title: [Endocrine surgery today].
abstract: Endocrine surgery is an important branch of modern surgery, and includes surgery of the thyroid and parathyroid as well as operative treatment of endocrine tumours in the adrenals, pancreas and the alimentary tract. Close cooperation between endocrine surgeons, medical endocrinologists, pathologists and radiologists is a prerequisite. The development of endocrine surgery has a long tradition in the Scandinavian countries, characterised by cooperation both in surgical training and research.
