parathyroidectomy, nuclear medicine and a single incision are used to remove a
diseased parathyroid gland.

Known As:
- Removal of
parathyroid gland(s)
- Gland removal
- Minimally
invasive parathyroidectomy
- Intraoperative
nuclear mapping parathyroidectomy
- MIRP
Conditions
Treated with Minimally Invasive Radioguided Parathyroidectomy:
Minimally invasive radioguided parathyroidectomy may
be performed in cases of an enlarged parathyroid gland causing
hyperparathyroidism.
There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to
minimally invasive radioguided parathyroidectomy. An open parathyroidectomy may
be performed as a surgical alternative.
Anesthesia
with Minimally Invasive Radioguided Parathyroidectomy:
Minimally invasive radioguided parathyroidectomy is
performed with local anesthesia.
Potential
Complications from Minimally Invasive Radioguided Parathyroidectomy:
Possible risks following minimally invasive
radioguided parathyroidectomy include infection, bleeding and a negative
reaction to the anesthesia.
Prognosis
after Minimally Invasive Radioguided Parathyroidectomy:
The prognosis for a positive end result following
minimally invasive radioguided parathyroidectomy is good.
Recovery
from Minimally Invasive Radioguided Parathyroidectomy:
Total recovery from minimally invasive radioguided
parathyroidectomy takes less than one week.
