Added to such rare cases performed at Peerless Hospital, the Department of ENT Head & Neck Surgery also does surgeries with the latest technology of cochlear implants. It has an excellent outcome in transforming the lives of the hearing challenged.

Peerless Hospital did East India’s First Mandible Replacement and Reconstruction Surgery on a senior citizen who had high diabetes and also had Osteomyelitis of the lower jaw. It was entirely rotten. In the majority of the cases, the jaw was reconstructed but this person needed a replacement. After the 12-hour surgery, the patient was all right.

The Surgical Team at Peerless Hospital consists of Dr. Shouvanik Satpathy, Senior Consultant ENT and Head Neck Surgeon, Dr. Deepanjan Dey, Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Debadeep Chakraborty, Senior Consultant Dental and Maxillofacial Surgeon.

The Medical team consists of Dr. Chandramouli Bhattacharyya, Dr. Anupam Maity, Dr. Amitabh Sur, Dr. A.K. Sarkar, and others.

Peerless Hospital was also the first hospital to start Cochlear Implants in Eastern India in 2013. With the help of the screening process done after birth at the hospital, hearing loss can be identified at any age. This is a painless, cheap test and takes a few minutes. The cochlear implant is planned according to the level of hearing loss of the individual.

With such new treatments, the doctors could bring a ray of hope to the lives of the patients.
