Dr. Naveed Basheeth offers expert diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disorders, including overactive glands causing calcium imbalance. With his advanced fellowship training and use of minimally invasive and robotic techniques, he provides patients in New Zealand with precise, safe, and effective surgical care.
Most patients undergoing parathyroid surgery are discharged either on the same day or after a brief overnight stay, depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual recovery. The area around the incision may feel sore or tender initially, but this discomfort is typically mild and well managed with oral pain relief. Dr. Basheeth ensures that postoperative care is closely monitored, helping patients transition comfortably through the early recovery phase.
Within one to two days, most individuals are able to return to light daily activities, with full recovery generally expected in one to two weeks. A soft diet and plenty of hydration are encouraged in the initial days following surgery to support healing. Patients often experience noticeable relief from symptoms such as fatigue, bone pain, or kidney issues shortly after surgery, as calcium levels begin to stabilize.
Follow-up blood tests are conducted within a few weeks to confirm the normalization of calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. With Dr. Basheeth’s expert surgical technique, the risk of complications remains low, and the incision site heals with minimal scarring. The long-term prognosis is excellent, especially in cases of early diagnosis, allowing patients to return to a healthier and more active life.
