The Accuracy of Pre-Operative Ultrasonography in Localizing Parathyroid Adenoma for Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy (MIP)

OBJECTIVES To determine the sensitivity of pre-op ultrasonography in localizing parathyroid adenoma for minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) technique. METHODOLOGY The study was conducted at department ENT and Head & Neck Surgery, MTI Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar. It included a retrospective analysis records patients who underwent MIP from Jan 1, 2019, to July 31, 2022.

A ultrasound scan acquired mark site adenoma. carried out using 3.5 4 cm transverse skin incision over marked expose thyroid gland. If gland identified without any other aids, result labelled as "True positive". calculated SPSS v 26.0. RESULTS total 53 cases study. male: female ratio 1:1.8. ages ranged 23-70 years with mean age 48.49 standard deviation +_ 10.818. Pre-op accurately localizes 49 patients.
