Otolaryngology not only has a unique balance of medical and surgical management for complex conditions but also allows for tangible quality-of-life improvements in how we interact with the world (e.g., communication) and how we enjoy the world (e.g., nutrition\/swallowing). <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
