Surgical Treatment of Endocrine Disorders
Thyroid Surgery
The Department of Surgery at the Republican Research Center for Radiation Medicine and Human Ecology is a leading center for endocrine surgery in Belarus. We specialize in the treatment of thyroid and parathyroid disorders.
- Hemithyroidectomy (thyroid resection)
- Total thyroidectomy
These procedures fully comply with evidence-based recommendations of top international endocrine surgery centers.
We use precision surgical techniques to ensure anatomical accuracy and safety, with mandatory visualization and preservation of:
- The parathyroid glands
- The recurrent laryngeal nerves, which are critical for vocal cord and laryngeal muscle function
When indicated, surgical treatment of parathyroid disorders includes gland removal with the possibility of parathyroid tissue autotransplantation.
Collaboration and Expertise
Our department works closely with regional endocrinology and oncology centers across Belarus, including:
- Gomel Regional Endocrinology and Oncology Dispensary
- Mogilev Diagnostic Center
- Brest Endocrinology Dispensary
- Republican Thyroid Tumor Center in MinskThe parathyroid glands
We also utilize telemedicine technologies to enhance collaboration and patient care.
Our endocrine surgeons hold advanced degrees and the highest surgical qualifications. They have trained at leading medical institutions in Belarus and at the Russian Endocrinology Research Center.

Parathyroid Surgery.
We provide comprehensive care for patients with parathyroid disorders.
In both the preoperative phase and during surgery, high-resolution ultrasound imaging of the neck is performed to localize abnormal parathyroid glands precisely.
Most surgeries are minimally invasive.
- Intraoperative ultrasound
- Confocal laser microscopy to improve diagnostic accuracy and surgical outcomes.
Adrenal Surgery
For patients with adrenal tumors, we offer:
- Adrenal-sparing resections, including laparoscopic procedures
- Adrenalectomy, also available via laparoscopic access
Surgical indications include:
- Tumors larger than 4 cm;
- Lack of response to conservative treatment of adrenal adenomas.
We perform the following surgical procedures:
- Enucleation of the tumor, including laparoscopic — preferred for benign tumors/span>
- Distal pancreatectomy, including laparoscopic access
- Subtotal distal pancreatectomy
- Pancreaticoduodenectomy
