Welcome to the Endocrine Surgery Centre
The Bupa Cromwell Endocrine Centre provides a comprehensive service
for the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of all endocrine
surgical conditions, including:
- Adrenal gland tumours
- Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia
(MEN)
- Overactive thyroid disease
- Pancreatic endocrine conditions
- Parathyroid disorders
- Thyroid and parathyroid cancer
- Thyroid nodules and goitre
The Endocrine Surgery Centre takes a
multi-disciplinary approach to the management of endocrine surgical
conditions, using the Bupa Cromwell Hospital’s state of the art
equipment for diagnosis. It is supported by a first class team of
specialists in medical endocrinology, radiology, anaesthesia and
pathology. In addition, the Centre has comprehensive support
available from experts in radiotherapy, chemotherapy and intensive
care.
The Centre’s surgeons use minimally invasive techniques, such as:
focused scan-directed parathyroidectomy, video-assisted
parathyroidectomy and thyroidectomy, laparoscopic adrenalectomy and
laparoscopic pancreatic tumour removal.
Operations are performed with an experienced endocrine pathologist
always present in theatre. Microscopic assessment and the use of
intraoperative rapid parathyroid hormone assay allows confirmation
of successful parathyroid surgery during the procedure.
Intraoperative nerve monitoring is also used to safeguard the voice
in both parathyroid and thyroid surgery.
This is a useful reference site giving
information on all endocrine conditions.
