  • ENDOSCOPIC THYROIDECTOMY AND PARATHYROIDECTOMY

    【Abstract】Objective To search for the significance of endoscopic thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. Methods Literatures about endoscopic thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy were collected and reviewed. Results Thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy may be performed with endoscope or with the help of endoscope. Conclusion By endoscopic thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, the patients are lightly injured without scar in the neck. The quality of life is improved.

  • The Analysis of Diagnosis and Managements for Primary Hyperparathyroidism in 73 Cases

    Objective To summary the experience in diagnosis and managements for primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT). Methods The clinical data of 73 patients with PHPT who underwent parathyroidectomy in our hospital from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 1 case of hyperplasia (1.4%), 67 cases of adenoma (91.8%), and 5 cases of adenocarcinoma (6.8%) among the 73 cases of PHPT. The common presentations involved with pain in bones and joints in 63 cases (86.3%), pathologic fractures in 17 cases (23.3%), osteoporosis in 59 cases (80.8%), fatigue in 28 cases (38.4%), abdominal pain in 4 cases (5.5%), urolithiasis in 17 cases (23.3%), malignant hypertension in 1 case (1.4%) who suffered multi-endocrine neoplasm (MEN)Ⅱa, and so on. The preoperativeserum parathyroid hormone (PTH) abnormally elevated in all 73 patients, and serum calcium abnormally elevated in 59 patients (80.8%), and alkaline phosphatase abnormally elevated in 62 patients (84.9%) before operation. The positive rate of lesion locations by ultrasonography, CT, 99Tcm-sestamibi (MIBI) scan, and the combination of 3 kinds of tests were 82.8% (53/64), 83.3% (20/24), 90.2% (46/51), and 91.8% (67/73) respectively, but 6 cases were not traced preop-eratively. Parathyroidectomy was conducted to all the cases, besides, regional neck lymphadenectomy was performed for those 5 adenocarcinoma cases. Tetany in 16 cases, hoarseness in 2 cases, acute pancreatitis in 1 case, acute left heart failure in 1 case were observed after operation. Sixty nine cases were follow-up for 3-72 months (average 17.3 months). During the followed-up period, most of them were alleviated from bone pain (43 cases) and fatigue (18 cases)within 1 month. However, the recovery of PTH and serum calcium back to normality were relatively slow. One case ofadenoma recurred, 1 case of adenocarcinoma suffered lung metastasis, 1 case of adenocarcinoma survived for 37 monthsprior to death for postoperative lung and bone metastasis, the other cases (including 1 case of adenocarcinoma developed from adenoma) were still alive and had no metastasis or recurrence by the end of follow-up. Conclusions The symptoms of PHPT vary and lack of specificity, hence, the enhancement of knowledge to this disease and screenings conducted for parathyroid function and serum calcium will increase the rate of diagnosis. Parathyroidectomy is the effective management for PHPT, and preoperatively accurate position contribute to minimal exploration.

  • Research Status of Normocalcemic Parathormone Elevation after Parathyroidectomy

    ObjectiveTo summarize the research status of normocalcemic parathormone elevation after parathyroidectomy for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. MethodsThe related literatures on normocalcemic parathormone elevation after parathyroidectomy were collected and reviewed. ResultsMost of the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism received radical treatment postoperation. NPE didn't predict failure of operation. The relationship between normocalcemic parathormone elevation and recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism remained to be further explored. Patients with normocalcemic parathormone elevation after parathyroidectomy had a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Postoperative vitamin D and calcium supplementation could reduce the incidence of normocalcemic parathormone elevation. ConclusionsThe clinical significance of normocalcemic parathormone elevation is still unknown at present. Further researches of multicenter, huge sample, and long-term follow-up will be necessary.
