Rhinology

Rhinology is the medical specialty focused on the study and treatment of conditions related to the nose and sinuses. This includes diseases such as chronic sinusitis, nasal congestion, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, and structural abnormalities like a deviated septum. Rhinologists diagnose and treat both medical and surgical issues involving the nasal passages, sinuses, and surrounding structures. They may perform procedures like endoscopic sinus surgery, septoplasty, and treatment for nasal tumors. Rhinology also addresses issues related to smell and breathing difficulties linked to nasal dysfunctions.
