Parathyroidotomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of one or more of the parathyroid glands, which are small glands located near the thyroid gland in the neck. This procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as hyperparathyroidism, where there is an overproduction of parathyroid hormone, leading to elevated calcium levels in the blood. The surgery aims to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications associated with this condition.
