Endocrine Surgery
Endocrine surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the hormonal system. This medical departement deals with benign (benign) or malignant conditions related to the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and other endocrine glands. Endocrine surgery usually involves surgical removal of masses, tumors, or abnormalities in hormone-secreting organs. With advanced technology and expert surgical teams, endocrine surgery aims to regulate hormonal balance by offering effective treatment options to patients.
