Parathyroidectomy is the surgical removal of one or more overactive parathyroid glands in the neck, performed to treat hyperparathyroidism — a condition in which excess parathyroid hormone raises blood calcium to harmful levels. It is the only treatment that fully corrects primary hyperparathyroidism, with cure rates above 95 percent in experienced hands. The most common approach today is a focused minimally invasive operation through a small 2–4 cm incision, guided by preoperative imaging and confirmed during surgery by rapid PTH hormone monitoring; when multiple glands are affected or imaging is inconclusive, a traditional bilateral neck exploration is performed instead. Most patients experience a short hospital stay of one to two nights and can return to light activity within a week, with gradual improvement in energy, mood, and bone health over the following months.
A small 2–4 cm incision targets the single abnormal gland identified on preoperative imaging, leaving the rest of the neck undisturbed and allowing same-day or next-day discharge.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Serum calcium and PTH, Kidney function tests (KFT), Neck ultrasound, Sestamibi parathyroid scan, ECG, CBC and PT/INR, Vitamin D (25-OH), DEXA bone density scan. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,000 – $4,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~2 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~6 days recommended
