LARYNGOLOGY

Laryngology specialises in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting the larynx, including voice disorders, swallowing difficulties, and breathing problems. The anatomy and physiology of the larynx plays a critical role in voice production, airway protection and the prevention of aspiration. Disorders of the larynx can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life, affecting their ability to speak, swallow, and breathe comfortably. Treatment options may include medication, voice therapy, or surgery, depending on the nature and severity of the condition. Ultimately the goal of laryngology is to provide patients with personalised care that restores or preserves their laryngeal function, thereby improving their overall well-being.
