Hagiographical texts of the Byzantine period contain a significant number of miraculous treatments of several diseases of the ear, nose and throat. The comparison of the conservative treatments referred to as well as the often concealed surgical interventions of these texts with those known from the medical texts of the eminent Byzantine physicians, lead the writers to conclude that a series of real treatments were carried out in the churches or in the Xenones (hospitals) of Byzantium.
拜占庭时期的圣徒传记文本包含了大量对耳鼻喉科多种疾病的神奇治疗方法。将这些文本中提到的保守治疗方法以及常常被隐瞒的外科手术干预与著名拜占庭医生医学文本中已知的方法进行比较后，作者们得出结论，拜占庭的教堂或客栈（医院）中进行了一系列实际的治疗。
