Dr. Muaaz Tarabichi
Consultant ENT Surgeon
Biography
Dr. Tarabichi is a world-renowned Ear and Sinus Surgeon, and the Co-Founder of Tarabichi Stammberger Ear and Sinus Institute (TSESI) in Dubai UAE, the Institute is a group of ENT surgeons and healthcare research personnel whose sole mission is to improve the quality, safety, effectiveness, and cost of medical interventions in Ear and Sinus Surgery. A pioneer in Endoscopic Ear and Sinus Surgery, for the last 30 years he has spearheaded and established groundbreaking and revolutionary medical techniques in the field, including the Tarabichi Stitch for Endoscopic Ear Surgery, as well as the Eustachian Tuboplasty Technique known as Endoscopic Transtympanic Eustachian Tube Dilatation. Endoscopic transtympanic Eustachian tube dilation was first truly pioneered by Muaaz Tarabichi, MD, in Dubai during the late 1990s. He is credited with developing and implementing this technique, which is a surgical approach to dilate the Eustachian tube through the eardrum using an endoscope. His contributions have led to him being recognized as the "Father of Endoscopic Ear Surgery". While the Eustachian tube itself was first described by Bartholomaeus Eustachius in the 16th century, the specific technique of endoscopic transtympanic dilation is attributed to Muaaz Tarabichi. This technique allows surgeons to visualize and dilate the Eustachian tube, which can help with various ear problems, including chronic ear infections and Eustachian tube dysfunction
