Abstract Aim To conduct a meta-analysis comparing two minimally invasive techniques; Video Assisted Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy (VAMIP) and Open (OMIP). Method A systematic review were carried out in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines. Databases from MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL identified Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs), coh...

We documented the frequency of nephritic colic in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, and determined its modification after the parathyroidectomy; we also studied laboratory parameters such as calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone in serum, and the excretion of Cao 24h, previous and later to the intervention. At sight of the results it is possible to be concluded that the parathyro...

The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone (IO-iPTH) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The cut-off for IO-iPTH monitoring remains unknown. This was a single-center retrospective review of 226 consecutive patients (107 males and 119 females) who underwent parathyroidectomy data for secondary HPT between May 2010 and March ...

BACKGROUND X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR) is a hereditary metabolic bone syndrome that is only beginning to be understood and is rarely associated with progression to irreversible tertiary hyperparathyroidism. We report our surgical experience with 6 patients with XLHR who underwent parathyroidectomy for associated autonomous parathyroid hyperfunction. HYPOTHESIS Parathyroi...

BACKGROUND Total parathyroidectomy with forearm autograft (TP) and subtotal parathyroidectomy (SP) are the two widely-accepted surgical procedures for treating primary parathyroid hyperplasia. Although TP carries an increased risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism and implantation site recurrence, it is still the preferred option of some surgeons. This retrospective study's aim is to confirm the ...
