Jan 12th, 2023 - Since reoperation for recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) increases the risk of complications, such as recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, it is vital to prevent recurrence as much as possible when performing the initial surgery. Therefore, ...

Jan 11th, 2023 - Hyperparathyroid crisis, or "parathyroid storm" is a rare manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism, characterized by sudden onset of symptomatic, severe hypercalcemia (> 3.5 mmol/L). Hemorrhage into a parathyroid adenoma has rarely been report...

Jan 10th, 2023 - The intent for this study is to do a retrospective chart review of all patients who have undergone minimally invasive parathyroidectomy for primary hyperthyroidism. All data collected will be recorded under assigned identification numbers that wil...

Jan 6th, 2023 - This study will see if the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with an FDA-cleared device 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands (PGs) during parathyroidectomy (PTx) procedures is better than a surgeon's d...

Nov 20th, 2021 - Hyperparathyroidism is defined as excessive parathyroid hormone production. The diagnosis is made through biochemical testing, in which imaging has no role. However, imaging is appropriate for preoperative parathyroid gland localization with the i...

Feb 23rd, 2020 - To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate thyroidectomy. Surgical management of thyroid disease has evolved considerably over several decades leading to variability in rendered care. Over 100,000 thyroid operat...

Mar 13th, 2016 - This American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) consensus statement discusses the techniques of laryngeal examination for patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. It is intended to help guide all clinicians who diagnose or manage adult ...

Jan 10th, 2023 - The intent for this study is to do a retrospective chart review of all patients who have undergone minimally invasive parathyroidectomy for primary hyperthyroidism. All data collected will be recorded under assigned identification numbers that wil...

Dec 21st, 2022 - Inability of the surgeon to identify or localize the diseased PG can occur in 5 - 10% of cases resulting in failed parathyroidectomies (PTx). As a result, persistent hyperparathyroidism can occur in these patients resulting in unnecessary repeat s...

Dec 7th, 2022 - Despite the relatively accurate preoperative topographic information, minimally invasive parathyroid surgery can still be very challenging, especially in the case of small adenoma in ectopic localization. Radioguided technique offers both help wit...

Dec 5th, 2022 - Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disorder of one or more of the parathyroid glands. The parathyroid gland(s) becomes overactive and secretes excess amounts of parathyroid hormone (PTH). As a result, the blood calcium rises to a level that i...

Jan 17th, 2023 - Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) received an expanded label to include first-line treatment for adults with type 2 diabetes as an adjunct to diet and exercise, Novo Nordisk announced. The Obesity Society and Obesity Action Coalition lent support to the...
