HEAD/NECK

The intricate connections within our body mean that imbalances in one area can impact others. At Texas ENT Specialists, our knowledgeable providers specialize in identifying and addressing issues affecting the head and neck. By collaborating with patients, we diligently investigate the root causes of these concerns and tailor effective treatment plans to restore balance and improve overall well-being.

Endoscopic Inspection of the Throat & Voice Box

  • If you've observed alterations in your voice or encounter challenges while speaking, there might be underlying concerns with your throat or voice box. Employing an endoscope, a tube equipped with a small camera, our providers can obtain a clearer understanding of the situation.

Salivary Gland Surgery

  • Salivary glands play a vital role in the digestion process by producing saliva, which aids in food digestion. Surgery on the salivary glands becomes necessary when tumors are detected within them. This surgical intervention may involve either complete removal or partial removal of the glands, depending on the specific circumstances.

Thyroid Surgery

  • The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. Imbalances, such as overactivity, underactivity, enlargement, or cancerous growth, can occur. Surgical removal of either a portion or the entire gland can assist in restoring thyroid function and returning the body to its normal metabolic state.

Tonsillectomy

  • This surgical procedure aims to extract the tonsils, which are two tissue pads situated at the rear of the throat. It is employed to prevent recurrent infections and may also provide relief for individuals experiencing sleep apnea.

Parathyroid Surgery 

  • The parathyroid gland regulates calcium production in the blood. When it becomes either overactive or underactive, treatment may be necessary. Patients affected by this imbalance may exhibit symptoms such as muscle weakness, kidney stones, and decreased alertness. Surgical intervention, involving either partial or complete removal of the gland, is often performed to address this condition.

Adenoidectomy

  • Chronic swelling of the adenoid glands can lead to breathing difficulties, ear infections, snoring, and sleep apnea. Patients troubled by these persistent issues may find relief through an adenoidectomy, a surgical procedure involving the removal of the adenoid glands.
