Otorhinolaryngology

Otorhinolaryngology /oʊtoʊˌraɪnoʊˌlærənˈɡɒlədʒi/ (also called otolaryngology-head and neck surgery) is a surgical subspecialty within medicine that deals with conditions of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) and related structures of the head and neck. The specialty is often treated as a unit with surgery of the head and neck (otolaryngology–head and neck surgery, or OHNS). Doctors who specialize in this area are called otorhinolaryngologists, otolaryngologists, ENT doctors, ENT surgeons, or head and neck surgeons. Patients seek treatment from an otorhinolaryngologist for diseases of the ear, nose, throat, base of the skull, and for the surgical management of cancers and benign tumors of the head and neck.

The term is a combination of New Latin combining forms ( + + + ) derived from four Ancient Greek words: ous (gen.: ὠτός otos), "ear", rhis, "nose", larynx, "larynx" and logia, "study" (cf. Greek ωτορινολαρυγγολόγος, "otorhinolaryngologist").
