Parathyroid surgery
Parathyroid surgery is a specialized procedure used to treat disorders affecting the parathyroid glands, most commonly primary hyperparathyroidism caused by an overactive parathyroid gland or an abnormal growth called a parathyroid adenoma.
Our experienced endocrine surgical team provides comprehensive evaluation and precise surgical treatment, with particular attention to identifying abnormal glands and protecting important structures in the neck.

The parathyroid glands are usually four small glands located behind the thyroid gland. They regulate the body’s calcium and phosphate levels by producing parathyroid hormone (PTH).
