What are the types of head and neck surgery?

The surgical experts at Austin ENT Associates perform many head and neck surgeries. Some of the most common include:

Thyroid surgery

Thyroid surgery, or thyroidectomy, is the surgical removal of part or all of your thyroid gland. You may need thyroid surgery to treat thyroid cancer or if your thyroid is overproducing thyroid hormones.

Sinus surgery

The team at Austin ENT Associates performs many types of sinus procedures, including the in-office balloon sinuplasty. Sinus surgery may be needed to treat chronic sinusitis or remove benign polyps.

When possible, the ear, nose, and throat specialists at Austin ENT Associates use minimally invasive tools and techniques to minimize post-surgical pain and recovery.

Tonsil and adenoid surgery

Austin ENT Associates also performs tonsil and adenoid surgery. This procedure may benefit those who suffer from frequent tonsil and/or adenoid infections or have difficulty breathing or swallowing because of enlarged tonsils or adenoids.

What can I expect during a head and neck surgery consultation?

Austin ENT Associates takes a patient-centered approach to care and does everything possible to make you comfortable.

During your head and neck surgery consultation, your provider asks detailed questions about your symptoms and medical and surgical history.

Then they perform a physical exam and run diagnostic tests, such as a nasal endoscopy or CT scan, to confirm or rule out a diagnosis and determine the best treatment plan. Your provider then discusses your surgical plan with you.
