Endocrine Surgery
Endocrine Gland Disorders
Your endocrine system includes your thyroid and parathyroid glands in the neck. Surgical disorders of the thyroid often present with a neck lump or overactive thyroid. Parathyroid gland problems are usually due to an overproduction of parathyroid hormone by most commonly a single overactive adenoma. Endocrine disorders can stem from a range of factors, including genetics, autoimmune conditions, tumours or infections.Â
If you are facing an illness, you require the best possible medical care from an experienced surgeon who operates with a compassionate approach, extensive knowledge and experience. Endocrine surgery is a highly specialised subspeciality that addresses thyroid and parathyroid gland disorders.
Nerve Monitoring & Endocrine Surgery
Our team utilises nerve monitoring (NIM) for increased safety and efficacy in endocrine surgery. Nerve monitoring enhances surgical precision, reduces complications related to nerve damage, and improves overall patient outcomes by safeguarding critical nerves during thyroid and parathyroid procedures.
Book a consultation with Associate Professor (Hon.) Richard Martin for thorough assessment, treatment and diagnosis. These are often complex conditions requiring multiple investigations before surgery treatment, and we are here to assist you towards optimum outcomes.
