An Overview on Otolaryngology Surgery

Otorhinolaryngology is a specialist focused on otolaryngology. Specialists are trained in both medicine and surgery, so they are also called Otolaryngology. Otorhinolaryngologists differ from many doctors in that they are eligible to perform different types of surgery on the delicate and complex tissues of the head and neck. Otorhinolaryngology surgery is performed on the head or neck to treat ear, nose, or throat problems. It is also called Otolaryngology Surgery. Otorhinolaryngologists are trained doctors to treat patients with ENT complaints and illnesses. In some cases, these conditions may require surgery. Otorhinolaryngology surgery helps fix injuries and defects in these areas that cause problems such as pain, frequent infections, and breathing problems. For example, some children may need otolaryngology surgery to treat a recurrent ear infection. Otorhinolaryngology surgery may also be needed to get rid of the tumor (abnormal growth). Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)/head and neck surgeons perform hundreds of more common surgeries, including thyroid removal (thyroidectomy), repair of eardrum (tympanic membrane), and sinus surgery and they do highly complex surgeries, such as Endoscopic pituitary tumor, robotic surgery for thyroid.
