Otorhinolaryngology Surgery, often referred to simply as ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgery, encompasses a diverse range of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating disorders of the head and neck. From common issues like sinusitis and tonsillitis to more complex conditions such as tumors of the head and neck, ENT surgeons play a crucial role in restoring function and improving quality of life for their patients.
One of the key areas of focus in otorhinolaryngology surgery is ear surgery. This can include procedures to correct hearing loss, such as cochlear implantation or tympanoplasty to repair a perforated eardrum. Additionally, ENT surgeons may perform surgeries to address chronic ear infections or congenital abnormalities of the ear.
Nasal and sinus surgery is another important aspect of ENT surgery. Procedures such as septoplasty to correct a deviated septum or endoscopic sinus surgery to treat chronic sinusitis can greatly alleviate symptoms and improve breathing for patients.
Throat surgery is often necessary to address conditions affecting the throat and voice box. This can include procedures to remove tonsils or adenoids, treat vocal cord disorders, or remove tumors of the larynx or pharynx.
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeries are also within the realm of otorhinolaryngology. ENT surgeons may perform procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), or facial reconstruction following trauma or cancer removal.
