Although not typically referred to as endocrine surgery, it could be argured that surgery of the pituitary gland, testicles , ovaries , and pancreas are also forms of endocrine surgery since these glands are hormone producing glands as well. More classically, however, only thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery are thought of as endocrine surgery with pituitary surgery typically thought of as a form of neurosurgery testicle surgery typically thought of as urologic surgery ovary surgery typically thought of as a form of gynecologic surgery and pancreatic surgery typically thought of as oncology surgery. The commonest endocrine surgery operation is removal of the thyroid thyroidectomy , followed by parathyroid surgery parathyroidectomy , followed by the rare operation on the adrenal gland adrenalectomy . Endocrine surgery has developed as a sub specialty surgical category because of the technical nature of these operations and the associated risks of operating in the neck. Beginning in 1978, specialty training became available in the United Kingdom and later in the USA to help train surgeons within this highly specialized field. It is well established that complications are much less common if performed by surgeons who do at least 100 thyroid operations per year.In the United Kingdom most thyroid surgery is performed by surgeons doing less than 20 thyroid operations per year.
