Diagnostic and therapeutic determinants in parathyroid surgery: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The systematic realization of biochemical and radiological examinations of the parathyroid has increased the incidence of primary hyperparathyroidism; which explains the increasing incidence of parathyroid surgery. Our study aims to predict the factors determining the diagnosis and management of parathyroid adenomas.

Methods

We included 87 patients who presented with hyperparathyroidism and underwent parathyroid surgery. Ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and more rarely sestamibi, were performed to localize the lesion preoperatively. Body mass index (BMI), blood and urine calcium and PTH concentrations before and after surgery, and preoperative vitamin D concentrations were evaluated.

Results

In 90.8% of the cases, the location of the adenomas was ret
