Head and Neck | Otolaryngologists: Daniel Chelius, MD, Elton Ashe-Lambert, MD and Matthew Sitton, MD The Pediatric Head and Neck Surgery program at Texas Children’s Hospital specializes in the comprehensive surgical care of children with cancerous, benign and infectious masses in the head and neck including the face, sinuses, mouth, throat, salivary glands, thyroid and parathyroid glands, neck, jaw and ear. These complex conditions and the effects of their treatments can significantly impact a child’s daily life. These conditions are rare in children, and their rarity and complexity requires a team of coordinated subspecialists through the entire treatment process. This includes efficient and accurate state-of-the-art diagnostics, multidisciplinary planning for optimized oncologic, cosmetic and functional outcomes and consistent postoperative therapy to help children return to their normal lives. We coordinate with pediatric oncologists, pediatric anesthesiologists and pediatric critical care medicine specialists to ensure the safe, high-quality care throughout the entire course of treatment. We have a team of speech and language pathologists, audiologists, physical and occupational therapists who assist us in the rehabilitation of these children. Our surgeons in pediatric otolaryngology also serve as a key participants in the Texas Children’s Hospital Thyroid Tumor Program. To fulfill our commitment to deliver the best possible care to our patients at Texas Children’s, we regularly collaborate with our colleagues in head and neck surgery from Baylor College of Medicine and from the University of Texas-MD Anderson Cancer Center.
