  • Thyroidectomy:

    This surgical procedure involves the partial or total removal of the thyroid gland, which may be necessary in cases of thyroid cancer, goiter (enlarged thyroid), or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Dr. Carroll ensures that this delicate surgery is carried out meticulously to minimize any potential risks and to maximize patient outcomes.

  • Parathyroidectomy:

    This procedure involves the removal of one or more parathyroid glands, which are located close to the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in the body, and their removal may be necessary in cases of hyperparathyroidism, where the glands produce too much parathyroid hormone, leading to high calcium levels. Dr. Carroll’s expertise ensures a comprehensive and safe approach to this complex surgery.

  • Vocal Cord Polyp Removal:

    Vocal cord polyps are noncancerous growths on the vocal cords that can affect voice quality. Dr. Carroll employs delicate surgical procedures to remove these polyps, helping patients regain their normal voice quality and prevent long-term damage to their vocal cords.

  • Vocal Cord Injection (filler, fat from liposuction):

    If a patient has a weak or paralyzed vocal cord, Dr. Carroll can perform a vocal cord injection. This procedure involves injecting filler material or fat (harvested via liposuction) into the vocal cord, which helps to improve voice quality by allowing the cords to close properly during speech.

  • Complex Surgery to Preserve RLN:

    The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is crucial for voice function, as it controls all intrinsic muscles of the larynx except one. Preserving this nerve during complex cervical surgeries is essential to maintaining voice function post-surgery. Dr. Carroll collaborates with other specialists in complex cases to ensure this critical nerve is protected, offering patients the best possible surgical outcomes while minimizing potential risks.
