Subsequently, we can arrange for further consultation to thoroughly review the results, guaranteeing you access to comprehensive, specialist care tailored to your requirements.

American Endocrine (AE) is at the forefront of providing advanced surgical interventions for conditions affecting the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. Our surgical services are designed to address a range of endocrine disorders with precision and care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.

‍

What are Surgical Interventions?

Surgical interventions at AE include a variety of procedures tailored to treat specific endocrine conditions. These can range from thyroidectomies and parathyroidectomies to adrenalectomies. Our surgical team is equipped with the latest technology and techniques to perform these complex procedures.

‍

Specialization in Robotic Surgery

We specialize in robotic surgery, particularly for thyroid and adrenal gland interventions. This state-of-the-art approach allows for greater precision, smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery times. Robotic surgery is often the preferred method for thyroid and adrenal procedures due to its enhanced accuracy and minimal invasiveness. However, for parathyroid surgery, we typically utilize a more traditional approach with a small manual incision, as this is usually sufficient to address the targeted parathyroid glands effectively. For more information, visit our page on Robotic Surgery here.

What Can You Expect?

When undergoing surgical intervention at AE, you can expect comprehensive care from our dedicated team. From the initial consultation to the postoperative follow-up, we ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable with each step of the process. Our surgeons will discuss the specifics of your procedure, including the benefits, risks, and any alternatives that may be available.

‍

Structure of Surgical Care

The structure of your surgical care will include preoperative evaluations, the surgical procedure itself, and postoperative care. Preoperative evaluations may involve blood tests, imaging studies, and other diagnostics to prepare for surgery. The surgery will be performed by our skilled surgeons, supported by a professional medical team. Postoperative care will focus on recovery and monitoring to ensure proper healing and function.

‍

Digital and Telehealth Services

While the surgical procedure itself cannot be performed digitally, AE leverages digital tools to enhance your surgical care experience. Preoperative and postoperative consultations can be conducted via telehealth, allowing for convenient follow-up and care management from the comfort of your home.

‍

Is a Referral Needed?

A referral is typically required for surgical interventions, especially if your insurance plan mandates it for coverage. We recommend consulting with your insurance provider to determine if a referral from your primary care physician or another specialist is necessary for your surgery.

‍

Pre-Surgical Exams and Diagnostics

Before your surgical intervention, specific exams and diagnostics will be required to ensure the safest and most effective surgical outcome. These may include comprehensive blood tests, ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI to provide detailed information about your endocrine glands. Your AE surgeon will guide you through the necessary pre-surgical preparations and ensure that all appropriate tests are completed prior to your procedure.

At American Endocrine, our commitment to excellence in surgical care is unwavering. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest surgical advancements, including robotic technology, to provide our patients with the highest standard of care. Our team is dedicated to ensuring that you receive personalized attention throughout your surgical journey, from initial consultation to full recovery.
