Ears, nose and throat have intrigued humanity since immemorial times. Treatments for the larynx, the nose and the ear and also surgeries were practiced by Greek, Hindu and Byzantine doctors. In the 20th century clinical and surgical innovations were incorporated, thanks to new anesthesia techniques, antibiotics, radiology and new technologies.
show the evolution of this science throughout the times, recognizing important persons in otology, rhinology and laryngology.
Understanding the evolutions in clinical and surgical anatomy, physiology, treatment modalities, and the personalities that lead to these advances is of great importance for the evolution of medical science. Otorhinolaryngology has a very rich history, with important collaborators and personalities in the history of medicine. The specialty was one of the first to use local anesthesia for procedures, pioneer in treatments with devices that recouped hearing and the use of microscopes in surgeries. Few medical specialties had suffered as many changes and scientific developments in these last decades as Otorhinolaryngology had, with the advantage of incorporating technologies such as endoscopy, radiology, microsurgery and information technology.
自远古时代起，耳、鼻、喉就一直吸引着人类。希腊、印度和拜占庭的医生都曾对喉部、鼻子和耳朵进行治疗以及实施手术。在20世纪，由于新的麻醉技术、抗生素、放射学和新技术，临床和外科创新得以融入。
展现这门科学随时间的发展历程，认识耳科学、鼻科学和喉科学领域的重要人物。
了解临床和外科解剖学、生理学、治疗方式的演变以及推动这些进步的人物，对医学科学的发展至关重要。耳鼻咽喉科学有着非常丰富的历史，在医学史上有重要的合作者和人物。该专业是最早在手术中使用局部麻醉的专业之一，是使用恢复听力的设备进行治疗以及在手术中使用显微镜的先驱。在过去几十年里，很少有医学专业像耳鼻咽喉科学那样经历如此多的变革和科学发展，其优势在于融入了诸如内窥镜检查、放射学、显微外科和信息技术等技术。
