Effective CT Parathyroid Treatment

Medications and drugs cannot cure parathyroid disease or hyperparathyroidism. The only known cure is surgery and removal of the parathyroid gland which is overproducing parathyroid hormone.The traditional parathyroid operation technique requires a large incision in the neck to locate and examine the four parathyroid glands. Once the tumorous gland is found, it is then removed. Patients that opt for traditional surgery generally require at least one night of hospitalization, and the patient is left with a large scar across the neck.

Today, minimally invasive parathyroid surgery is an outpatient procedure that requires just a one-inch incision and can be performed in under half an hour. Preoperative parathyroid imaging and localization of the abnormal parathyroid tumor enables a minimally invasive or "mini-incision" approach to the parathyroid glands. Finding the tumor before incision allows a smaller incision to be made without the need for a traditional neck exploration. A 2cm incision is made directly over the abnormal parathyroid gland. Because over 90% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have a single parathyroid adenoma, it's usually not necessary to explore all four glands.

In the end, scarring is minimal. Patients can usually return home the same day.
