Professor Rami Salib

I am a Consultant ENT Surgeon and Associate Professor of Rhinology. I am trained as a general adult and paediatric ENT Surgeon with subspecialist interest in Rhinolgy (conditions affecting the nose and sinuses) and Allergy, in particular medical and surgical management of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, rhinosinusitis, facial pain, snoring, obstructive sleep apnoea. I also deal with general ear (otology) including ear wax removal, and throat (laryngeal) conditions including voice disorders.

I perform minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery and nasal plastic surgery (septorhinoplasty). I also perform general ENT operations like tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and grommets.

Research interests

I am an Associate Professor of Rhinology at the University of Southampton and have a major interest in academia, research and teaching. My main research interests focus on the mucosal immune response in nasal airways disease (rhinitis and rhinosinusitis),and the development of novel therapies for chronic rhinosinusitis. The aim is to develop further bi-directional benefits in not only establishing an academic presence to develop ENT research but also facilitate translational research for patient benefit and enabling better understanding of the upper and lower airway interactions. I am currently Principal Investigator in Southampton for MACRO - a major national NIHR trial aiming to establish best practice for the management of adults with chronic rhinosinusitis.
