Almost always, this entails operating to remove a tumor which has grown on or within an endocrine gland. 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. More classically, however, only thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery are thought of as endocrine surgery with pituitary surgery typically thought of as a form of neurosurgery testicle surgery typically thought of as urologic surgery ovary surgery typically thought of as a form of gynecologic surgery and pancreatic surgery typically thought of as oncology surgery.

Ciaccio s glands are small tubular accessory lacrimal glands glandulae lacrimales accessoriae found in the lacrimal caruncle of the eyelid . They are located in the upper border of the tarsus eyelids tarsus , approximately in the middle between the extremities of the tarsal glands . Sometimes they are situated slightly above the tarsus. There are usually 2 to 5 of these gland s in the upper eyelid, and their function is to produce tears which are secreted onto the surface of the conjunctiva . They are named after Italian anatomist Giuseppe Vincenzo Ciaccio 1824 1901 , who described these glands in 1874. They are sometimes called Wolfring s glands after Polish ophthalmologist Emilj von Wolfring 1832 1906 , who described them during the same time period as did Ciaccio.
