Almost always, this entails operating to remove a tumor which has grown on or within an endocrinegland. Thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal The field of endocrine surgery typically comprises surgery for the thyroid gland , parathyroid glands , and adrenal glands . The most common endocrine surgery operation is removal of the thyroid thyroidectomy , followed by parathyroid surgery parathyroidectomy , followed by the rare operation on the adrenal gland adrenalectomy . Pituitary, testicles ovaries, and pancreas Although not typically referred to as endocrine surgery, it could be argured that surgery of the pituitary gland, testicles , ovaries , and pancreas are also forms of endocrine surgery since these glands are hormone producing glands as well.

Ductless glands are gland s that secrete their product directly onto a surface rather than through a Duct anatomy duct . Examples are the goblet cell s in the Epithelium epithelial surface of the digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems. Many endocrinegland s are also ductless glands, as they secrete the hormones they produce directly into the blood or lymph system so it will be circulated to the entire body. The pineal gland , the thymus thymus gland , the pituitary gland , the thyroid thyroid gland , the spleen , and the two adrenal gland s are all ductless glands.
