Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery
Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, often called ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgery, is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions of the ears, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck. This includes issues like ear infections, sinus problems, sore throats, hearing loss, voice disorders, and neck tumors. ENT surgeons use medical and surgical treatments to improve patients’ breathing, hearing, speech, and overall head and neck health. They also perform specialized surgeries, such as removing tumors or reconstructing parts of the face and neck, to restore function and quality of life.
