Welcome...
Ben Hartley is a Consultant Paediatric Otolaryngologist at Great
Ormond Street Hospital for Children and Honorary Senior Lecturer at
University College London. He is one of the leading specialists in the
U.K.
Paediatric otolaryngology is better known as ENT. It is the study of
ear nose and throat diseases in children.
Common children's ENT problems include tonsil problems (recurrent
tonsillitis and obstructive sleep apnoea) which sometimes require
tonsillectomy. Blocked noses and snoring may be due to adenoids and
helped by adenoidectomy. Hearing problems and recurrent ear infections
in children can be related to glue ear (otitis media with effusion,
serous or secretory otitis media) and may need ventilation tube
(grommet) insertion. Often however these conditions can be managed
without surgery.
Ben Hartley's specialist areas include childrens airway and laryngeal
problems, children's voice disorders, neck lumps, thyroglossal cysts,
branchial cysts and sinuses in children and also treatment of
haemangiomas, cystic hygromas and vascular malformations.
He has helped to develop surgical techniques of small incision cochlear
implant surgery and bilateral cochlear implant surgery for children with
severe hearing loss. He frequently performs these operations at Great
Ormond Street and the Portland Hospitals.
