ENT department is working on developing new treatment protocols and new surgical techniques. It thus participates in several studies aimed at improving the diagnosis and management and quality of life in ENT frequent ENT pathologies (phlegmon of the amygdala, etc.) or rarer ones (Rendue Osler disease, etc.).

He is also involved in clinical and fundamental research in conjunction with the INSERM U1086 ANTICIPE “CANCER AND PREVENTION” teams and U 1075 “COMETE” which works on the inner ear and its impact on the brain.
