Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy [PDF]
Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is an operative approach for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Currently, routine use of improved preoperative localization studies, cervical block anesthesia in the conscious patient, and intraoperative parathyroid hormone analyses aid in guiding surgical therapy. MIP requires less surgical

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.

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

Usefulness of a rapid immunometric assay for intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurements [PDF]
Intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IO-PTH) measurements have been proposed to improve operative success rates in primary, secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (PHP, SHP and THP).

Does fluoroscopy prevent inadvertent parathyroidectomy in thyroid surgery?
INTRODUCTION Near-infrared imaging may facilitate intraoperative identification of parathyroid glands by causing autofluorescence but its clinical value has not been established.
