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. We have conducted an extensive research throughout the continent in order to quantify how many trained endocrine surgeons were practicing, how many training programs exist, where we are today and where are we going in the future.
手术内分泌疾病患者的管理需要内分泌学家、放射科医生、病理学家和外科医生组成的多学科团队。随着手术内分泌疾病发病率的增加，内分泌外科已成为普通外科中一个公认的专业领域。全球内分泌外科医生的数量逐渐增加，然而，与欧洲和北美不同的是，该专业在拉丁美洲的发展还不够充分。我们在整个大陆进行了广泛的研究，以量化有多少经过培训的内分泌外科医生在执业，有多少培训项目，我们目前的状况以及未来的发展方向。
