What are the risks of hyperparathyroid surgery

Hyperparathyroidism surgery is hyperparathyroidism surgery, the risks include anesthesia risk, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, trachea, esophagus and other injuries. 1. Anesthesia risk: In general, the risk of anesthesia is even greater than the risk of surgery because of the poor vascular condition and renal function. 2. Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve: Injury to one side of the recurrent laryngeal nerve can lead to hoarseness and choking after drinking water, while injury to both sides of the recurrent laryngeal nerve may require tracheotomy. 3. Trachea, esophagus: parathyroid glands are behind the thyroid gland, close to the trachea, next to the nerves and esophagus. If there is a hyperplastic tumor, the gland enlarges in close relation to the surrounding tissues. The probability of damage to the surrounding tissues also occurs during surgery, which may pose an associated surgical risk. People with hyperparathyroidism should actively cooperate with the doctor’s examination and surgery to avoid risks, and it is recommended that the operation be performed by an experienced specialist. Blood calcium and parathyroid values are closely monitored after hyperparathyroidism surgery and need to be checked regularly.
