Endocrine surgery is the surgical management of endocrine diseases. Endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons typically work closely together to provide patients with endocrine problems with the best care available.
The term "thyroidectomy" refers to surgeries that include completely or partially removing the thyroid gland (lobectomy or hemithyroidectomy). Despite the fact that they are uncommon, the majority of surgeons dislike doing incomplete resections (sub-total or practically entire thyroidectomy).
