Otorhinolaryngologist+or+ENT

= Otorhinolaryngologist, ENT, Oral and maxillofacial Surgeons. =

These are doctors who specialize in the area of the ear, nose and throat. They deal with the treatment and examination of patients with oral cancer and other head and neck disorders. For this purpose, the ENT must be specialised in the treatment of maxillofacial tumours. In other (mainly European) countries, this job description is served by a specialized maxillofacial surgeon who comes from a dentistry-medical background. In the past an Otorhinolaryngologist carried the sole responsibility of the surgery for patients with oral cancer. Today however, the surgery is done by the ENT surgeon, as the Otorhinolaryngologist tends to be split into the divisions of Otomicrosurgery and Microlaryngeal surgery.
