👉 A parathyroidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing parts of the parathyroid gland, which is responsible for producing calcium and other minerals needed by the body to maintain healthy bones. This surgery can be used to treat conditions such as hyperparathyroidism or osteoporosis. The goal of the surgery is to reduce the production of calcium in the bloodstream and bone matrix, thereby reducing the risk of fractures and bone loss.
