Thyroid & Endocrine Surgery
Endocrine means ‘secreting internally’. Endocrine organs like thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pancreatic islets, etc., remote control various parts of the body by releasing hormones (complex chemical messengers) that circulate in the blood. They influence almost every part of, and function of our body. Even minor alterations can lead to major, varied health problems and can be difficult to diagnose.

Endocrine gland swellings other than thyroid swellings are rare. Hence only surgeons devoted to these problems i.e. endocrine surgeons acquire enough experience operating on them, though General surgeons, Endoscopic surgeons and other specialists (ENT specialists, Head & Neck surgeons, Urologists, Cancer surgeons) do perform endocrine surgeries. Specialist endocrine surgery experience and facilities are available at very few centers around the world. We have experience of both endoscopic (minimally invasive) surgeries and open endocrine surgeries, a very rare combination. Hence in addition to effective and safe surgery, we are able to offer our patients many options. We perform surgery for a variety of Thyroid swellings including Thyroid cancers, Parathyroid adenoma and swellings, Insulinoma and other Neuro endocrine tumors, Adrenal and extra adrenal tumors (Pheochromocytoma, Conn’s syndrome, and Cushing’s Disease, etc.).

Laparoscopic Surgery
The terms Laparoscopic surgery, Minimally invasive surgery, Endoscopic surgery and Keyhole surgery - generally mean operations that are done through small holes and are less traumatic than traditional open surgery. Advanced optical and video technology is used to look inside the body through tiny holes. Miniaturization of surgical instruments and new (better than laser) forms of energy to cut and seal has made surgery possible through tiny holes. Tiny holes instead of big cuts leads to a dramatic reduction in pain, disability, scars, and complications like wound infection and Incisional hernia after surgery. It has revolutionized how surgery is perceived and performed. Recovery is rapid and one can have food and move around within a day and get back to normal activity in less than a week. Laparoscopic surgery is performed for Diagnosis of stomach pain (abdomen pain), treatment of Gall bladder stones, Appendicitis, Adhesions, Acid reflux, Hiatus Hernia, Hernia, and many more abdominal operations.
