How Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy (MIP) is performed
This procedure is often used for well-localized lesions, with ultrasound/CT/nuclear medicine tracing to identify the target. Usually under general or intravenous anesthesia, a small incision is made for focused exploration, and the hypersecreting gland is removed, possibly with nerve monitoring and intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) testing to confirm the effect. Postoperative monitoring of blood calcium, PTH, and voice changes is performed early, with the goal of correcting hypercalcemia and alleviating related symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
