Department of otolaryngology -Head & Neck Surgery of Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University  School of Medicine was established by Professor Mao Chenyue in 1958. With rapid development of these years, our department has become a new state-of-the-art one consisting of otology, neurotology, skull base surgery, endoscopic surgery, head and neck surgery, pediatric otolaryngology, audiology center, etc.

At present, we focus on Neuro-Otology, Skull Base Surgery, Cochlear Implant and Newborn Hearing Screening. Having 23 staff members, our department can accommodate fifty patients per day, and the total operation number precedes 2000 per year. A lot of them are difficult cases from all over the country. 

As a result of our continuously research in acoustic neuroma, we received several research projects funded by Chinese government and Shanghai municipal government. Many papers have been published on important academic journals in China and abroad as well. Every year, a series of international and national conferences and courses in this field are held to promote academic exchanges.
