Description
Book SynopsisThis book is a guide to endocrine surgery for practising and trainee endocrinologists.
Divided into 45 chapters, the text begins with an overview of applied embryology, physiology, and surgical anatomy of the endocrine glands. The next section explains thyroid function tests and their interpretation.
Each of the following chapters covers the surgical management of a different thyroid-related disorder.
The final sections discuss allied topics including endocrine radiology, pathology, the role of nuclear medicine in endocrine surgery, and radiotherapy.
Each chapter concludes with clinical pearls to assist learning.
With an internationally recognised editor and author team, the comprehensive text is highly illustrated with photographs, radiographic images, flow charts, and diagrams.
