ENT surgical procedures require dedicated equipment including operating microscopes, endoscopic towers, and bone drills. Before this complex was built, ENT surgeries at Allama Iqbal Medical College were performed in shared general operating theatres. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Irshad Malik established the dedicated ENT Operation Theatre Complex at AIMC, which now supports ENT and head and neck surgical procedures for the department.
Prof. Dr. Muhammad Irshad Malik founded the Temporal Bone Dissection Laboratory at Allama Iqbal Medical College. The laboratory provides ENT surgical trainees with structured practice in temporal bone anatomy and drilling technique as part of their postgraduate training before selected ear surgery procedures.
Each consultation begins with a detailed review of the patient's symptoms, how long they have been present, what has already been tried, and any relevant medical history. The examination and treatment discussion follow after this assessment, not before it.
After examination and any necessary investigations, the findings are explained in straightforward language. Where a diagnosis can be established, the treatment options are discussed clearly so the patient understands what the condition is, what caused it, and what the recommended next steps involve.
Surgical treatment is considered when symptoms, examination findings, recurrence, or other clinical factors make it appropriate. Not every ENT condition requires surgery. Where medical management or monitoring is the right course, that is the recommendation, explained with the relevant reasoning.
For cochlear implant assessments, head and neck conditions, and thyroid surgery, care is coordinated with relevant specialists and allied health professionals, including audiologists, speech therapists, radiologists, and oncologists, based on each patient's clinical needs.
Prof. Dr. Muhammad Irshad Malik's surgical and clinical practice covers eight areas of ENT and head and neck medicine. Each reflects the case mix he manages at AIMC, Jinnah Hospital, and his Lahore clinics.
Assessment, surgical implantation, post-operative device coordination, and multidisciplinary auditory rehabilitation for selected patients with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss.
