Parathyroidectomy

What is a Parathyroidectomy?

A parathyroidectomy is a surgical procedure usually performed to treat, alleviate symptoms of, and reduce your risk of complications caused by one or multiple overactive or diseased parathyroid glands.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a condition that happens when too much parathyroid hormone is produced by your parathyroid gland(s). This leads to an increase in blood calcium levels, called hypercalcemia, that can cause a variety of health problems. A parathyroidectomy is performed to reduce your calcium levels and any associated problems.
