Parathyroid Surgery

Overview

Parathyroid Surgery

Parathyroid surgery is a specialized procedure to treat conditions like hyperparathyroidism caused by overactive parathyroid glands. These small but essential glands regulate calcium levels in the body, and their dysfunction can lead to serious health complications.

Bone Density Scan: To evaluate the impact of calcium imbalances on bone health.
