Will i have to stay in the hospital overnight for parathyroid removal surgery?

Maybe: This is changing. Some surgeons do have most of their patients spend the night in the hospital; others allow most people to go home a few hours after their surgery. Some things that may affect this include whether tests have shown the exact location of the parathyroid tumor, a patient's overall health, and how far they live from the hospital.

De: That depends on the surgeon and whether you have any complications. Most people go home the same day after uncomplicated surgery of that nature.

Depends on surgeon: Has your surgeon addressed the issue of familial inherited conditions? It is unusual to have hyperparathyroidism at age 26.

Outpatient.: It is the trend but some surgeons and some circumstances mandate overnight observation. Stack BC Jr, Spencer H, Moore E, Medvedev S, Bodenner D.
