Dr. Alok Banka

A 75-year-old retired school teacher with limited income presented with complete nasal obstruction and loss of smell for 6 months. Dr. Banka identified an extremely rare inverted papilloma occupying both nasal cavities. Using advanced endoscopic techniques, he performed a complete resection while preserving olfactory function. The patient regained normal breathing and smell sensation within a month, with no recurrence at 6-month follow-up.

A 32-year-old software engineer developed sudden unilateral hearing loss after a stressful project deadline. Dr. Banka initiated immediate intratympanic steroid injections within the critical 48-hour window, combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The patient recovered 85% of hearing within two weeks and complete recovery after one month, returning to work with stress management techniques.

A 5-year-old child from a rural background presented with a plastic toy piece lodged deep in the nasal passage for three days. Dr. Banka used innovative suction technique with specialized pediatric instruments to remove the foreign body without general anesthesia. The procedure took 8 minutes, and the child was discharged the same hour with no complications.

A 45-year-old construction worker with no previous medical history developed a rapidly growing neck mass. Dr. Banka diagnosed an unusual branchial cleft cyst infection and performed emergency drainage followed by complete excision. The patient returned to heavy manual work within 10 days with no recurrence.

A 12-year-old competitive swimmer from an upper-middle-class family presented with recurrent ear infections and hearing difficulties. Dr. Banka discovered an unusual fungal colonization in the ear canal resistant to standard treatments. He developed a customized antifungal irrigation protocol combined with laser debridement. The patient made a full recovery within 3 weeks and returned to competitive swimming with preventive strategies.
