The ENT is a medical specialty that treats conditions of the ears, nose, and throat. Specialists in this field have training in surgery as well as medicine. Because ENT involves the ears, nose, and throat, these specialists are ENT doctors. For an ENT physician, the ear, nose, throat, larynx are in the scope of treatment areas. ENT doctors can specifically perform these types:

• Sinus surgery
• Snoring/sleep disorder surgery
• Corrective breathing surgery
• Endoscopic sinus surgery in which the ENT physician examines the snus openings for obstructive or unusual growths or tissues, which are then removed.

• A more common ear surgery is the insertion of a tube into the ear to drain accumulated fluid in the middle ear.
