Endocrine Surgery

The Endocrine Surgery Program at Trinity Health of New England provides specialized care for disorders of the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. We manage the full spectrum of disease, from thyroid nodules and hyperparathyroidism to advanced thyroid cancer, reoperative neck surgery, and complex endocrine tumors.

Our program emphasizes efficient, patient-centered care with coordinated evaluation and treatment. This includes ultrasound-based assessment of thyroid nodules, biopsy when indicated, advanced imaging, and multidisciplinary treatment planning. We utilize modern surgical techniques and technology, including minimally invasive approaches, intraoperative nerve monitoring, and rapid intraoperative parathyroid hormone assessment, to optimize safety and outcomes.
