OTOLARYNGOLOGY
Otolaryngology, commonly referred to as ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) medicine, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the ears, nose, throat, and structures of the head and neck. Otolaryngologists, or ENT specialists, are trained to manage a diverse range of conditions, including hearing loss, sinusitis, tonsillitis, voice disorders, allergies, swallowing disorders, and tumors of the head and neck. They utilize both medical and surgical interventions, such as hearing aids, nasal endoscopy, sinus surgery, and head and neck cancer surgery, to provide comprehensive care for patients of all ages. Otolaryngologists collaborate closely with other medical specialists to ensure holistic treatment plans and optimal patient outcomes.
