Endocrine surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands and pancreas has evolved to become more targeted and minimally invasive. This has been made possible by the advances in imaging studies and various preoperative and intraoperative technologies. A complete endocrine surgeon needs to understand the principles of endocrinology and oncology and how to appropriately use and interpret various imaging studies; however, these are dealt with in other textbooks of endocrine surgery.
Atlas of Endocrine Surgical Techniques emphasizes the technical aspects of endocrine surgery. The steps of each operation are illustrated. It is important to keep in mind that there are usually several ways to accomplish a surgical task. These chapters are not meant to show the only ways to perform the operations, but rather to provide examples of how they can be performed safely and effectively by experienced surgeons. The training of surgeons, availability of equipment, and patient preference all may affect how an operation is technically performed. We hope these chapters will be useful guides for those who take care of patients with endocrine surgical problems.
