2nd Latinamerican Masters Course
in Endocrine Surgery
The management of patients with surgical endocrine diseases requires a multidisciplinary
team of endocrinologists, radiologists, pathologists and surgeons. As the incidence of surgical
endocrine disorders has increased, Endocrine Surgery has emerged as a recognized
specialty within general surgery. The number of endocrine surgeons has gradually increased
worldwide, however, different from Europe and North America, the specialty has not
developed enough in Latin America; this second course tries to build continuity with the
promotion and dissemination of Endocrine Surgery as a subspecialty of General Surgery. We
will have the participation of Surgeons globally renowned from USA (Herbert Chen, Clive
Grant and Samuel Snyder) and Latin America.
This 2-day course contains discussion of relevant topics in surgery of thyroid and parathyroid
glands, live surgery and the possibility of applying new technologies (advanced energy
systems and neuromonitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve) in hands-on practice in animal
model.
The pre-congress module contains a theoretical and practical schedule to perform thyroid
ultrasound and percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsies among others.
