Endocrine surgeon: Manages disorders of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, and neuroendocrine tumors—such as hyperthyroidism, goiters, adrenal tumors, and parathyroid adenomas.
Breast surgeon: Specializes in breast cancer (e.g., lumpectomy, mastectomy), benign breast lumps, reconstruction, and genetic testing (BRCA+ screening).

Endocrine surgery may involve minimally invasive techniques such as focused parathyroidectomy, thyroidectomy, adrenalectomy, or robotic-assisted procedures.
For breast issues, options include lumpectomy versus mastectomy (sometimes with lymph node removal), plus the choice of immediate or delayed reconstruction.

Endocrine surgery risks: Include bleeding, infection, hormone imbalance, scar, nerve injury, and potential need for lifelong hormone therapy depending on gland removal.
Breast surgery risks: Include general surgical risks and specific ones like lymphedema (from lymph node removal), scarring, changes in sensation, and reconstruction complications. Recovery time varies, and drains may be used post-op.

For both types of surgery, instructions typically include fasting before surgery, medication review, and pre-op labs or imaging.
Endocrine surgery is often same-day or short-stay; breast surgery may involve a multi-hour hospital stay. You’ll receive contact info for post-op updates and follow-up care.
