About Mr Rohan Vithlani
Consultant ENT Surgeon at University Hospital Southampton, the region’s tertiary referral centre for ears and hearing, and a surgeon with the University of Southampton Auditory Implant Service. Private practice at Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital.
Approach
“Anything ears, hearing or facial nerve — it comes to me.”
Mr Vithlani works at the unit that takes the ear and hearing problems other hospitals cannot solve: from the very young to the very old and very sick. That breadth is what a private patient gets at the first appointment — a surgeon who has seen the rare version of a common problem.
His practice covers otology (ear surgery), cochlear and bone-conduction hearing implants, children’s ENT and the facial nerve. He is clinical governance lead for ENT at University Hospital Southampton and an educational and clinical supervisor for ENT trainees.
