About R. J. (Robert Jan) Pauw, MD PhD
Introduction
As an ENT surgeon - otologist, I specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the ear and hearing. My goal is to provide the highest quality care for each patient.
I frequently manage chronic middle ear inflammation (cholesteatoma) and its complications. Additionally, I perform hearing-improving surgeries such as ossicular chain reconstruction and stapedotomy. As a member of the Cochlear Implant (CI) team, I also perform cochlear implantations to help patients regain their hearing.
Education and career
From 2006 to 2011, I was trained as an Otorhinolaryngologist at the Radboud UMC in Nijmegen, followed by a fellowship otology at the European Institute for ORL in Antwerp, Belgium.
In 2007 I obtained my PhD degree with the thesis entitled ‘Hereditary hearing impairment in adulthood. Clinical and genetic aspects of DFNA9, DFNA15, OTSC5 and OTSC7’
Since 2012 I have been a staff member at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery of the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam.
