Advanced Endocrine Surgery Course
Participate in an engaging, realistic setting while an international, multi-disciplinary panel of experts highlights the nuances of complex decision making. Panelists will be unaware of the real-life clinical scenarios presented which creates a more practical approach and lends itself well to learning objectives of practicing surgeons with a special interest in thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal disease.
Course Objectives are:
Thyroid
• Select the appropriate therapies for benign thyroid disease
• Describe changes in ATA classification for nodules requiring surgery
• Discuss different approaches to surgery for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer
• Review complications of neck surgery and appropriate management
• Explore prerequisite labs and genetic testing for patients with MTC and poorly differentiated cancers
• Review surgical strategies for advanced cancers
Parathyroid
• Identify appropriate radiologic studies for diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism
• Explore diagnostic/therapeutic options for persistent/recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism
• Recognize nuances in diagnosis/treatment for secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism
