  What's a-head:  Research advances
of the head, neck, ear, nose, throat
 Presented in fall 2002

Physicians who specialize in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery have special expertise in the daily treatment of diseases and trauma of the ears, nose and nasal passages, sinuses, larynx (voice box), oral cavity and upper pharynx (mouth and throat), neck, thyroid, salivary glands and esophagus, as well as tumor surgery, allergy and plastic surgery of the neck and face.

At UNMC, clinical and basic researchers are exploring diagnosis and treatment of a variety of head and neck problems, from earaches to combating depression in patients with head and neck cancer. This research will result in improved clinical  care for patients, as well as contribute to the science and education of the head and neck specialty.
