Abstract:
While there has been great progress in the past few decades in the management of endocrine surgery disorders, with adoption of new technologies and approaches, standardization of practice patterns, and guideline recommendations, unequal implementation of these improvement has led to differences in access and outcomes.

In this article, the authors will describe the current status of health care-related disparities in endocrine surgical care, and discuss opportunities for future investigation and issue an urgent call to action items.
