Some conditions of the thyroid and parathyroid need surgical intervention. Call us to book with one of our surgeons for advice.
The thyroid is a gland in the neck that produces a hormone called thyroxine. There are some conditions of the thyroid where surgery may be recommended. It is important to discuss all your options with an expert to determine the treatment option that is best for your situation.
The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands in the neck, located close to the thyroid gland. However they perform a completely different function. These tiny glands secrete a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH), which helps regulate calcium levels in your blood. Enlarged, abnormally functioning glands may need to be removed with surgery.
