What is minimally-invasive parathyroid surgery?
Minimally invasive parathyroid surgery involves a minimally-invasive surgical technique to remove the abnormal gland under local or general anesthesia. In most cases, this procedure is done through a very small incision that is camouflaged and results in minimal or no scarring at all. In some cases, it can also be done with robotic assistance without any neck incision. At ChicagoENT, the procedure is simple and requires only approximately 15 minutes to remove the abnormal gland.
