About

Senior ENT surgeon with AIIMS Delhi and NIMS Hyderabad pedigree

Dr. Chava Anjaneyulu is a Senior Consultant ENT Specialist and Head and Neck Surgeon at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet. He holds an MBBS from Osmania University (1989) and an MS in Otorhinolaryngology from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi (1999). Few ENT specialists in Hyderabad hold an MS degree from AIIMS Delhi, the country's premier medical institute and the most competitive post-graduate medical training programme in India.

His career combines academic depth and clinical breadth. After his MS at AIIMS, he served as Assistant Professor at AIIMS New Delhi, teaching and training the next generation of ENT surgeons while managing complex referred cases from across the country. He then joined Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad, as Consultant, bringing this tertiary-care experience to Telangana. Currently full-time Senior Consultant at Vivekananda Hospital, he brings over 35 years of medical experience and 25 years as a specialist to Begumpet.

His clinical practice covers the full spectrum of ear, nose, throat, head and neck conditions. Everyday ENT work involves ear infections, hearing loss evaluation, chronic sinusitis, nasal obstruction, voice hoarseness, throat infections, tonsil problems, snoring, sleep apnea and routine head and neck evaluations. Surgical work covers the full range from tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy in children, through ear surgery (tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy) and sinus surgery (endoscopic FESS), to advanced head and neck surgery and skull base procedures in selected cases.

Three sub-specialty areas set his practice apart. Micro ear surgery includes tympanoplasty for long-standing perforated eardrum, ossiculoplasty for hearing reconstruction, mastoidectomy for chronic ear infection and stapedectomy for otosclerosis, all performed under operating microscope. Advanced endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) covers chronic sinusitis, large nasal polyps, complicated sinus disease, and extended procedures through the nose. For advanced cases in skull base, airway reconstruction and head-neck oncology, he coordinates with anaesthesia, radiology and cross-specialty teams for safe case planning and selection.

His clinical approach emphasises careful case selection over volume. An experienced ENT surgeon knows which chronic ear infections can be managed medically and which need surgery, which sinus problems need FESS and which respond to medical treatment, and when a head-neck lump needs urgent biopsy versus observation. This judgment, developed over 25 years of specialist practice, prevents unnecessary surgery and ensures genuine surgical candidates get the right procedure at the right time.

Academic training at AIIMS and clinical leadership at NIMS taught me that the right diagnosis comes before the right surgery. Every patient deserves a careful examination, a clear explanation and a treatment plan that matches their actual condition, not a template.

Patient Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I book an appointment with Dr. Anjaneyulu?
Call +91 72079 04418 or WhatsApp the same number. OPD timings at Vivekananda Hospital are Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM (morning) and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM (evening). Morning slots work well for detailed evaluation and surgical planning. Evening slots are more convenient for working professionals and for post-operative follow-up visits.
What makes his AIIMS and NIMS background relevant to my care?
AIIMS New Delhi is India's premier medical institute and the most competitive post-graduate medical training programme in the country. The MS Otorhinolaryngology at AIIMS involves structured exposure to complex referred cases from across India, rigorous academic training, and supervised operative experience on a case mix that few Indian ENT programmes can match. NIMS Hyderabad is the Telangana state government's tertiary care institute with similar complexity. This academic pedigree means the surgeon has seen and operated on the full spectrum of ENT pathology during training, and brings that judgment to everyday consultation and surgery.
My child has recurrent throat infections. Should tonsils be removed?
Tonsillectomy is recommended for children with frequent recurrent tonsillitis (typically 5 or more episodes per year, or 3 episodes per year for 2 consecutive years), significant sleep-disordered breathing from enlarged tonsils, persistent school absenteeism, or antibiotic failure. Not every child with a few throat infections needs surgery. Dr. Anjaneyulu evaluates each case based on frequency, severity, impact on quality of life, and tonsil size before recommending surgery. Modern paediatric tonsillectomy is a safe day-care procedure with rapid recovery.
Does a deviated septum always need surgery?
No. Most people have some degree of septal deviation without symptoms. Septoplasty (surgery to straighten the septum) is indicated only when the deviation causes significant nasal obstruction despite medical treatment, recurrent sinus infections related to the deviation, sleep-disordered breathing, or difficulty with prescribed nasal spray treatment. Dr. Anjaneyulu evaluates the actual symptoms, not just the X-ray or CT finding, before recommending surgery.
What is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and when is it needed?
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the nostrils using a small camera and instruments, with no external incision. It is indicated for chronic sinusitis not responding to adequate medical treatment, large nasal polyps causing obstruction, recurrent sinus infections, and selected sinus pathology requiring tissue sampling. Recovery is generally faster than traditional sinus surgery, with patients typically returning to routine activity within 5-7 days.
I have hearing loss. What tests do I need first?
Hearing loss evaluation begins with a detailed history (onset, progression, hearing in quiet vs noise, associated ear pain or discharge, ringing, family history) and physical examination of the ears. Objective testing includes pure tone audiometry (hearing test) and tympanometry. Depending on findings, additional tests may include CT or MRI scan, speech audiometry, or BERA (brainstem evoked response). The results guide whether the hearing loss is conductive (usually treatable with surgery or hearing aid) or sensorineural (often treatable with hearing aid or cochlear implant for severe cases).
What is Micro Ear Surgery?
Micro ear surgery is surgery performed on the delicate structures of the middle ear using an operating microscope. Common procedures include tympanoplasty (repair of perforated ear drum), ossiculoplasty (reconstruction of the small hearing bones), mastoidectomy (removal of diseased mastoid bone in chronic ear infection) and stapedectomy (surgery for otosclerosis, a cause of progressive hearing loss in young adults). These procedures have good success rates when done by experienced surgeons with the right equipment.
I snore loudly. Is surgery an option?
Surgery is one option for snoring but not the first option. Evaluation typically starts with a sleep study (polysomnography) to distinguish simple snoring from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). For simple snoring, weight management, avoiding alcohol at night, side-sleeping and nasal steroid sprays are first-line. For OSA, CPAP therapy is usually the standard treatment. Surgery (uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, palatal radiofrequency, nasal surgery) is considered when CPAP fails or is not tolerated, and when anatomical features make surgery likely to help. Dr. Anjaneyulu evaluates anatomy and sleep study results before recommending surgery.
I have a lump in my neck. How urgently do I need evaluation?
Any neck lump persisting more than 2 weeks in an adult deserves ENT evaluation. Most neck lumps are benign (enlarged lymph nodes from infection, thyroid nodules, salivary gland swelling, sebaceous cysts). However, some represent head-neck cancer, and early evaluation significantly improves outcomes. Dr. Anjaneyulu performs examination, fibreoptic laryngoscopy (scope examination of throat and voice box), imaging (ultrasound or CT), and fine needle biopsy where indicated. For confirmed cancers, he coordinates with the oncology team for comprehensive treatment planning.
Are ENT procedures covered by insurance?
Yes. Vivekananda Hospital is empanelled with CGHS, ESI, Aarogyasri, Arogyabhadratha and 25+ private insurance providers for cashless treatment. Most ENT surgeries (tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, FESS, septoplasty, thyroid surgery) are covered as medically necessary. Cosmetic nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) is typically not covered unless done for functional reasons. Bring policy documents to the billing desk before surgery to confirm cashless eligibility.
