Parathyroid Hyperplasia Treatment in India
About Parathyroid Hyperplasia
Key Highlights
-
Definitive treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism caused by gland hyperplasia.Effectively normalizes elevated blood calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.Alleviates symptoms like bone pain, fatigue, kidney stones, and cognitive dysfunction.Helps prevent long-term complications including osteoporosis, fractures, and cardiovascular issues.Modern techniques often allow for minimally invasive approaches with smaller incisions.Intraoperative PTH monitoring can be used to confirm surgical success immediately./ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Persistently elevated serum calcium and PTH levels confirming primary hyperparathyroidism.
- Symptomatic hypercalcemia (e.g., kidney stones, bone pain, fatigue, depression, abdominal pain).
- Evidence of end-organ damage such as osteoporosis, reduced kidney function, or nephrolithiasis.
- Younger patient age (typically under 50).
- Inability or unwillingness to undergo long-term medical surveillance.
- Markedly elevated serum calcium level (e.g., >1 mg/dL above the normal upper limit).
How to prepare
- Comprehensive diagnostic workup including blood tests (calcium, PTH, vitamin D, kidney function) and imaging (ultrasound, Sestamibi scan).
- Consultation with the endocrinologist and surgeon to discuss the procedure, risks, and benefits.
- Pre-operative assessment including ECG, chest X-ray, and other tests as required by age and health status.
- Discontinuation of certain medications like blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin) as advised by the doctor.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery.
- Informed consent process detailing the surgical plan and potential need for lifelong calcium/vitamin D supplementation.
Risks & possible complications
- Hypoparathyroidism (low PTH) leading to low blood calcium (hypocalcemia), which may be temporary or permanent.
- Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, potentially causing hoarseness or voice changes.
- Bleeding or hematoma formation at the surgical site.
- Infection of the surgical wound.
- Scarring at the neck incision site.
- Persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism if not all hyperplastic tissue is removed.
- Rare risks associated with general anesthesia.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital stay typically lasts 1-2 days for monitoring of calcium levels and pain management.
- Pain and discomfort in the neck are common and managed with prescribed medications.
- Blood calcium levels are closely monitored; oral calcium and vitamin D supplements are often required.
- Patients should avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 2-3 weeks.
- A follow-up appointment is scheduled within 1-2 weeks to check the incision and calcium levels.
- Long-term follow-up with an endocrinologist is essential to monitor calcium and PTH levels annually.
