Research, Conferences & Surgical Milestones

IAOHNS National Conference, Jammu

Dr. Anav Rattan actively contributes to scientific discussions at major national gatherings of the Indian Academy of Otorhinolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery (IAOHNS), presenting clinical data and participating in peer surgical roundtables.

These conferences bring together the country’s leading neurotologists, rhinologists, and head-neck oncologists to examine nuanced surgical techniques and outcomes in temporal bone and skull base procedures.

Cochlear Implant Surgical Fellowship & Certification

Dr. Anav Rattan completed comprehensive specialized training in the Cochlear Implant Programme at Seth G.S. Medical College & KEM Hospital, Mumbai.

This institutional program covers all facets of pediatric and adult auditory implantation: high-resolution temporal bone radiological planning, posterior tympanotomy round-window surgical access, intraoperative neural telemetry, and multi-disciplinary rehabilitation handoff.

1. Otology & Ossicular Reconstruction

Comparative anatomical outcomes between autologous incus interposition and titanium total/partial ossicular replacement prostheses (TORP/PORP) in diseased middle ears.

2. Auditory Implants in Severe Hearing Loss

Pre-operative imaging predictors of cochlear patency, round-window visibility during posterior tympanotomy, and hearing preservation electrode protocols.

3. Endoscopic Sinus Anatomy & Revision FESS

Systematic evaluation of frontal recess pneumatization patterns and mucosal preservation strategies to minimize recurrent polyp formation in allergic fungal sinusitis.

4. Peripheral Vestibulopathies & Balance

Multi-canal canalithiasis identification, refractory BPPV repositioning variations, and clinical differentiators of acute peripheral vs central vestibular syndromes.
