Thyroid resection

Recently, my voice has changed a lot, doctors suspected cancer of the larynx. I immediately began to look for a good doctor and ended up being treated by Dr. Dan Fliss. It's good that the tumor was small. The doctor performed endoscopic surgery, even without general anesthesia, for which I thank him very much!

partial resection of the tongue to remove a cancerous tumor and removal of lymph nodes

Professor Fliss is a rare combination of a top-notch surgical oncologist and a person who understands the patient, his family and turns a complex reality into a clear plan of action. Accompanying treatment with optimism and realism in predicting results, it helps to return to a full life. About four years ago, he operated on me, performed a partial resection of the tongue to remove a cancerous tumor and lymph nodes. Everything was done very professionally. Since then, I have been checking-ups with him. Professor Fliss is an expert in his field. Highly recommend!

complex thyroid tumor

We came to Professor Dan Fliss for a consultation regarding my mother's complicated thyroid tumor. We met a nice, tolerant and patient person who gave a very professional response, a lot of peace of mind and confidence in our decision to continue treatment. Of course we chose him as our surgeon and we are confident that we are in the best hands in the field. I highly recommend him.

removal of adenoids

My son has adenoids of the 3rd degree, in the children's clinic at the place of residence they suggested removing him. When I found out how they are removed (pulled out through the mouth), I immediately refused. I started looking for more civilized methods and found them in the Israeli clinic Ichilov. They use the cold plasma removal method, which is less traumatic and bloodless. The operation was performed by Dan Fliss. About a week after it there were mucus, the nose hurt a little, but in general everything is fine.

removal of adenoids

I noticed that my five-year-old son constantly suffers from a runny nose. I regularly washed his nose with special means, but there was no improvement. In addition, the child constantly slept with his mouth open, causing loud snoring. He complained to us that he had terrible dreams. We were at the dentist. The doctor said that the bite is wrong. He advised me to see an otolaryngologist. We made an appointment at the clinic. The ENT doctor made a diagnosis and said that his son had adenoids of the 3rd degree, an operation was needed. I was afraid to do it in the city hospital. At the forum, I learned that the Israeli clinic Ichilov is treating the disease. I went there with my child. Professor Dan Fliss recommended an adenotomy. My son was operated on under general anesthesia. Now we are correcting the bite at the dentist, but the other signs of the disease have disappeared.
