Track: Diabetes and Endocrine Surgery

Diabetes and Endocrine Surgery

The Diabetes and Endocrine Surgery session will explore the latest surgical approaches in the management of endocrine disorders and diabetes. This session will cover advancements in surgery for endocrine tumors, innovative techniques in diabetes management, and the evolving role of bariatric surgery in treating metabolic conditions.

Endocrine Tumors and Cancer Surgery this segment will focus on the surgical management of endocrine tumors, including adrenal, thyroid, and parathyroid cancers. Discussions will include advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques, personalized treatment approaches, and the integration of molecular diagnostics to guide therapy and improve patient outcomes in endocrine oncology.

Surgical Interventions for Diabetes Management, the Surgical options are increasingly being used to manage diabetes, especially in patients with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes. This session will explore surgical interventions such as pancreatic islet cell transplantation, gastric bypass, and the potential role of surgery in reversing diabetes or improving long-term glycemic control. Emphasis will be on patient selection and post-operative management.

Endocrine Surgery techniques have revolutionized endocrine surgery, allowing for reduced hospital stays, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery times. This session will focus on innovations in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted endocrine surgeries, particularly for thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal disorders. Attendees will learn about advancements in surgical precision and patient care.

Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery this session will cover the latest surgical techniques for treating thyroid and parathyroid disorders, including benign and malignant conditions. Focus will be on advances in minimally invasive procedures, intraoperative nerve monitoring, and the role of precision medicine in improving surgical outcomes for thyroid cancer and hyperparathyroidism.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a key part of managing various endocrine disorders, including thyroid dysfunction and menopause-related symptoms. This segment will focus on the role of HRT in endocrine surgery, particularly for patients undergoing thyroidectomy or adrenal surgery, and discuss the balance between treatment benefits and potential risks.

Bariatric Surgery and Diabetes has proven to be an effective treatment for patients with Type 2 diabetes, especially for those who are obese. This session will discuss how bariatric procedures such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy contribute to diabetes management by improving insulin sensitivity and promoting weight loss, and how these outcomes are being integrated into diabetes care strategies.
