What Do ENT Specialists Do
ENT’s can do surgery and treat many different medical conditions. You would see one if you have a problem involving:
- ENT Specialists treat conditions that affect the senses such as hearing and balance disorders or smell and taste problems. They also treat patients with conditions that affect their voice, breathing and swallowing as well as those with head and neck tumours.
- ENT has possibly the widest range of operations of any speciality. They also treat ear conditions such as hearing loss, childhood ‘glue ear’ (where the middle ear is blocked with fluid), dizziness, ear infections and perforated ear drums.
- They treat nose conditions such as sinus infections, nasal injuries, tumours and disorders of the sense of smell and throat conditions ranging from tonsillitis through breathing problems to cancers of the mouth or throat.
- ENT Specialists are also involved in facial cosmetic surgery, for example on ears and noses and facial reconstruction following trauma or cancer. They work closely with a range of other specialists including plastic surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons and ophthalmologists.
- They make use of the latest technology including robots and lasers to treat patients which often means minimally invasive surgery and faster recovery times.
