Brief Profile :

Dr. Amitava Roy is a committed and accomplished ENT surgeon whose clinical practice centres on the management of ear?related disorders, cochlear implantation, and a broad range of ENT surgical conditions. With training in India and specialised exposure in otology and cochlear implantation, he brings a blend of surgical precision, academic rigour and patient-centric care.

His early medical education began at the Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences, after which he pursued a postgraduate MS in ENT at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College & Hospital. During his fellowship at MAA E.N.T. Hospitals, under the guidance of Dr. K. R. Meghanadh, he developed specialised competence in otology and cochlear implants — a field of high complexity requiring intricate microsurgical skills and interdisciplinary coordination. He further honed his expertise at Gruppo Otologico in Italy, allowing him international exposure and insight into advanced techniques in ear surgery.

At MAA E.N.T., Dr. Roy functions as Senior Consultant in the Otology & Cochlear Implant division; he is proficient in a full spectrum of ENT surgeries — ear, nose, throat, head & neck — with a particular enthusiasm and depth in ear surgery and implantable hearing solutions. He has peer?reviewed publications at national and international levels and has been recognized academically for excellence (for example, winning 1st prize in Lateral Skull Base Cadaveric Dissection at AIIMS Jodhpur).

His role at MAA E.N.T. Hospitals places him within one of the leading super-specialty ENT centres in Hyderabad, known for cochlear implantation, navigation?based sinus and skull-base surgery, microsurgery of the ear and advanced audiology services.

Areas of Special Interest & Strengths

• Ear surgery / Otology: Microsurgical management of middle and inner ear disorders, mastoid surgery, tympanoplasty, stapedectomy, management of chronic ear disease.
• Cochlear implantation: Assessment, surgery and follow?up of children and adults requiring cochlear implants; working within a multidisciplinary team (audiology, speech & language pathology).
• Skull base & lateral temporal bone work: Demonstrated capability in cadaveric dissection & skull base anatomy (as evidenced by award at AIIMS Jodhpur).
• Comprehensive ENT practice: While ear surgery is a focus, he is also adept in the broader ENT domain — sinus surgery, snoring & sleep disorders, voice & throat pathologies, hearing aid management, paediatric ENT.
• Academic & research involvement: Multiple national and international publications; reviewer for international journals; continuing professional development via international training.

Clinical Philosophy & Approach

Dr. Roy believes in treating each patient as a unique individual, where hearing, communication and quality of life are central concerns. His practice emphasises:

• Patient-centred care: Listening to the patient’s needs, setting realistic expectations, and following through with pre-operative counselling and post-operative rehabilitation (especially critical in cochlear implantation).
• Team approach: Recognising that success in complex ear and hearing surgeries often depends on a multidisciplinary team — audiologists, speech therapists, paediatricians, radiologists and surgical teams.
• Choice of technology & evidence-based practice: Utilising modern microsurgical equipment, navigation systems (where applicable), implant technology alongside evidence from literature and guidelines.
• Accessibility: Although associated with a high-end centre, Dr. Roy endeavours to make advanced ear and hearing care accessible and to counsel patients fully about options, costs, outcomes and rehabilitative needs.
• Academic integration: Engaging with research, cadaveric skill labs, mentorship of younger surgeons and contributing to the body of knowledge in otology/cochlear implants.
