Dr. Krishna Ramanathan — Specialist in Bengaluru

Dr. Krishna Ramanathan is a Specialist in ENT at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru, with more than 12 years of experience.

The ear side of the clinical list is the more developed. Cochlear implant surgery, advanced middle ear surgery, stapedectomy, and the evaluation and management of hearing loss including severe hearing loss are all recorded. The nose accounts for functional endoscopic sinus surgery, endoscopic nasal surgery, septoplasty and severe allergic rhinitis, and the throat for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Head and neck tumour surgery completes it.

His qualifications are MBBS and a DNB in otorhinolaryngology, for which he was awarded the Professor S. Kameswaran Gold Medal in the June 2019 session. A gold medal in the national board examination places him at the top of his cohort rather than of a single college. He has also worked at Apollo Specialty Hospital in Chennai.

His publications are varied. He authored a paper on apical disease of the skull base as a diagnostic challenge in the Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, and contributed research on staging and treatment in internal carotid artery tracheo-cervical fistula in 2020. Earlier work appeared in the International Journal of Biotechnology and Bioengineering Research in 2019 on sacro-coccygeal disorders and on adolescent adenoid patterns with carcinoma, and he co-authored a paper on pharmacological interventions in Bio-Pharma in 2017. Further clinical cases and reviews followed in 2021 with several co-authors.
