Endocrine and Thyroid Surgery
Endocrine surgery is a subspecialty of general surgery that focuses on treating benign and malignant diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. Surgeons at Texas Oncology merge technical expertise with a working knowledge of the physiologic changes associated with hormone excess and deficiency and can treat patients with surgical procedures, including minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgeries.
At Texas Oncology we are very proud to have endocrine surgery expertise for our patients. Fewer complications and optimal outcomes are accomplished when endocrine surgeries are performed by specialists.
