What is Parathyroidectomy?
Parathyroidectomy is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove one or more overactive parathyroid glands. These tiny glands, located behind the thyroid, are essential for maintaining calcium balance in the blood. When they become overactive due to hyperparathyroidism, excess calcium enters the bloodstream, leading to complications such as osteoporosis, kidney stones, and metabolic disorders. This surgery effectively restores normal calcium levels, alleviates symptoms, and prevents further health issues, ensuring improved overall well-being and long-term health stability.
