Welcome to the SIVUH Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery (ENT) Website

The Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery at the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital, Cork, caters for patients with diseases of the Ears, Nose, Mouth, Throat, Head & Neck, Thyroid Gland, and Major Salivary Glands. The name of the specialty is often abbreviated as E.N.T.
