With over 11 years of expertise, Dr. Jayesh Rane has established himself as a leading ENT and Head & Neck Cancer Surgeon in Goa. His specialisation in head and neck cancer surgeries, skull base surgeries, and snoring and sleep apnoea treatments has positioned him among the region’s most trusted names in otolaryngology.
A Journey Rooted in Surgical Passion
Dr. Rane’s fascination with surgery began during his undergraduate days, inspired by the precision and impact of hearing restoration procedures. Drawn to the intricate and technology-driven nature of ENT surgeries, he chose a career that allowed him to combine surgical finesse with innovation.
Patient-Centric Approach
For Dr. Rane, effective treatment begins with listening. He believes that accurate diagnosis stems from attentive history-taking and a thorough understanding of the patient’s concerns. His approach is grounded in empathy, clinical skill, and a commitment to providing the best possible care.
Broad Expertise in ENT Disorders
At his practice in Porvorim and during his afternoon sessions at Vision Hospital, Dr. Rane treats a wide spectrum of ENT conditions—from common colds and ear infections to complex skull base surgeries. His experience spans across multiple domains, including cosmetic rhinoplasty, snoring and sleep apnoea management, and oncological procedures.
Holding fellowships in Head and Neck
Oncosurgery and Maxillofacial Trauma Reconstruction, he has honed advanced skills that enable him to handle delicate and highrisk surgeries with precision.
Advanced Diagnosis and Technology
Dr. Rane’s clinic is equipped with state-of-theart diagnostic tools, including a highresolution endoscopy system and a flexible scope that aid in precise diagnosis of complex ENT cases. He emphasises clinical examination, supported by endoscopy and radiological imaging when required.
Surgical Excellence and Innovation
Modern surgical technologies form the cornerstone of Dr. Rane’s practice. He uses the Coblation system for bloodless, pain-free tonsillar surgeries and endoscopic techniques for scarless eardrum repair, enhancing recovery and aesthetics. His work in snoring and sleep apnoea follows a tailored, multilevel surgical approach based on each patient’s obstruction and severity.
Integrative Care and Patient Education
Beyond surgery, Dr. Rane integrates allergy management and hearing rehabilitation into his practice. With support from an audiologist, he offers audiometry testing and hearing aid solutions for patients with hearing loss.
He strongly advocates for patient education, emphasising awareness of triggers, preventive care, and lifestyle adjustments to manage chronic conditions like sinusitis or allergies effectively.
Challenges and Awareness
Dr. Rane highlights that ENT illnesses are often underestimated or ignored until they become severe. He stresses the importance of early intervention and continuous communication to set realistic expectations for chronic conditions. Through transparent discussions, he ensures that patients understand their treatment process and longterm goals. He also works to dispel common myths such as using Q-tips or hydrogen peroxide for ear cleaning, emphasising that such practices can cause more harm than good.
Memorable Cases and Emergency Expertise
Throughout his career, Dr. Rane has encountered numerous cases that reaffirm his dedication to the field. One particularly memorable instance involved a patient with bomb shrapnel lodged behind the ear, a complex case that tested both skill and composure.
He recalls the satisfaction of seeing patients regain hearing immediately after ear surgeries such as stapedotomy and tympanoplasty, describing these moments as deeply rewarding. His quick response to sudden hearing loss and airway obstructions, including performing life-saving tracheostomies, exemplifies his commitment to emergency ENT care.
The Future of ENT Medicine
Dr. Rane envisions a future where ENT surgeries become increasingly scarless and minimally invasive. He celebrates advancements like endoscopic skull base surgeries that eliminate external incisions, and coblation and radio frequency technologies that have revolutionised tonsillar and snoring treatments.
He has previously contributed to clinical trials and believes the next decade will see significant growth in non-surgical and precision-based interventions in ENT care.
