Clinical Information
- Patients may need a parathyroidectomy if they have parathyroid masses that cause over or underproduction of the parathyroid hormone or PTH.
- There are multiple types of parathyroidectomy. They are traditional parathyroidectomy and scarless or transoral parathyroidectomy.
- If a patient undergoes surgery, some risks are changes in one’s voice, a sore throat, esophagus/trachea injury, bleeding/blood clot problems, and consistent low blood calcium levels.
- Before a parathyroidectomy, a patient will undergo blood tests, imaging tests, and laryngoscopy.
- For recovery, a patient may be asked to take calcium supplements and wait until their parathyroid glands work on their own.
Synonyms Include:
- Hyperparathyroidism, primary
- Familiar hyperparathyroidism
- Parathyroid hyperplasia
