Thyroid, Parathyroid and Endocrine surgery

Endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream, and control function of almost every cell of the body. Endocrine surgery is an organ based sub-specialty of surgery, dealing with the treatment of diseases of endocrine glands. The surgical research in this field is highly advanced and ever updating and therefore surgeons treating these diseases need to undergo specific training in this field.

Endocrine surgeons are surgeons who specialise in surgeries on a variety of endocrine glands, such as the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, the endocrine pancreas, and various neuroendocrine glands.

Benefits of endocrine surgery

Endocrine surgery not only provides a cure for specific endocrine disorders but also alleviates or eliminates associated symptoms, leading to improved well-being and a better quality of life. Furthermore, this surgical intervention can reduce the likelihood of developing additional health complications such as:

Arrhythmias, blood clots and strokes
Cardiovascular (heart) disease and heart failure
High blood pressure
Kidney stones
Osteoporosis
Type 2 diabetes
