Otolaryngology vs ENT – what’s the difference?

NOTHING!

Otolaryngology is simply the official name for the medical speciality ENT or Ear, Nose and Throat. The only different between an ‘Otolaryngologist’ and an ‘ENT Specialist’ is that the latter is much easier to remember and pronounce.

It can also be referred to as ‘Otorhinolaryngology’ and is actually one of the oldest medical specialties. In addition to being a medical doctor, an Otolaryngologist (ENT) is also a surgeon.

ENT Specialists diagnose and treat conditions of the interconnected ear, nose and throat systems which also includes the head and neck, so this is why they are also often referred to as Ear, Nose & Throat, Head and Neck Surgeons – which is a mouthful! But these areas of the body contain so many intricate and interconnected systems.

Some ENT specialists, may also do further training to sub-specialise in a particular area ie. Ear. Dr Floros has chosen to sub-specialise in Head and Neck, Robotic, Reconstructive and Nasal/Sinus Surgery.
