sophiemay on 28 Jul 21The parathyroid glands are four small glands like the thyroid, located in the neck and close to the spine. These glands produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) that manages calcium levels and other minerals present in our blood. What do we understand by "Parathyroidectomy"? In medical terms, parathyroidectomy is referred to as a surgical procedure if one or more of the parathyroid glands develop excess PTH and swell. This medical condition is known as hyperparathyroidism. An excess amount of calcium level in the blood takes off far beyond normal (hypercalcemia).
