• Disorders of Intersex States

Children born with intersex conditions have anatomical variations that make it challenging to assign a clear gender identity at birth. Pediatric endocrine surgery plays a crucial role in providing surgical solutions to address these conditions. Surgeons work to correct genital anomalies and provide a gender appearance that aligns with the child’s gender identity.

• Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid gland is responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism and growth. Pediatric endocrine surgery is commonly used to treat various thyroid disorders, including thyroid nodules and tumors.

• Adrenal Disorders

The adrenal glands produce hormones that are essential for regulating stress response and metabolism. Pediatric endocrine surgery is employed in the treatment of adrenal disorders, such as benign and malignant adrenal tumors.

• Pancreatic Disorders

The pancreas plays a critical role in producing insulin and regulating blood sugar levels. Pediatric endocrine surgery may be required for pancreatic disorders, including pancreatic tumors (cancerous or non-cancerous growths).

Pediatric endocrine surgery plays a vital role in the management of disorders affecting intersex states, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas in children. Surgical interventions are aimed at correcting anatomical abnormalities, restoring hormonal balance, and improving the overall well-being of pediatric patients. However, it is important to approach these surgeries in a multidisciplinary manner, involving specialists from various fields such as pediatric endocrinology, surgery, psychology, and genetics.Dr. Saurabh Tiwari offers specialized care in pediatric endocrine surgery in Goregaon, Malad, Jogeshwari, and Andheri.
