Medical | | Spanish term or phrase: especialista de los oídos, nariz y senos nasales | From a letter recommending that a patient see an "especialista de los oídos, nariz y senos nasales" for chronic sinusitis.
Obviously, the literal translation is an "ear, nose and (nasal) sinus specialist). My concern is that I don't think this equivalent exists in U.S. English (sinus/nasal specialist, yes, but I have been unable to verify ear, nose and sinus specialist). Often, ear, nose and throat specialists handle sinusitis and the like, but as the letter later refers to an "especialista de la nariz, garganta, y oído," I think a different translation is in order. What do my colleagues suggest? |

| | ENT subspecialists: ear (otologists), nose (sinus specialist) & throat (speech & voice disorders) | Explanation:
Hi Paul
It's common for ENT specialists (otolaryngologists) in the US to subspecialize in one of the 3 ENT areas. Each area now demands deep medical knowledge, surgical skills, and knowledge of the lates technological resources for therapy.
(For example, I've always had episodes of severe laryngitis, which in Argentina were called "falso crup", and at one point in Chicago I had to see a few specialists in VOICE DISORDERS. These physicians were board certified in ENT disorders, but they focused in larynx & vocal cord problems and speech restoration --and they can do amazing things!).
Subspecialists in the ear are called otologists. Subspecialists in the nose and paranasal sinuses are ** NOSE AND SINUS SPECIALISTS **. (These specialists usually deal with disorders of the pharynx as well).
Good luck Paul

Does sinus surgery cure **sinus disease**?
Dr. Knox Answers: No, but it is the most effective therapy in chronic sufferers. Surgery should be considered only in individuals who are not responding to medical therapy, or who have chronic, severe symptoms of sinus blockage. The spectrum of **rhinosinusitis** may be interrupted with appropriate ventilation and drainage of the sinus passages. Ask you health care provider about treatment options, or schedule an appointment to see a **sinus specialist**.
