Division of General Surgery, Frankford Hospitals
Our department's surgeons are experienced in offering all types of operations for conditions of the endocrine glands*: the
thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. These highly trained specialists use the latest techniques and equipment, to make such surgery as successful, and as easy
to undergo and recover from, as possible.
Our team works in collaboration with your referring endocrinologist or family doctor. We take particular pride in our leading-edge ability to offer minimally invasive procedures for these types of surgery:
• thyroid surgery;
• parathyroid surgery;
• adrenal gland surgery.
Remember, it is important to find a surgeon subspecialized in endocrine procedures for these types of surgery, in order to
get the most skilled and up-to-date care. Not uncommonly, Frankford's team performs second operations for unsuccessful endocrine surgery performed elsewhere by surgeons
less familiar with this specialized area.
