Track: Endocrine Surgery

Diabetes 2026

Session Overview

This session provides a comprehensive overview of surgical treatment options for endocrine disorders, including indications, techniques, and postoperative care. It emphasizes modern surgical innovations and the importance of personalized approaches to minimize complications and improve long-term outcomes.


Key Topics

Thyroidectomy and Parathyroid Surgery: Surgical removal of the thyroid or parathyroid glands is commonly performed for nodular disease, cancer, and hyperparathyroidism, requiring precise techniques to preserve nerve function and calcium balance.


Adrenal Surgery and Pheochromocytoma: Adrenal surgery is performed for hormone-secreting tumors and adrenal masses, including pheochromocytoma, which requires careful preoperative preparation and postoperative monitoring.


Pancreatic Surgery and Neuroendocrine Tumors: Surgical management of pancreatic endocrine tumors involves specialized techniques to remove tumors while preserving pancreatic function and preventing complications.


Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery: Minimally invasive and robotic-assisted approaches offer benefits such as reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery, making them increasingly popular in endocrine surgery.


Surgical Management of Endocrine Tumors: Surgery remains a primary treatment for many endocrine tumors, requiring multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure complete removal and appropriate postoperative care.


Learning Objectives

The session aims to enhance knowledge of modern surgical innovations and postoperative management. Attendees will learn the importance of multidisciplinary care in optimizing outcomes for patients undergoing endocrine surgery. It also emphasizes the role of surgery in comprehensive treatment plans for endocrine tumors and related metabolic conditions.
