The endocrine system is primarily concerned with governing body processes. Abnormalities of this system can lead to wide-spread pathophysiological effects. Since patients with underlying endocrine disease are frequently encountered in the operating room, an understanding of the normal gland and its pathology is essential. Because these patients are at increased risk, the identification of these patients and optimum preoperative planning are imperative.
内分泌系统主要负责调节身体各项机能。该系统出现异常会引发广泛的病理生理效应。由于手术室中经常会遇到患有潜在内分泌疾病的患者，因此了解正常腺体及其病理情况至关重要。鉴于这些患者风险增加，识别出这些患者并进行最佳的术前规划势在必行。
