This operation represents the state of the art in parathyroid surgery.
If your surgeon does not offer this operation you should question why not and ask to see a surgeon who does offer this procedure.
If the operation is possible for you then why not have a tiny 2cm scar on the neck instead of a much bigger one?
The advantages of minimal access surgery are:
1. Small scar
2. Short operation time
3. Daycase procedure - most of my patients have this on a Friday afternoon and are home by the end of the afternoon
4. Rapid recovery
5. Most patients dont need any painkillers
