Parathyroid Surgery
A
General Surgeon
or
Head & Neck Surgeon
will undertake
Parathyroid
surgery. It involves removal of one or more of the parathyroid glands (known as parathyroidectomy) under anaesthetic. There are usually four parathyroid glands, although the exact number may vary from three to seven. They are located in the neck below the Adam’s apple. The
parathyroid glands
regulate the balance of calcium in the body. Parathyroidectomy is usually done to treat
hyperparathyroidism
(abnormal over-functioning of the parathyroid glands), in which blood levels of calcium are raised, calcium is lost from the bones, and parathyroid hormone levels are raised.
