside the ear. Which Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital is successfully doing. The cochlear is a snail-shaped, fluid-filled structure in the human inner ear that is essential for hearing. It also converts sound vibrations from the ear into electrical impulses. These impulses are sent via the auditory nerve to the brain, which interprets them as sound. It contains thousands of tiny "hair cells" that respond to different sound frequencies; damage to these cells is a major cause of permanent hearing loss. A cochlear implant is an electronic device for people with severe to profound hearing loss who get little benefit from traditional hearing aids. Unlike a hearing aid (which simply makes sounds louder), an implant directly stimulates the auditory nerve with electrical signals, bypassing the damaged parts of the ear. It consists of an external sound processor (worn behind the ear) and an internal implant (surgically placed under the skin) with an electrode array that goes into the cochlear. It is used for adults and children, mostly up to 9 months of age, to help develop or restore speech and language skills.
Earlier, this treatment was done through Biju Swasthya Card and now through Ayushman Card. There is a provision to spend a maximum of Rs 5 lakh on one card. Then, the college will bear the additional expenses, said Dr. Panigrahi. As per the advice of Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital Chairman Dr. Panigrahi, if the patient does not have the capacity to pay more, then Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital itself bears the remaining expenses. Many such patients have been treated and operated on in the recent past. The chairman said that more such treatments and surgeries will be continued in the coming days.
Otosclerosis, pituitary tumors and other surgeries like cochlear implants are also being done at Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital. Otosclerosis is an abnormal bone growth in the middle ear, which usually stabilizes the stapes bone and prevents it from vibrating, causing a gradual, and often bilateral, conductive hearing loss. It most often affects young to middle-aged adults, usually progresses between the ages of 20-30, and is more common in women. Treatment includes observation, hearing aids, or stapedectomy (surgical replacement of the bone). It is successfully treated through surgery.
Similarly, pituitary tumors are also treated under the supervision of a neurosurgeon. This is done through nasal endoscopy. Many other ENT-related treatments and surgeries are successfully performed at Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital. That is why Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital has made a special name for itself today. The trust of the people of states like Odisha, West Bengal, and Jharkhand are growing everyday.
