Otolaryngology services provides patients of all ages with a wide range of
treatment for inflammatory and malignant head and neck
conditions. Comprehensive diagnostic, surgical and
rehabilitative services are provided in close association with
other clinical specialties and support departments. Inpatient,
day surgery and consultation are available at the Saint John
Regional Hospital, with day surgery services also provided at
the Sussex Health Centre, St. Joseph’s and Charlotte County
Hospitals. A stroboscopy unit, located in Clinic at the Saint
John Regional Hospital, is used to diagnose and monitor throat
disorders, and is the only such unit in New Brunswick. Purchase
of state-of-the-art technology - an Instratrak - has enabled the
surgeons in this Department to perform image guided surgery for
sinus surgery and advanced ENT procedures. This system clearly
depicts the anatomy and the extent of the disease present and
assists in locating the optimal site for safely entering the
sinus.
