Endocrine glands are a group of glands in the body that produce hormones that affect the function of other body organs or systems. While many organs in the body secrete hormones, the endocrine glands that frequently require surgery include the adrenals, pancreas, thyroid and parathyroid glands. Evaluation of endocrine disorders involves a close working relationship with endocrinologists, radiologists, gastroenterologists and oncologists in determining surgical candidates and maximizing successful patient care.

Endocrine surgery involves treatment of benign and malignant diseases of these organs. This includes thyroid cancer, thyroid nodules and cysts, Grave's disease, hyperparathyroidism, benign and malignant parathyroid masses, benign and malignant adrenal masses, benign and malignant pancreatic masses, and pancreatitis along with its potential complications.

Surgical options are varied based on the organ involved but they often involve newer minimally invasive techniques. This allows for faster recovery, reduced postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results.
