Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy

Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove overactive parathyroid glands, which can cause imbalanced calcium levels. Using tiny incisions and advanced imaging techniques, the surgeon locates and removes the problematic gland(s) with precision. This approach typically results in less pain, smaller scars, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. It's often performed under local or general anesthesia, and many patients go home the same day. The goal is to restore normal calcium levels and improve related symptoms efficiently and safely.
