What is Otolaryngology?
Otolaryngology is the medical field that studies the ear, nose, and throat, as well as other related structures of the head and neck. Otolaryngologists are physicians who are trained to medically treat and perform surgery to alleviate disorders of the head and neck areas. Otolaryngologists often are referred to as ENT doctors because of their focus on the ear, nose, and throat.
What Types of Disorders does Otolaryngology Cover?
Ears – Otolaryngology focuses on ear disorders including those that affect hearing, balance, and nerve pain. Ear infections are another disorder that ENT physicians treat.
Nose – Allergies and sinusitis are two common nose issues that otolaryngologists treat. Difficulty with smelling is another reason a person may seek the treatment of an otolaryngologist. If there is an issue with the actual nose structure and reconstructive surgery must be completed, an otolaryngologist could be the person to do the procedure.
Throat – Patients with throat problems, difficulty swallowing, and voice box diseases receive treatment from ENT doctors. Esophageal disorders are another issue that falls under the otolaryngology specialty.
Head and Neck – Otolaryngologists are also involved in the workup and management of both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) growth which occur in the head and region.
