Our Approach to Endocrine Surgery
Endocrine surgery is a specialty of general surgery that deals specifically with organs of the endocrine system; thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. It is a relatively new specialty that combines the medical knowledge required to diagnose and treat endocrine disorders with the technical expertise required to execute surgery when needed. Close interdisciplinary management is the hallmark of endocrine surgery, which involves working together with endocrinologists, medical internists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and additional specialties. With this team-based approach, the patient is treated comprehensively in order to achieve the best outcomes.
