Endocrine Surgery
The Thyroid and Parathyroid Center offers coordinated services designed to meet the complex needs of patients with thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal conditions. The surgical team’s expertise lies in their significant commitment to research and development.
They have received awards for research on such topics as angiogenesis – using mouse models that closely resemble thyroid cancer in humans to study the growth of blood vessels in tumors.
The division offers a well-balanced menu of services with the latest technology and expertise. These include:
- Ultrasound and fine needle aspirations to improve diagnosis and eliminate the need for surgery in many patients
- Minimally invasive techniques and cosmetic approaches using smaller incisions
- Recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring
- Radioguided parathyroid surgery
