Re-explorative Parathyroid Surgery for Persistent and Recurrent Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is treated by parathyroidectomy. Excision of abnormal parathyroid tissue is curative in the majority of cases. Postoperative persistent or recurrent HPT has been reported up to 30%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of imaging techniques and determine the efficacy of reexplorative surgery. A total of 306 patients underwent parathyroidectomy bet...
متن کاملImaging of the parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism.
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is one of the most frequent endocrine diseases worldwide. Surgery is the only potentially curable option for patients with this disorder, even though in asymptomatic patients 50 years of age or older without end organ complications, a conservative treatment may be a possible alternative. Bilateral neck exploration under general anaesthesia has been the standar...
متن کاملMediastinal parathyroid adenoma causing primary hyperparathyroidism.
An ectopically placed parathyroid adenoma in the anterior mediastinum is a rare cause of persistent or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and is recognized as an important cause of failed primary neck exploration. We encountered 3 such cases amongst 70 surgically treated patients with PHPT (4.3%) over a 20-year period. In 2 cases, the offending adenoma could be removed at first explor...
متن کاملParathyroid hormone-related peptide and primary hyperparathyroidism.
The parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) has been shown to be the major pathogenic factor to humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM). The presence of PTHrP in many normal tissues and in normal or abnormal parathyroids has been described in literature and its role has been investigated. PTHrP release from parathyroid cells into the extracellular space has been demonstrated to depend on ...
