Preservation of parathyroid glands during thyroid and neck surgery [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 The parathyroid glands are situated in close proximity to the thyroid gland. They have an important endocrine function maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body by the secretion of parathormone (PTH), which is responsible for this ...

Embryology of the parathyroid glands [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2018 The parathyroid glands are essential for regulating calcium homeostasis in the body. The genetic programs that control parathyroid fate specification, morphogenesis, differentiation, and survival are only beginning to be delineated, but are all centered ...

Cryopreservation of Parathyroid Glands [PDF]
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2010 The risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism following thyroid and parathyroid surgery is around 1% in the hands of experienced endocrine surgeons. Although this complication is rare, rendering a patient permanently aparathyroid has significant consequences on the health and quality of life of the patient.
