About Endocrine surgery

Endocrine Surgery: Specializing in Thyroid, Parathyroid, and Adrenal Surgery

Endocrine surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the endocrine system. The endocrine system is responsible for producing hormones that regulate various bodily functions such as metabolism, growth and development, mood, and sexual function. Endocrine surgeons are highly trained professionals who specialize in performing surgical procedures to treat conditions affecting the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, and other organs of the endocrine system.

Jonathan Hubbard is a renowned endocrine surgeon who specializes in thyroid surgery, parathyroid surgery, adrenal surgery as well as complex re-operative surgeries. With over 200 Endocrine surgical procedures performed annually he has become one of the most sought-after surgeons in his field. His practice also includes gallbladder and hernia surgeries.

Thyroid Surgery

The thyroid gland is located at the base of your neck just below your Adam's apple. It produces hormones that regulate your body's metabolism. Thyroid disorders can cause an overactive or underactive thyroid gland leading to symptoms such as weight gain or loss; fatigue; hair loss; dry skin; constipation or diarrhea; muscle weakness or tremors among others.

Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove all or part of the thyroid gland when it becomes enlarged (goiter), cancerous (thyroid cancer), hyperactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). Jonathan Hubbard uses minimally invasive techniques such as robotic-assisted surgery which reduces scarring while improving recovery time.

Parathyroid Surgery

The parathyroids are four small glands located behind your thyroid gland that produce parathyroid hormone which regulates calcium levels in your blood. When these glands become overactive they can cause hyperparathyroidism leading to symptoms such as bone pain/fractures/kidney stones/fatigue/weakness.

Parathyroidectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove one or more of the parathyroid glands when they become overactive. Jonathan Hubbard uses minimally invasive techniques such as intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring which ensures that all abnormal glands are removed while preserving normal ones.

Adrenal Surgery

The adrenal glands are located on top of your kidneys and produce hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline. Adrenal disorders can cause symptoms such as high blood pressure, weight gain or loss, fatigue, muscle weakness or tremors among others.

Adrenalectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove one or both adrenal glands when they become cancerous (adrenocortical carcinoma), overactive (pheochromocytoma) or underactive (Addison's disease). Jonathan Hubbard uses minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery which reduces scarring while improving recovery time.

Complex Re-operative Surgery

Re-operative surgery refers to surgeries performed on patients who have already undergone previous surgeries. These surgeries can be complex due to scar tissue formation and other complications from previous procedures. Jonathan Hubbard has extensive experience in performing complex re-operative endocrine surgeries with excellent outcomes for his patients.

Gallbladder Surgery

The gallbladder is a small organ located under your liver that stores bile produced by the liver until it's needed for digestion. Gallbladder disorders can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting after meals/fatty foods/diarrhea/fever/chills/jaundice among others.

Cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder when it becomes inflamed (cholecystitis), infected (choledocholithiasis) or cancerous (gallbladder cancer). Jonathan Hubbard uses minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery which reduces scarring while improving recovery time.

Hernia Surgery

A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. Hernias can occur in various parts of the body such as the abdomen, groin, and diaphragm.

Herniorrhaphy is a surgical procedure used to repair a hernia by closing the weakened area with sutures or mesh. Jonathan Hubbard uses minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery which reduces scarring while improving recovery time.
