Some issues Dr. Frank M. Warren III, MD can help you with:

Cochlear Implant Surgery

A cochlear implant is an electronic device that helps people with severe hearing loss. Although it does not treat deafness or restore hearing, it can help its users to better perceive sounds. For adults, a cochlear implant is typically recommended when traditional hearing aids are unhelpful. Children may also benefit from a cochlear implant if they are born deaf or do not fully develop auditory skills. Surgery to implant the device is called cochlear implant surgery.

Implantation begins with an incision behind the ear. The surgeon will make an opening in the portion of the ear responsible for hearing, called the cochlea. The internal portion of the implant is then placed under the skin and attached to the skull, and the incision is closed. Part of the device is placed externally, behind the ear, and connected to the internal portion by a magnet.

Cochlear implant surgery may take between one and four hours. Most patients may return home the same day or the following morning. After surgery, patients will need to follow up with their doctor and specialists for fitting and programming of the device.

Eardrum Repair

Eardrum repair is a surgical procedure performed to treat ruptured eardrums. Ruptures are holes in the eardrum, or tympanic membrane, that may occur due to ear infections or injury. Often, a ruptured eardrum may heal on its own. However, if it does not, the hole may increase in size. To avoid complications such as hearing loss, surgery is required to repair the hole.

There are two types of eardrum repair surgeries: myringoplasty and tympanoplasty. Both procedures use a graft to cover the hole, or perforation. Grafts may be composed of tissue taken from the body, such as skin, or they may be paper or gel-like materials. The difference between the procedures is that during a myringoplasty, surgery is limited to the eardrum. Myringoplasty is typically performed for smaller perforations and for conditions in which only the eardrum is affected.

In contrast, tympanoplasty is used for larger perforations. It may also target other areas of the ear to treat infection, remove cysts, or address other issues. Common types of tympanoplasty include:

Tympanoossiculoplasty, which combines tympanoplasty with ossicular chain reconstruction (ossiculoplasty). The ossicular chain in the middle ear is composed of three bones, called ossicles or middle ear bones, which are responsible for transmitting sound to the inner ear. Ossiculoplasty repairs damaged ossicles to treat or prevent hearing loss.
Tympanomastoidectomy, which combines tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy. A mastoidectomy removes the bone behind the ear (mastoid), to treat damage or infection.

Depending on the type of eardrum repair, surgery can last for a half hour (myringoplasty) or for several hours (tympanoplasty). The surgeon will make an incision to access the eardrum. Infected tissue and broken bones will be removed, and a graft will be placed to seal the perforation. The ear will heal over four to six weeks. Patients may return home the same day following surgery.

Thyroid Surgery

Thyroid surgery is a procedure to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the lower neck that regulates the hormones that manage metabolism. Thyroid surgery, also known as thyroidectomy, treats thyroid disorders such as hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), goiters (noncancerous thyroid inflammation), and thyroid cancer. It may also be used to remove thyroid nodules or cysts that have a risk of becoming cancerous.

Both hypothyroidism and goiters are caused by an autoimmune reaction where the body produces antibodies that attack the thyroid cells for unknown reasons. The thyroid reacts by releasing too little or too much T3 and T4 thyroid hormones, impairing thyroid function and causing irregular metabolism. Goiters develop from the autoimmune reaction causing continued antibody damage to the thyroid over time. Thyroid goiters are large, swollen lumps that can be felt near the base of the neck. Obstructive goiters can cause pain, coughing, and abnormal breathing. Hypothyroidism may also be caused by iodine deficiency, as iodine is needed to produce thyroid hormones.

The exact cause of thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules or cysts is unknown. While thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules or cysts can occur in individuals with thyroid disorders, they are not associated with a malfunctioning thyroid.

Physicians may prescribe thyroid surgery if blood tests reveal patients' thyroid stimulating hormones (TSA) are outside of the acceptable range, indicating a malfunctioning thyroid. Thyroid biopsies (tissue samples) and tests for thyroid-attacking antibodies are also criteria for surgery.

An ENT or general surgeon performs thyroid surgery. While a patient is placed under anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision at the center of the neck and removes the thyroid gland. Two alternative methods of thyroid surgery are transoral (incision through the mouth) and endoscopic, where a surgeon operates a video camera for live footage to help guide the removal process.

Thyroid surgery requires minimal aftercare. Most patients recover quickly and resume normal activities within a few days of surgery. However, thyroid surgery patients must take daily synthetic thyroid medication (levothyroxine) for life to replace their removed thyroid.
