چکیده

We present the case of a 57-year old man who underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation into the brachioradial muscle (Wells' method) due to secondary hyperparathyroidism as a complication of chronic renal failure. Three years later the patient developed recurrent secondary hyperparathyroidism due to graft hyperplasia resulting in the removal of the graft. We point out various problems associated with Wells' method and discuss alternative surgical techniques.

Comparison of total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation and without thymectomy versus total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation and with thymectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism: TOPAR PILOT-Trial

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). Total PTX with autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue (TPTX+AT) and subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX) are currently considered as standard surgical procedures in the treatment of sHPT. Recurr...

Thyrotoxicosis Occurring in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Patients Undergoing Dialysis after Total Parathyroidectomy with Autotransplantation

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is characterized by excessive synthesis of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hyperplasia.[1] The prevalence of CKD is estimated to be 5–10%, and the burden of CKD‐associated diseases is alarmingly high.[2,3] Despite advances in medical therapy for SHPT, surgical parathyroidectomy remains t...

Pedicled parathyroid gland autotransposition in secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism.

INTRODUCTION Symptomatic hyperparathyroidism (HPT) refractory to medical management requires surgical intervention with subtotal parathyroidectomy. Primary HPT commonly manifests as a parathyroid adenoma affecting a single gland and can be treated with excision of this single gland. However, secondary HPT in the setting of renal failure or familial diseases often presents with multiglandular hy...
