Why Dr Tourani?
Endocrine Surgeon in Melbourne: Where Precision Meets Personalised Care
Endocrine surgery is one of the most technically and intellectually demanding areas of modern surgery. It requires detailed anatomical knowledge, precise operative technique, and a deep understanding of complex hormonal disorders.
Dr Saam Tourani is a specialist endocrine surgeon in Melbourne with dedicated training in thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery. He approaches each case with meticulous preparation — carefully analysing imaging and laboratory results to ensure surgery is truly indicated and appropriately timed.
Dr Tourani believes that “an excellent surgeon is more than just an excellent technician.” He works closely with your GP and endocrinologist to confirm that surgery is the most appropriate treatment for your condition. When surgery is recommended, the procedure is carefully planned to maximise safety, effectiveness, and long-term cure.
Surgeon-Performed Thyroid & Parathyroid Ultrasound
A distinctive feature of Dr Tourani’s endocrine practice is his expertise in surgeon-performed ultrasound. Certified by the Australian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM), he performs diagnostic and interventional thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound directly in clinic.
This allows real-time validation of imaging findings, improving accuracy and streamlining care. Dr Tourani performs:
Ultrasound-guided thyroid nodule biopsies
Assessment of suspicious lymph nodes
Precise localisation of abnormal parathyroid glands for minimally invasive surgery
He also offers selected patients non-surgical treatment of thyroid nodules using ethanol or radiofrequency ablation, providing an effective alternative to surgery and helping avoid visible neck scarring.
Dr Tourani believes that “point-of-care ultrasound should be an integral part of every endocrine surgeon’s practice.”
Commitment to Multidisciplinary, Evidence-Based Care
As a leading endocrine surgeon in Melbourne, Dr Tourani regularly participates in multidisciplinary team meetings to ensure evidence-based, collaborative care. He is actively involved in training future surgeons and maintains up-to-date expertise through national and international endocrine surgery conferences and workshops.
When you choose Dr Tourani, you are choosing a surgeon who combines precision, academic rigour, and personalised care to achieve the safest and most effective outcome for your condition.
