Endoscopic Inspection of the Throat and Voice Box
Discovering the root cause of throat discomfort, voice changes, and swallowing difficulties often begins with a thorough endoscopic inspection. Using state-of-the-art endoscopes, our physicians can take a closer look at your throat and voice box. This minimally invasive procedure provides real-time images and can be essential for diagnosing conditions that affect your quality of life.
Head and Neck Cancer Evaluation and Surgery
Dealing with head and neck cancer can be a challenging journey. Our dedicated surgical oncologists specialize in the removal of cancerous growths while aiming to maintain as much normal function as possible. Multidisciplinary care is crucial, and we collaborate closely with oncologists, radiologists, and other specialists to offer comprehensive cancer care.
Tonsillectomy
Chronic tonsillitis and recurrent throat infections can lead to the need for a tonsillectomy. This common procedure removes the tonsils, often resulting in fewer throat infections and improved health. Our team utilizes the latest surgical techniques to enhance recovery and reduce discomfort post-operation.
Adenoidectomy
Adenoidectomy, the removal of the adenoids, is often performed to address breathing difficulties, sleep disorders, and recurrent infections. In children, this procedure can be particularly beneficial, contributing to better sleep, fewer ear infections, and improved quality of life. Our approach is gentle, considering the unique needs of our pediatric patients.
Parathyroid Surgery
Parathyroid glands are tiny but powerful, controlling the body’s calcium levels. Surgery may be required when one or more of these glands are overactive, a condition known as hyperparathyroidism. Our surgical approach is meticulous, aiming to correct calcium imbalances and improve your overall health with the least impact on your daily life.
Thyroid Surgery
The thyroid gland plays a critical role in regulating metabolism and body function. When problems such as thyroid nodules, goiters, or cancer arise, surgery may be necessary. Our surgeons are adept at performing thyroidectomies, ensuring that both cancerous and benign conditions are treated with precision while prioritizing the preservation of thyroid function and minimizing complications.
Salivary Gland Surgery
Salivary gland disorders can cause discomfort, dry mouth, and even affect oral health. Our expertise in salivary gland surgery addresses a range of issues, from blockages and infections to tumors. We employ advanced techniques to restore function and alleviate symptoms while striving to protect the facial nerves that traverse this region.
