Endocrine Disease Treatment Innovations
Capital Surgeons Group’s treatment arsenal includes the latest innovations that improve health outcomes and make procedures easier on patients, including:

• Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy
When compared to traditional parathyroid surgery, this approach leads to lower costs, shorter hospital stays, and equally high cure rates with low complication rates. In addition, patients appreciate that the procedure can sometimes be performed under local anesthesia.

• Recurrent nerve monitoring during thyroid and parathyroid surgery
Identifying and protecting the recurrent nerve puts patients more at ease with knowing that their voice will function well after surgery.

• In-office thyroid and parathyroid sonograms
Having this service in the CSG office is convenient for our patients and enables them to avoid a trip to a facility.

• Intra-operative use of the rapid PTH assay
This innovation enables confirmation of successful parathyroid surgery.

• Radioactive localization of parathyroid adenomas
This advancement is employed as a surgical guide in parathyroid surgery to increase surgical accuracy.
