Comprehensive Head & Neck Care in Lafayette

The head and neck house essential glands and tissues that support everything from hormone production to immune response and digestion. When one of these areas is affected by infection, swelling, or a tumor, it can impact your entire health. At LENTS, our Lafayette-based specialists bring advanced diagnostic tools and surgical expertise to treat a full range of head and neck conditions. If you're experiencing persistent symptoms involving the throat, glands, or neck, schedule a consultation at Louisiana ENT Specialists in Lafayette.

Head & Neck Treatments at LENTS

Because of the way each system in the body is interconnected, disorders in the head and neck can cause far-reaching health effects. Our board-certified providers in Lafayette offer specialized evaluation and treatment plans based on the cause and severity of your condition. From routine procedures to complex surgeries, we're here to guide you every step of the way.

Our Services

At LENTS in Lafayette, our head and neck specialists offer all of the following services.

Endoscopic Inspection of the Throat & Voice Box

If you've noticed a change in your voice or difficulty speaking, you may be experiencing issues with your throat or larynx. Using a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope), we can closely examine the voice box and surrounding structures to pinpoint the issue and determine appropriate treatment.

Thyroid Surgery

The thyroid gland regulates your metabolism through hormone production. If the thyroid becomes overactive, underactive, enlarged, or cancerous, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our surgeons in Lafayette perform thyroid removal procedures to restore hormonal balance and improve your overall well-being.

Parathyroid Surgery

The parathyroid glands help maintain proper calcium levels in your blood. Overactivity in these glands can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, kidney stones, and cognitive changes. We offer parathyroid surgery to remove problematic glands and restore calcium regulation in the body.

Salivary Gland Surgery

Tumors in the salivary glands can interfere with saliva production and digestion. When necessary, we perform surgical removal of part or all of the affected glands to eliminate the tumor and preserve your oral and overall health.

Tonsillectomy

Recurring tonsil infections or enlarged tonsils that contribute to sleep apnea may require surgical removal. Our team performs tonsillectomies for both children and adults to reduce infection risk and improve nighttime breathing.

Adenoidectomy

Chronically swollen adenoids can cause nasal obstruction, ear infections, snoring, and breathing difficulties. An adenoidectomy involves removing the adenoid glands to improve airflow, reduce infections, and address sleep-related concerns.

Head & Neck Cancer Evaluation & Surgery

Cancers of the throat, tongue, salivary glands, or voice box require prompt diagnosis and expert care. At LENTS, we perform thorough evaluations using imaging and biopsy techniques to assess cancer presence and staging. If surgery is needed, our Lafayette surgeons remove affected tissue to stop the spread and support long-term recovery.
