Abstract

Background: Otorhinolaryngology is a medical specialty that focuses on the clinical study and treatments of diseases within head and neck regions, specifically including the ear, nose, and throat (ENT), but excluding eyes and brain. These anatomical structures play significant roles in a person’s daily life, including eating, speaking as well as facial appearance and expression, thus greatly impacting one’s overall satisfaction and quality of life. Consequently, injuries to these regions can significantly impact a person’s well-being, leading to extensive research in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine over many years. Methods: This chapter provides an overview of the anatomical characteristics of otorhinolaryngologic tissues and explores the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research in otology (ear), rhinology (nose), facial bone, larynx, and trachea. Results and conclusion: The integration of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in otorhinolaryngology holds the promise of broadening the therapeutic choices for a wide range of conditions, ultimately improving quality of a patient’s life.
