Endocrine and Minimally Invasive Surgery
The Endocrine and Minimally Invasive Surgery department is dedicated to providing specialized surgical care for patients with endocrine disorders and other conditions that benefit from minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Our team of highly skilled surgeons is committed to delivering patient-centered care using the latest advancements in surgical technology to ensure the best possible outcomes with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Comprehensive Endocrine Surgery Services
Our Endocrine Surgery services focus on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders affecting the endocrine glands, including:
• Thyroid Surgery:
Expert surgical care for conditions such as thyroid nodules, goiters, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid cancer, including minimally invasive thyroidectomy and lobectomy procedures that minimize scarring and recovery time.
• Parathyroid Surgery:
Specialized surgery for hyperparathyroidism, including minimally invasive parathyroidectomy techniques that precisely target the affected glands, preserving healthy tissue.
• Adrenal Surgery:
Surgical treatment for adrenal gland disorders, including adrenal tumors (both benign and malignant) and hyperaldosteronism, utilizing laparoscopic or robotic approaches for faster recovery.
• Pancreatic Surgery:
Expert care for conditions affecting the pancreas, including pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and cystic lesions, with minimally invasive options whenever possible.
• Neck Dissection:
Surgical removal of lymph nodes in the neck for the management of thyroid cancer or other head and neck malignancies, performed with precision to reduce complications.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Our Minimally Invasive Surgery program is designed to offer patients advanced surgical options that reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time:
• Laparoscopic Surgery:
A minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgery, commonly used for procedures such as cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), hernia repair, and appendectomy.
• Robotic-Assisted Surgery:
State-of-the-art robotic systems that allow for greater precision, flexibility, and control during surgery, ideal for complex procedures such as prostatectomy, hysterectomy, and colorectal surgery.
• Endoscopic Surgery:
A minimally invasive technique using an endoscope to perform surgeries through natural body openings or small incisions, often used for sinus surgery, esophageal procedures, and gastrointestinal surgeries.
• Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS):
An advanced technique that uses a single incision, typically in the navel, to perform laparoscopic procedures, reducing visible scarring and promoting faster recovery.
• Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy:
A specialized procedure to remove overactive parathyroid glands through a small incision, often guided by intraoperative imaging and hormone monitoring.
