- Kidney StonesParathyroid glands are located in your neck and balance the amount of calcium in your blood by producing parathyroid hormone. A majority of people have four of these glands, but one or more of them can become overactive, resulting in too much calcium in your blood. Hypercalcemia, a condition in which your body has too much calcium, places you at risk for kidney stones, bone weakening, and other conditions.

- ThyroidThe term “thyroidectomy” describes a surgical procedure that removes some or all of the thyroid gland. The procedure is usually done in cases of thyroid cancer or other thyroid disorders such as goiter or hyperthyroidism. A thyroidectomy should only be performed when absolutely necessary and by a highly-skilled surgeon.
- Thyroid CancerTotal thyroidectomy, which removes the whole thyroid gland, is typically performed on people with thyroid cancer. Less extreme variations exist, such as a hemithyroidectomy or unilateral lobectomy, wherein half the thyroid is taken out, or subtotal thyroidectomy, wherein most of the gland is removed, but a small part is left behind in the hope that it functions properly afterward.
- UltrasoundWhen a large nodule or enlarged thyroid is discovered, your ENT specialist determines if surgery is necessary by performing additional testing, such as ultrasound, radioactive iodine or needle biopsies.
- MRIThe powerful technology of the full-body Magnetic Resonance Imaging system can scan the affected area to create a detailed map of formerly hidden small tumors affecting bones, other small tumors, and irregular growths on the brain stem.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyNodules usually take the form of small masses in the neck that are detectable by touch. Many of those that cannot be felt are revealed through imaging methods such as CT scans or ultrasounds. As these grow larger, they inflict pressure on the neck’s structures. This may cause difficulty swallowing or breathing.
