Signs of
Parathyroid Disease

Parathyroid disease (hyperparathyroidism) is often caused by overactive glands producing too much parathyroid hormone, leading to elevated calcium levels in the body. Symptoms can be subtle at first but may progress over time.
Common symptoms to watch for:

About Parathyroidectomy

Parathyroidectomy is a targeted surgical procedure to remove one or more overactive parathyroid glands, most commonly performed to treat hyperparathyroidism and restore normal calcium balance. These glands play a key role in regulating calcium levels through parathyroid hormone (PTH), and when they become overactive, surgical intervention is often the most effective solution.

Parathyroidectomy Techniques

Parathyroid surgery is most often performed through a small, minimally invasive incision in the neck, allowing for precise removal of overactive glands with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. This targeted approach enables accurate gland identification, effective treatment of hyperparathyroidism, and a strong focus on both outcomes and recovery.

In select cases, when a patient is already undergoing robotic thyroid surgery, a robotic approach may be used to address both conditions simultaneously. Every procedure is carefully tailored to the patient’s specific condition, ensuring the safest and most appropriate surgical plan.

Conditions We Address

with parathyroid surgery

The most common condition requiring parathyroid surgery, where one or more glands become overactive, leading to elevated calcium levels in the blood.
It occurs when the parathyroid glands have been working overtime for so long that they eventually lose the ability to turn off; unlike the more common primary type, it almost always develops in people with chronic kidney disease or those on long-term dialysis.
Long-standing secondary hyperparathyroidism that becomes independent and may require surgical treatment.
Conditions caused by abnormal parathyroid hormone levels that affect bone health, kidney function, and overall metabolism.
