چکیده
OBJECTIVE To examine the feasibility of minimally invasive/focused parathyroidectomy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and negative results on preoperative sestamibi scanning. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Hospital. PATIENTS A total of 452 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism underwent parathyroidectomy between January 2005 and December 2009. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Preoperative sestamibi scans were reviewed, and their influence on the surgical outcome was examined. Records of the intraoperative and postoperative findings were also reviewed. RESULTS Seventy-seven patients (17.0%) were found to have negative results on preoperative sestamibi scans, and these patients formed our cohort study group. In this group, neck ultrasonography performed as an adjunct was able to preoperatively localize an area that was suggestive of a single adenoma in 61 patients (79.2%), 53 of whom were confirmed to have a single adenoma intraoperatively (sensitivity, 80.3%; specificity, 27.3%; positive predictive value, 86.9%; and negative predictive value, 18.8%). In total, 66 of 77 patients (85.7%) were confirmed to have a single adenoma at the time of surgery. CONCLUSIONS Negative results on sestamibi scans should not be used as exclusion criteria for minimally invasive/focused parathyroidectomy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. In our study, 66 patients with negative results on preoperative scans were found to have a single adenoma and were surgically cured by minimally invasive/focused parathyroidectomy.

Background. Reoperative parathyroid surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism can be challenging. Numerous preoperative localization techniques have been employed to facilitate a more focused surgical exploration. This paper describes a novel, minimally invasive, and highly successful method of parathyroid localization. Methods. Patients with recurrent or persistent primary hyperparathyroidism un...

HYPOTHESIS Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) depends on accurate preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid glands. If the findings of a technetium Tc 99m sestamibi-labeled single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (hereafter referred to as sestamibi SPECT or scan) are negative or ambiguous, cervical ultrasonography (CUS) may increase the success of preoperative gland l...

BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that primary hyperparathyroidism (HPTH) is the result of a single adenoma in 85% to 92% of cases and is cured following the removal of this one gland, many surgeons continue to perform a complete bilateral neck exploration for patients with primary HPTH. The advent of the sestamibi scan now enables the identification of patients with a single adenoma. METHODS: The u...

Background. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is increasingly replacing the traditional bilateral neck exploration in the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP). Intraoperative PTH (IOPTH) measurement has recently been introduced as a useful adjunct in confirming successful excision of abnormal parathyroid gland. Aims. We evaluate the safety, efficacy, and clinical usefulness o...
