Parathyroid surgery could be performed in two different ways: first is a complete parathyroidectomy, and second is the auto transplantation of the removed parathyroid glands.
In the event the blood supply to any one of the parathyroid glands is endangered through surgery, the parathyroid gland(s) involved may be re-implanted in surrounding muscle tissue.
Affected individuals are also at increased risk of developing tumors in tissues other than skin - particularly benign or malignant tumors of the salivary glands.
