Surgical management of endocrine disorders

Surgical management of endocrine disorders involves carefully removing or altering glands that produce hormones when they are overactive, underactive, or abnormal. This can help restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms. Procedures vary depending on the disorder; for example, removing a tumor from the thyroid gland or part of the adrenal gland. Surgery is typically planned by specialists to minimize risks and ensure the body’s hormonal system continues to function properly. Advances in techniques, including minimally invasive methods, help reduce recovery time and complications, providing effective treatment for conditions like tumors, overproduction of hormones, or gland enlargement.
