During its development, the discipline and its sub-areas were increasingly enriched and refined, and its name evolved from 'ear, nose and throat' to 'otorhinolaryngology' and then to 'otolaryngology–head and neck surgery' In the United States, the American Laryngological Association was established in 1878, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology was founded in 1903. However, no doctors specialized in pediatric OHNS until the 1940s.展开更多
