A modern, minimally invasive operation to cure hyperparathyroidism — restoring normal calcium and stopping bone, kidney and mood symptoms in their tracks.
You have four parathyroid glands, each about the size of a grain of rice, sitting behind the thyroid in the neck. When one becomes overactive (an adenoma), calcium levels rise and cause kidney stones, bone thinning, fatigue and mood changes. A minimally invasive parathyroidectomy removes the diseased gland through a small targeted incision — cure rate above 95%.
Hyperparathyroidism is often summarised as "stones, bones, abdominal groans, and psychic moans". One or more of these signs warrants assessment.
Prof. Kibria selects the most appropriate technique based on imaging findings, gland number involved, and whether you have had previous neck surgery.
For single-gland disease localised on pre-operative imaging. A 2–3cm targeted incision; intra-operative PTH monitoring confirms cure before closure. Smaller scar, faster recovery, same-day discharge for most.
When imaging is inconclusive or multiple glands are involved. All four glands are inspected and abnormal ones removed. Remains the safe, reliable fallback for complex cases.
For secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism in patients with kidney disease — 3.5 of the 4 glands are removed to control bone, calcium and phosphate disturbance.
For patients with persistent or recurrent disease after a previous failed operation. Detailed re-imaging, often supplemented by sestamibi and 4D-CT scans, guides a precise targeted re-exploration.
Most patients are surprised by how quickly they feel better — both in terms of the small neck wound and the lifting of long-standing symptoms.
45–90 minute procedure under general anaesthesia. Intra-operative PTH monitoring. Soft drink and a light meal that evening. Most patients are discharged the same night.
Short course of calcium and vitamin D, neck comfort with simple painkillers. Bloods checked at day 1 to confirm calcium normalisation.
Wound review with Prof. Kibria — sutures removed, healing confirmed. Office work resumed. Many patients note improved energy already.
Fatigue lifts, brain fog clears, bone pain settles. Repeat bloods confirm sustained normal calcium and PTH.
Bone density begins to recover. Kidney stone risk drops. Most patients describe a major improvement in quality of life.

Prof. Dr. S.M.G. Kibria — FRCS (England, Glasgow, Edinburgh, General), GMC Registered (UK), 18 years UK consultant practice, 35,000+ surgeries — performs minimally invasive parathyroidectomy with intra-operative PTH monitoring for accurate, single-gland cure.
Yes — in experienced hands, cure rates exceed 95% with major complication rates under 2%. The most important factors are accurate localisation, an experienced endocrine surgeon, and intra-operative PTH monitoring.
Same-day or overnight discharge. Office work resumed within 7 days. Full unrestricted activity by week 2–3. The neck scar fades over 6–12 months.
Overactivity of one or more parathyroid glands causing high blood calcium. Symptoms: kidney stones, bone thinning, abdominal pain, depression, fatigue. Surgery is the only definitive cure for primary hyperparathyroidism.
No. Once the diseased gland is removed, the remaining 3 normal glands take over. A short course of oral calcium and vitamin D for a few weeks is usually all that's needed.
A small 2–3cm targeted incision over the localised diseased gland — rather than a traditional four-gland exploration. Intra-operative PTH monitoring confirms successful removal. Smaller scar, faster recovery, equal cure.
Surgery is indicated for primary hyperparathyroidism with high calcium and PTH levels — particularly when complications such as kidney stones, osteoporosis, or symptoms are present. A consultation reviews your bloods, imaging, and symptoms to confirm.
