When should a patient who suffers from hyperparathyroidism be considered for a parathyroidectomy?
Parathyroidectomy should only be performed when other non-operative methods have failed to control a person's hyperparathyroidism. To clarify, hyperparathyroidism is corrected ONLY by a parathyroidectomy. High calcium is a result, but not the only result of hyperparathyroidsim, so a parathyroidectomy should be performed only when all other possibilities of high calcium have been ruled out.

Can a Medtronic Rep check a patient Ins. before surgery by a doctor?
No. The surgical procedure should be what the surgeon books it as. Meaning the surgeon plans on using instrumentation or allograft whether the patient has insurance or not. The only logical reason the rep is looking to see if the patient has insurance is exactly why you think he/she is: suggesting or implying the patient needs more of his/her product. Unethical. They should not even be looking in the chart.
