The Call for Abstracts for the 46th Annual Meeting of the AAES is now open! Join us in Lexington, Kentucky, from April 18 – April 20, 2026 for an event filled with cutting-edge insights, collaboration, and innovation in endocrine surgery.

Most #pheos and #paras are treated with surgery to safely remove the tumor. Preparation with medication before surgery is critical to control blood pressure and prevent complications. @TheAAES experts can help! @PheoParaAlliance #PheoParaAwarenessWeek2025

How are pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas diagnosed?. Doctors may use:. ✅ Blood or urine tests to check hormone levels. ✅ Imaging (CT, MRI, or specialized scans) to locate the tumor. Everyone with pheo or para needs genetic testing! @PheoParaAlliance

TODAY"S THE DAY - 8 PM ET!. 6th Annual Pheo Para Awareness Week with the @PheoParaAlliance! @TheAAES partners to present an expert, patient-focused webinar: . The Future of Surgery and Science in Pheochromocytoma-Paraganglioma Management. Register now!

Pheochromocytoma ("pheos") secrete catecholamines which cause “spells” of high BP, headache, heart racing, sweating, and/or anxiety. These symptoms can be difficult to diagnose with such a rare disease. @PheoParaAlliance #PheoParaPhorever #PheoParaAwarenessWeek2025

We're honoring the 6th Annual Pheo Para Awareness Week with @PheoParaAlliance! @TheAAES partners to present an expert, patient-focused webinar: . The Future of Surgery and Science in Pheochromocytoma-Paraganglioma Management. THIS WEDNESDAY 8/27/25 at 8 pm ET. Register now!

Wrapping up Parathyroid Awareness Month: When might someone require an additional parathyroid surgery after their initial procedure? #ParathyroidHealth #AwarenessMonth

Are you getting enough calcium? Here is an easy-to-use online calculator: If you have primary hyperparathyroidism, ask your doctor about supplements. #CheckYourCalcium #PAM2025 @TheAACE @ParaTroupers1 @TheEndoSociety.

Did you know?. Most mammals, including humans, dogs, and cats, have 2 pairs of parathyroid glands—that’s 4 glands in total! . But here’s the twist: rats only have 1 pair—just 2 glands total. These tiny glands play a big role in regulating calcium levels in the body. #PAM2025

What is "Focused Practice Designation (FPD) for Adult Complex Thyroid/Parathyroid Surgery"?. Surgeon has advanced expertise treating conditions like:.🔹 Thyroid/parathyroid tumors .🔹 Inherited endocrine syndromes.🔹 Aggressive/advanced cancers. #PAM2025

When it comes to parathyroid surgery, expertise matters!. High-volume parathyroid surgeons — those who perform more than 50 parathyroidectomies per year — have higher cure rates and fewer complications. #PAM2025. @TheAAES Surgeon Finder can help!

A large U.S. study found that most patients with primary hyperparathyroidism — even those who meet clear guidelines for surgery — do not receive a parathyroidectomy. This condition can cause bone loss, kidney stones, fatigue, and more — but it’s treatable with surgery. #PAM2025

Parathyroid surgery can protect your bones!. Osteoporosis increases the risk of bone fractures—especially in older adults. If you have primary hyperparathyroidism, having a parathyroidectomy (surgery to remove the overactive gland) can lower your risk of fractures. #PAM2025

Is Your Surgeon High-Volume? Why It Matters. When it comes to parathyroid surgery, experience makes a difference. 🔹 High-volume surgeons perform at least 30–50 parathyroid operations per year. 🔹 They have higher cure rates and fewer complications.

Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia (FHH) is a rare genetic condition that causes high blood calcium but very low urine calcium. It’s caused by a change in the calcium-sensing receptor gene, and it can look a lot like primary hyperparathyroidism—but it’s not the same! #PAM2025

🧬 Did you know primary hyperparathyroidism can sometimes run in families?.Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) is a group of rare genetic syndromes that affect multiple hormone-producing organs and nearly all patients with MEN1 develop primary hyperparathyroidism. #PAM2025

🔍 Ever wonder what really happens in the OR during parathyroid surgery?. TONIGHT join us: Behind the Scenes – Surgical Decision-Making in Parathyroid Operations. 🔗 Register here: . #PAM2025 #CheckYourCalcium

🧬 Is Primary Hyperparathyroidism Hereditary?.In most cases, primary hyperparathyroidism is not inherited—meaning it doesn’t run in families. Many patients have no family history of the condition and no involvement of other hormone-producing glands. #PAM2025 #CheckYourCalcium

Tomorrow's the day! Join us for an amazing webinar with live Q&A from expert parathyroid surgeons. @Paratroupers1 #PAM2025
