Parathyroid gland removal

Alternate Names : Removal of parathyroid gland, Parathyroidectomy

After the Procedure

Many times, people can go home the same day they have surgery. You can start your everyday activities in a few days. It will take about 1 to 3 weeks for you to fully heal.

After this procedure, you should have routine blood tests to check your calcium level.

Prognosis

People usually recovery very quickly after this surgery. Recovery is fastest when less invasive techniques are used.

Sometimes, another surgery is needed to remove more of the parathyroid glands.
