Department of Otorhinolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery
The Department of Otorhinolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Ilsan Paik Hospital specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the ear, nose, sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and esophagus, as well as the oral cavity, salivary glands, and thyroid. Because the ear, nose, and throat are anatomically and functionally interconnected, disorders in one area often affect others, requiring a comprehensive and integrated approach to care. ENT conditions frequently become chronic and can significantly impact quality of life, making early diagnosis and timely treatment essential. As a university hospital, we provide patient-centered care supported by advanced medical technology and multidisciplinary collaboration.
