Parathyroid Surgery in Delhi: Dr. Aloy Mukherjee
Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism with precision, minimal scarring, and rapid recovery.
Understanding Parathyroid Surgery
Parathyroid Surgery in Delhi is a specialized procedure performed to treat hyperparathyroidism by removing one or more overactive parathyroid glands. Dr. Aloy Mukherjee, one of the Best Parathyroid Surgeons in Delhi, performs minimally invasive parathyroidectomy at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital using advanced techniques that ensure precise gland removal with minimal scarring. The four tiny parathyroid glands, located behind the thyroid, regulate calcium levels in the body. When these glands become overactive, they cause elevated calcium levels leading to kidney stones, bone weakness, fatigue, and other serious health complications. With his expertise in endocrine surgery, Dr. Mukherjee ensures safe outcomes and rapid recovery for patients across Delhi NCR.
When a gland develops a benign tumor (adenoma), it overproduces parathyroid hormone, pulling dangerous amounts of calcium out of your bones and into your blood, a condition known as primary hyperparathyroidism.
Common Causes & Risk Factors
Several factors contribute to this condition. Understanding these risks can aid in prevention and management.
Parathyroid Adenoma
The most common cause is a single non-cancerous tumor growing on one of the parathyroid glands.
Parathyroid Hyperplasia
Enlargement of two or more of the parathyroid glands, causing them to overproduce hormones.
Radiation Exposure
Previous radiation treatment to the neck or face can increase the risk of developing parathyroid adenomas.
Genetic Factors
Rare inherited conditions like Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) syndrome can cause hyperparathyroidism.
Identifying the Symptoms
Bone Pain & Weakness
Severe osteoporosis or frequent fractures due to calcium being constantly stripped from the bones.
Kidney Stones
High levels of calcium in the blood lead to recurrent, incredibly painful kidney stones.
Chronic Fatigue
Overwhelming exhaustion, lethargy, and a general feeling of weakness or illness.
Brain Fog
Difficulty concentrating, memory loss, and mood swings or depression related to high calcium levels.
Diagnosis Process
To definitively diagnose Parathyroid Surgery and rule out other causes, our clinic utilizes comprehensive testing.
Physical Examination
Routine blood tests revealing abnormally high blood calcium alongside inappropriately high parathyroid hormone levels.
Imaging Tests
Sestamibi scans and specialized neck ultrasounds to pinpoint exactly which of the four glands is overactive.
Laboratory Analysis
Bone density scans (DEXA) to determine how much calcium has been lost from your skeletal system.
Our Advanced Treatments
Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy
A targeted approach using a tiny incision to remove only the diseased gland, often guided by intraoperative hormone monitoring.
Bilateral Neck Exploration
A traditional approach examining all four glands if preoperative imaging could not definitively locate the single adenoma.
