Endocrine (incl. thyroid)
Burnside Hospital’s Breast and Endocrine Centre specialises in integrated diagnosis, treatment, and support for patients with endocrine conditions.
Endocrine surgery is the surgical treatment of hormone-producing glands including the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands.
These glands play a vital role in regulating metabolism, calcium levels, and overall hormonal balance. Surgery can be necessary when these glands become enlarged, overactive or cancerous.
Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques, including minimally invasive procedures to ensure the best outcomes with faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Thyroid Surgery
- Total Thyroidectomy – removal of the entire thyroid for cancer, severe hyperthyroidism, or large goitres.
- Thyroid Lobectomy – removal of one lobe for small nodules or suspected cancer.
Parathyroid Surgery (Parathyroidectomy)
- Treats hyperparathyroidism caused by overactive glands, which can lead to high calcium levels, osteoporosis and kidney stones.
- Minimally invasive techniques allow for faster recovery.
Adrenal Surgery (Adrenalectomy)
- Treats hyperparathyroidism caused by overactive glands, which can lead to high calcium levels, osteoporosis and kidney stones.
- Minimally invasive techniques allow for faster recovery.
