The otolaryngologists at Commonwealth Health work with a multidisciplinary team to provide care for conditions that affect the head and neck. Doctors utilize robotic surgery techniques when possible, including robot-assisted thyroidectomy and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to treat cancer of the mouth and throat. These procedures may result in minimal scarring and a quicker recovery than traditional surgery.

The team provides diagnosis and treatment for a range of conditions, including:

• Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck
• Facial nerve disorders, including Bell’s palsy
• Facial trauma, including reconstructive and plastic surgery
• Mouth sores, tumors or growths
• Obstructions and infections
• Thyroid, parathyroid and pituitary disorders
• Skull base tumors (benign and malignant)
• Salivary gland disease
