Objective  To analysis causes of reoperation for primary hyperparathyroidism and its clinical characteristics. Method  The clinical data of the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who had undergone reoperation from January 1993 to May 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Results  A total of 11 patients underwent reoperation were collected in the 226 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Of the 11 cases, 8 cases underwent twice operations, 2 cases underwent thrice operations, 1 case underwent quintic operation. After the initial operation, 3 cases were persistent diseases and 7 cases were recurrent diseases, 1 patient was not defined as the persistent or recurrent disease. The main clinical manifestations before the reoperation were fatigue, pain in joints, bones, or muscle. The reasons for reoperation included 3 cases of ectopic parathyroid lesions, 3 cases of recurrent parathyroid carcinomas, 1 case of enlarged operation extent for parathyroid carcinoma, 2 cases of regrowth of double parathyroid aedomas, 1 case of missing adenoma, 1 case of parathyroid hyperplasia. Among the location examinations, the 99Tcm-MIBI was most sensitivity (8/9). Eight cases were received reoperation on the original incision, and the remaining 3 ectopic parathyroid lesions on the new incision. After the reoperation, 2 patients were lost of follow-up, 1 patient died, and the remaining 8 patients had no recurrences during follow-up period. Conclusion  A comprehensive approach with multiple imageology examinations which attribute to accurate location of lesions, experienced surgeons and well knowledge of parathyroid anatomy and embryology help to descend reoperation ratio and improve success rate of reoperation.
