Otorhinolaryngology, more commonly known as ENT (ear, nose, and throat) medicine, is a specialized branch of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the head and neck region. This multifaceted field encompasses a wide range of conditions, from hearing loss and sinusitis to voice disorders and head and neck cancers. ENT specialists, also known as otolaryngologists, possess expertise in both medical and surgical management, providing comprehensive care to patients of all ages.
ENT specialists often collaborate with other medical specialties, including neurology, oncology, pulmonology, allergy and immunology, speech pathology, and dentistry, to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex head and neck conditions.
