Endocrine Surgery

Surgery performed with emphasis on one or more of the endocrine organs is called endocrine surgery. Endocrine organs are glands located throughout the body, which secrete hormones essential for maintaining homeostasis (i.e. a constant internal environment) and metabolism into the bloodstream.

These glands together form what is called the endocrine system, whose control and command centers are the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus. The other endocrine glands are the endocrine pancreas, pineal, adrenal, thyroid and parathyroid glands. Specialists who perform surgery on these glands are called endocrine surgeons.
