A new histopathological location of parathyroid gland with high possibility of unintended parathyroidectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Unintended parathyroidectomy occasionally happens despite meticulous capsular dissection and the histopathological location of removed parathyroid glands were traditionally classified as extracapsular, subcapsular, and intrathyroidal location. This study aimed to investigate the new histopathological location of parathyroid gland with high possibility of unintended parathyroidectomy that was difficult to be found with naked eye despite capsular dissection.

Methods

This study investigated unintended parathyroidectomy that occurred in 743 patients who received thyroid surgery by reviewing pathology reports and slides. The histopathological location of unintentionally removed parathyroid glands was classified as intracapsule and extracapsule, and the intracapsular gl
