Comparison of total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation and without thymectomy versus total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation and with thymectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism: TOPAR PILOT-Trial [PDF]
Background Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is common in patients with chronic renal failure. Despite the initiation of new therapeutic agents, several patients will require parathyroidectomy (PTX).

Risk factors of recurrent secondary hyperparathyroidism after adequate primary surgical treatment
BackgroundSecondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common condition in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on dialysis. Parathyroidectomy is a treatment for patients when medical therapy has failed. Recurrence may occur and is indicated

Eucalcemic Parathyroid Hormone Elevation After Parathyroidectomy for Primary Sporadic Hyperparathyroidism: Risk Factors, Trend, and Outcome [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Patients with eucalcemic parathyroid hormone elevation (ePTH) after parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) may be at risk of recurrence.

Comparison of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy under local anaesthesia and minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism: A cost analysis [PDF]
Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) origins from a solitary adenoma in 70-95% of cases. Moreover, the advances in methods for localizing an abnormal parathyroid gland made minimally invasive techniques more prominent.
