Health is the most significant wealth for all. The interest in health is higher than ever due to the increasingly complex structure of modern society, the development of cutting-edge medical technology, the increase in the elderly population due to the extension of lifespan, and environmental pollution.
In particular, the otolaryngologist, which deals with ear, nose, and throat diseases, can be said to be in the core area directly related to the quality of life, from newborn to old age.
The otorhinolaryngology is divided mainly into otolaryngology (ear), nasal (nose), and head and neck surgery (head, neck). It diagnoses and treats a wide range of diseases, including maxillofacial trauma, head and neck tumors, thyroid disease, craniocervical disease, reconstruction after head and neck surgery, and voice disorders, as well as common diseases such as tympanitis, dizziness, hearing loss, ear noise (tinnitus), sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, snoring, tonsillary disease, salivary gland disease, etc.
