Dual Localization with Ultrasound and Iodine 123 and Technetium (99mTc) Sestamibi Scintigraphy is Superior to Single Imaging Modalities in Facilitating Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by a single parathyroid adenoma in the majority of patients. Localization of parathyroid adenomas prior to surgery has the benefit of allowing a minimally invasive approach. Over the years, multiple imaging modalities have been employed in an attempt to identify the site preoperatively, with varying degrees of success. In this study, we explore the accuracy...
متن کامل99mTc-sestamibi and minimally invasive radioguided surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.
The management of primary hyperparathyroidism is not without controversy. There is controversy as to which imaging technique (if any) should be used to localize a parathyroid adenoma (1,2). There is controversy as to when surgery should be recommended in an asymptomatic patient; although some would argue that all patients are symptomatic but simply do not realize it! There is also controversy a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and usefulness of (99m)Tc-sestamibi scintigraphy and gamma probe localization of parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and establish radio-guided minimally invasive parathyroidectomy at Hussain Makki Al Jumma Center for Specialized Surgery, Kuwait. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twelve patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (mean age: 48 +...
متن کاملParathyroid scintigraphy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: 99mTc sestamibi SPECT and SPECT/CT.
The clinical diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism is based largely on serum laboratory test results, as patients often are asymptomatic. Surgery, often with bilateral exploration of the neck, has been considered the definitive treatment for symptomatic disease. However, given that approximately 90% of cases are due to a single parathyroid adenoma, a better treatment may be the selective sur...
متن کاملMinimally invasive radio-guided surgery for hyperparathyroidism: an experience with Tc-99m Sestamibi
Introduction: Radio-guided parathyroid surgery along with other minimally invasive surgeries constitutes the main surgical treatment procedures for different kinds of hyperparathyroidism. In this article we have reported our experience of radio-guided parathyroid surgery using Tc-99m sestamibi. Methods: Ten patients with hyperparathyroidism included in our study. ...
