Otorhinolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat surgery, ENT)
Otorhinolaryngologists (also known as otolaryngologists or ear, nose, and throat or ENT Surgeons) are surgical specialists who diagnose, evaluate and manage a wide range of diseases of the head and neck, including the ear, nose, and throat regions.
This page provides useful information on the nature of the work, the common procedures/interventions, sub-specialties, and other roles that may interest you.
ENT surgeons treat a very wide range of conditions.
These include:
- ear conditions
- nose conditions
- throat conditions
- head and neck conditions
- facial cosmetic surgery
Ear conditions
- otosclerosis (a condition of the middle ear that causes hearing loss) and other problems with hearing and deafness
- otitis media with effusion – a common condition of childhood (also known as glue ear) in which the middle ear becomes blocked with fluid
- age-related hearing loss
- tinnitus(ringing in the ears) and eustachian tube dysfunction
- dizziness and vertigo
- ear infections
- perforated eardrum and cholesteatoma
- protruding ears
Nose conditions
- sinus infection and rhino-sinusitis, including in children
- nasal injuries
- nasal polyps
- tumours of the nose
- nasal obstruction
- disorders of the sense of smell
Throat conditions
- adenoid problems – surgical removal of these small glands in the throat at the back of the nose is sometimes needed, and is usually performed in childhood
- tonsillitis, sometimes requiring surgical removal of the tonsils, usually in childhood
- hoarseness and laryngitis
- swallowing problems
- upper airway breathing problems
- snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (when breathing stops during sleep)

Common procedures
ENT surgeons use many different surgical procedures
- insertion of grommets for glue ear – this involves a very small incision in the ear drum and is typically carried out on children. The grommets help to ventilate the middle ear and resolve middle ear effusions
- tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) or adenoidectomy (removal of adenoids), most often in children
- septoplasty – correction of nasal septum to prevent obstruction and enable clear breathing
- micro laryngoscopy – a short metal tube (laryngoscope) is inserted into the larynx (voice box). This is used for examination and can also be used to perform a biopsyor surgery
- endoscopic sinus surgery – a tiny telescope is inserted into the nasal passages to diagnose and treat difficult sinus conditions. Technically refined instruments are then used to restore proper function
- tympanomastoid surgery to reconstruct and remove epithelial inclusions (cholesteatoma) within the middle ear
- tracheostomy
