Parathyroid Surgery
Bilateral Exploration
Bilateral neck exploration is performed when pre-operative imaging fails to localize a single adenoma or when multigland disease is suspected. Dr. Adarsh, based in Bangalore, systematically identifies all four parathyroid glands, removing enlarged glands while preserving normal tissue to restore calcium homeostasis.
About Bilateral Exploration
Bilateral parathyroid exploration is performed when pre-operative imaging fails to localize a single adenoma, or when multi-gland disease is suspected.
