Parathyroid gland removal, also known as parathyroidectomy, is a surgical procedure to eliminate overactive parathyroid glands that produce too much parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism). This condition can lead to calcium imbalances and bone loss. During the surgery, one or more glands are removed while preserving normal ones to restore calcium levels.
