What Is Otolaryngology Surgery?
Otolaryngology surgery is surgery performed on the head or neck for cosmetic or corrective reasons. This surgery is performed by a surgical specialist known as an otolaryngologist. Although the brain is in the head, which might lead someone to assume that it would be included in this surgical specialty, surgery on the brain is not part of otolaryngology. The eyes are also not part of this specialty. For surgeons, otolaryngology is one of the most competitive specialties to enter, and it can be highly lucrative for certain types of specialists.
