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.
