Otorinolaryngologické oddělení (ORL)

You can make an appointment for surgery on the basis of a prior examination by an ENT specialist by calling +420 731 628 860 from 10:00 to 12:00 on weekdays. To make an appointment, you need to know the exact scope of the recommended surgery and the name of the referring doctor.
If you wish to consult the doctors of our department about the indication for surgery, you must make an appointment via e-ambulance.
The head of the department reserves the right to cancel an appointed surgery in serious cases; the patient will be informed by telephone and an alternative date will be arranged.
Surgeries are performed in the Central Surgery Rooms of the hospital, mostly under general anaesthesia.
