What is endocrine surgery?
Endocrine surgery is a specialised branch of surgery that focuses on treating diseases and conditions affecting the endocrine system. It involves the surgical management of various endocrine glands, including the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, and pancreas.
When is endocrine surgery recommended?
Endocrine surgery is typically recommended for conditions such as thyroid nodules, goiter, hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, primary hyperparathyroidism, adrenal tumours, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours. The decision for surgery is based on factors such as the size, location, and characteristics of the tumour, as well as the patient’s overall health.
What are the benefits of endocrine surgery?
Endocrine surgery offers several benefits, including the removal of benign or malignant tumours, resolution of symptoms, prevention of disease progression, and improvement in quality of life. For example, in cases of thyroid cancer, surgery can remove the tumour and potentially eliminate the need for further treatment.
How is endocrine surgery performed?
The specific surgical approach depends on the gland being operated on. For example, thyroidectomy (removal of the thyroid gland) is typically performed through a small incision in the neck. Parathyroidectomy (removal of the parathyroid glands) may be done with minimally invasive techniques. Adrenalectomy (removal of adrenal glands) can be performed using open surgery or laparoscopic techniques. Pancreatic surgery for neuroendocrine tumours may involve partial or complete removal of the pancreas.
What are the potential risks and complications of endocrine surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, endocrine surgery carries some risks, such as bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding structures, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Specific complications can include temporary or permanent changes in hormone levels, voice changes (in thyroid surgery), hypocalcemia (low blood calcium) after parathyroid surgery, and diabetes (in pancreatic surgery).
What is the recovery process after endocrine surgery?
Recovery after endocrine surgery varies depending on the specific procedure and individual factors. In general, patients may experience some pain or discomfort, which can be managed with medications. The length of hospital stay is typically short, and most patients can resume their normal activities within a few weeks. Follow-up appointments are important to monitor hormone levels, assess wound healing, and address any concerns during the recovery period.
