Diseases of the ear, nose throat (collectively known as ENT), and related structures, are quite common in people of all age groups, especially children Although they cause a great deal of discomfort and loss of quality of life, these ailments often remain neglected, and therefore undetected and untreated. Lack of awareness regarding the long-term, serious implications of these seemingly benign disorders is a major problem in society.
Lack of awareness is not just limited to the diseases and their symptoms but also includes the huge advancements made in this speciality, both, in the fields of diagnostics as well as treatment. Managing such ailments requires the expertise of trained professionals and doctors with years of experience in the field coupled with a sympathetic and patient-centric frame of mind.
At the Department of ENT, at CMRI Hospital, Kolkata we offer exactly the same sympathetic and patient-centric experience. Patients and their interests are central to every advice or plan that is offered in our department. We believe in partnering with our patients in their journey to health and for this their participation in the decision-making process and in the implementation of the treatment plan becomes important. We strive to achieve this by discussing the problem and possible solutions with the patient and family and only then embark on the best-suited treatment plan.
Post Op and Rehab facilities are also offered for Trauma, Injuries and Emergencies. The emergency wing of the department also has 24/7 working fully-equipped ambulance services to bring a patient to the hospital and treat those patients who have injured or traumatized noses, throats, heads, necks, or ears.

Knee replacement is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures that involves the replacement of deteriorating knee joints with new prosthetic components. Depending upon the area of the knee joint that is affected, doctors may either recommend partial replacement or total replacement. The former is recommended when only a part of the knee joint is affected and aims at removing only the damaged section while leaving the remaining joint intact. The latter, on the other hand, is recommended when the complete knee joint is affected and needs to be replaced. Offered at the best multispeciality hospital in Kolkata, the procedure has helped hundreds and thousands of people lead pain-free life.
What everyone needs after a long tiring day is a good night’s sleep, and not being able to enjoy the same can be quite frustrating. While some people may fall asleep soon after lying down in their bed, others may spend their nights twisting and turning, waiting like an owl. The condition is commonly referred to as insomnia, and is defined as the inability to fall asleep, or maintain a peaceful sleep at night. The problem may be acute or chronic depending upon how long it lasts. As per the best doctor for sleep disorders, acute insomnia is usually a result of stress or some external factor, whereas chronic insomnia may be related to some serious underlying health issue.
A knee replacement surgery or medically known as total knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves relieving pain and restoring the normal functionality in a severely ailing knee joint.
