Comparing subtotal parathyroidectomy and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation in renal transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPTX + AT) are considered acceptable surgical approaches for renal patients. It is common that parathyroid surgery is performed in patients before they undergo kidney transplantation and there is currently no evidence considering the best surgical approach in this subset of patients.

Methods

Two cohorts were identified of consecutive patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism by two surgeons at a single institution over equivalent time periods (SPTX and TPTX + AT). A retrospective chart review was performed to assess these techniques, including outcomes following kidney transplantation.

Results

There were 125 patients analysed, with 56 pa
