What is Otolaryngology?!

Otolaryngology (ō’tō-lar-ing-gol’ŏ-jē), commonly referred to as ENT (ear, nose, & throat) or Otolaryngology – head and neck surgery, combines both medical and surgical treatments to cover a broad range of conditions of the head and neck region.  Essentially, it involves all areas from the clavicles up, excluding the bulb of the eye, and with a few exceptions, remains outside of the dura;   “from pleura to dura”.
