Endocrine Surgery

Endocrine Surgery

Endocrine surgery is a specialisation within surgery that involves the diagnosis, treatment, and management of different diseases of endocrine glands. These endocrine glands involved here include the thyroid, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, and parts of the pancreas. These glands ensure proper secretion of hormones by the above glands, ensuring there is always proper hormonal balance within the body, regulating crucial functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood. Dysfunction of these glands can cause large-scale complications in the health system when they over or underperform in hormone production. Endocrine diseases take many forms, whether benign or malignant, and they might concern hormonal imbalances or growth abnormalities.
