Overview

Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) is a branch of medicine that deals with disease conditions of the Ear, Nose and Throat. In addition to conditions exclusively affecting the ear, nose and throat, the specialty also deals with the surgical management of head and neck cancers and hearing and speech disabilities. Otorhinolaryngology, as it stands now, is not merely dependent on routine outdoor evaluation and conservative management as it used to be in the past. The specialty has advanced technologically and with the advent of modern-day endoscopes, operating microscopes and powered instruments the department now handles various ear-nose-throat and neck disorders more efficiently and precisely.
