An ENT surgeon, or an Ear, Nose, and Throat surgeon, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions related to the head and neck region.
ENT surgeons diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including rhinitis (inflammation of the nose), sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) and allergies. They use various diagnostic tools such as endoscopes (nasal cameras), imaging studies, and allergy tests to assess these conditions.
In addition to medical management, ENT surgeons are skilled in performing surgical procedures to treat conditions that cannot be managed medically. These procedures may include septoplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery, among others.
