What is Parathyroid Surgery?

Surgical removal of one or more overactive parathyroid glands to treat hyperparathyroidism

Most patients recover within 2-3 weeks, though this varies by individual health, age, and compliance with physiotherapy. Light activities can usually resume within a few weeks; full recovery takes longer.

What are the risks of Parathyroid Surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, risks include bleeding, infection, anaesthesia reactions, and rare complications such as injury to adjacent structures. Your surgeon will discuss your personal risk profile during the consent process.

What is the success rate of Parathyroid Surgery?

Parathyroid Surgery has a documented success rate of 95% when performed by qualified surgeons at accredited hospitals. Outcomes depend on the patient's overall health, disease severity, and adherence to post-operative care.
