Endocrine surgery focuses on the removal or treatment of glands that produce hormones. Common surgeries include:
- Thyroidectomy: Removal of all or part of the thyroid gland, often to treat thyroid cancer or other thyroid conditions.
- Parathyroidectomy: Removal of one or more of the parathyroid glands, usually to treat hyperparathyroidism.
- Adrenalectomy: Removal of one or both adrenal glands, typically due to tumors or excessive hormone production.
