ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat)
Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery refers to surgical procedures that are performed on the structures of the head and neck, including the ears, nose, throat, and related structures. ENT surgery is used to treat a variety of conditions, including hearing loss, chronic sinusitis, tonsillitis, sleep apnea, vocal cord disorders, and head and neck cancers. ENT surgery may be performed using traditional open surgery techniques or minimally invasive methods, such as endoscopic surgery, which use specialized tools and instruments to access and operate on the affected area through small incisions. The goal of ENT surgery is to improve the patient’s quality of life by treating the underlying condition and restoring normal function to the affected structures.
