Endocrine Subspecialty

Every surgical subspecialty has been rapidly developing with establishment of the board certification. The Division of Endocrine Surgery (DES) of the European Board of Surgery has defined the curriculum for Endocrine Surgery to include thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and GEP-NET surgery, and handles accreditation in Endocrine Surgery. The first examinations in Endocrine Surgery in Europe have been introduced in 2003. The main goal of the exam is to maintain a uniform and high standard of endocrine surgical professionalism across the Europe.

General surgery is the common ancestor of all surgical specialties. Within general surgery, many subspecialty areas of practice have evolved. This book is the first manual recognizing the growing role General Surgeons play in Head & Neck Surgery. From benign to malignant conditions and form ablative to reconstructive challenges, the renowned comprehensive capability of the General Surgeon is well suited to demands of this discipline.
