| Otolaryngology is a medical specialty dealing with medical and surgical treatment of the head and neck, including the ears, nose, and throat. With the exception of visual and eye-related disorders (treated by ophthalmologists) and lesions of the brain (treated by neurologists and neurological surgeons), otolaryngologists treat diseases and lesions above the shoulders in patients of all ages - ears, respiratory and upper alimentary systems in the head and neck in general. Otolaryngology specialists are trained in otology, rhinology, laryngology, allergy, head and neck surgery, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and bronchoesophagology. They also have an understanding of the communication sciences, endocrinology and neurology. |
