Baugh KA, Yip L, Ramonell KM, Carty SE, McCoy KL. Outcomes of subtotal parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism. Surgery 2024; 175:788-793. [PMID: 37945480 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2023.09.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal hyperparathyroidism due to end-stage kidney disease is associated with considerable morbidity, and when refractory is treated with parathyroidectomy. Recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism is a major surgical complication, yet initial target parathyroid remnant size and outcomes, including rates of recurrence are not well elucidated. METHODS This is a single-institution retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent initial subtotal parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism on dialysis, from 1990-2022. The subtotal parathyroidectomy was defined as resection of 3 parathyroid glands ± partial resection of the fourth gland leaving a remnant of ∼75-100 mg, and postresection intraoperative parathyroid hormone goal was 150-250 pg/mL. Clinical data were examined for outcomes. RESULTS Among 204 patients who met inclusion criteria, 139 (68%) had follow-up data; 58% (80/139) were women and median age was 45 years. Surgical complications included 2 hematomas (1.4%), 1 recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (<1%), and no patient required readmission for intravenous calcium. Using a target remnant size of 75-100 mg, recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism was uncommon (14/139, 10%) and arose at a median interval of 58.6 months (range, 8-180). In cases of recurrence, the postresection intraoperative parathyroid hormone level was less likely to drop <250 pg/mL (40%, 4/10 vs nonrecurrence 65%, 80/123; P = .11) with a slightly lower median decrease (70% vs 81% in nonrecurrence, P = .8); however, neither were significant. Recurrence did not occur in the 19 patients who later received kidney transplantation (P = .2). CONCLUSION In subtotal parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism, use of a target 75-100 mg remnant size results in low complication rates. Durable cure appears to be more likely with renal transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) frequently affects patients with end-stage renal disease. Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a common complication among patients who undergo parathyroidectomy for SHPT and may cause prolonged hospitalization or require intensive care. The objective of this study is to develop a scoring system to stratify patients according to their risk of developing HBS. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed using the US Renal Data System (2010-2021). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were developed and weighted β-coefficients from the multivariable model were used to construct a risk score for the development of HBS. Positive and negative predictive values were assessed. RESULTS Of 17 074 patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for SHPT, 19.4% developed HBS. Intensive care unit admission was more common in patients who developed HBS (33.5% vs 24.6%, P < .001). On multivariable logistic regression analysis, younger age, renal osteodystrophy, longer duration of dialysis, longer duration of kidney transplant, and higher Elixhauser score were significantly associated with HBS. A risk score based on these clinical factors was developed, with a total of 6 possible points. Rates of HBS ranged from 8% in patients with 0 points to 44% in patients with 6 points. The risk score had a poor positive predictive value (20.3%) but excellent negative predictive value (89.3%) for HBS. CONCLUSION We developed a weighted risk score that effectively stratifies patients by risk for developing HBS after parathyroidectomy. This tool can be used to counsel patients and to identify patients who may not require postoperative hospitalization.

Abstract
Background No consensus has been reached on the best surgical approach for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). We evaluated the short-term and long-term efficacy and safety of total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPTX + AT) and subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 140 patients undergoing TPTX + AT and 64 undergoing SPTX between 2010 and 2021 in Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, and carried out follow-up. We compared the differences in symptoms, serological examinations, complications and mortality between the two methods, and explored the independent risk factors of secondary hyperparathyroidism recurrence. Results In short time after surgery, serum intact parathyroid hormone and calcium level was lower in TPTX + AT group than that in SPTX group (both P < 0.05). Severe hypocalcemia was more common in TPTX group (P = 0.003). The recurrent rate was 17.1% for TPTX + AT and 34.4% for SPTX (P = 0.006). There was no statistical difference in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality between the two methods. Higher preoperative serum phosphorus level (HR: 1.929 95% CI 1.045-3.563, P = 0.011) and the SPTX surgical method (HR: 2.309, 95% CI 1.276-4.176, P = 0.006) were found to be independent risk factors for SHPT recurrence. Conclusions Compared with SPTX, TPTX + AT is more effective in reducing the recurrent risk of SHPT without increasing the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a major problem for patients with chronic kidney disease and can cause many complications, including osteodystrophy, fractures, and cardiovascular diseases. Treatment for SHPT has changed radically with the advent of calcimimetics; however, parathyroidectomy (PTx) remains one of the most important treatments. For successful PTx, removing all parathyroid glands (PTGs) without complications is essential to prevent persistent or recurrent SHPT. Preoperative imaging studies for the localization of PTGs, such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, and 99mTc-Sestamibi scintigraphy, and intraoperative evaluation methods to confirm the removal of all PTGs, including, intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone monitoring and frozen section diagnosis, are useful. Functional and anatomical preservation of the recurrent laryngeal nerves can be confirmed via intraoperative nerve monitoring. Total or subtotal PTx with or without transcervical thymectomy and autotransplantation can also be performed. Appropriate operative methods for PTx should be selected according to the patients' need for kidney transplantation. In the case of persistent or recurrent SHPT after the initial PTx, localization of the causative PTGs with autotransplantation is challenging as causative PTGs can exist in the neck, mediastinum, or autotransplanted areas. Additionally, the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of calcimimetics and PTx are increasingly being discussed. In this review, medical and surgical treatments for SHPT are described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parathyroidectomy (PTx) is the most effective treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Literature regarding the effect of surgical approaches on postoperative hypocalcemia is limited and mainly focuses on postoperative calcium levels. This study aims to evaluate the association of subtotal PTx and total PTx with autotransplantation for secondary hyperparathyroidism with postoperative hypocalcemia. STUDY DESIGN We reviewed all dialysis patients who underwent PTx (n = 143) at our institution from 2010 to 2021. Postoperative hypocalcemia adverse events were defined as postoperative intravenous calcium requirement or 30-day readmission due to hypocalcemia. Postoperative hypocalcemia adverse events, length of stay, and oral calcium requirement at 1-month follow-up were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS Of the 143 patients, 119 (83.2%) underwent total PTx with autotransplantation, and 24 (16.8%) underwent subtotal PTx. Patients who underwent subtotal PTx had shorter mean ± SD length of stay (1.8 ± 1.7 vs 3.5 ± 3.2, p = 0.002), were less likely to develop hypocalcemia adverse events (8.3% vs 47.1%, p < 0.001), and required less median elemental calcium supplementation at 1-month follow-up (1,558 vs 3,193 mg, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in surgical success between the 2 groups (91.7% vs 89.1%, p = 0.706). Stepwise multivariable regression demonstrated that patients who underwent total PTx with autotransplantation were 11.9 times more likely to develop hypocalcemia adverse events (adjusted odds ratio 11.9, 95% CI 2.2 to 66.2, p = 0.004), had 1.24 days longer length of stay (95% CI 0.04 to 2.44, p = 0.044), and required 1,776.1 mg more elemental calcium (95% CI 661.5 to 2,890.6 mg, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Subtotal parathyroidectomy is associated with less postoperative hypocalcemia and provides similar surgical cure for dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Secondary hyperparathyroidism remains the main complication of mineral and bone metabolism in patients with chronic kidney disease. In case of resistance to medical treatment (native and active vitamin D, calcium and calcimimetics), surgical parathyroidectomy is indicated. The aim of this retrospective study is to show the evolution of the incidence and results of surgical parathyroidectomy in our center between 1980 and 2020 as patient characteristics, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have changed. PATIENTS AND METHODS We collected data from dialysis patients who had a first surgical parathyroidectomy between 2000 and 2020 (period 2) in the same surgical department and compared them with historical data between 1980 and 1999 (period 1) operated in one other center. RESULTS In period 1, 53 surgical parathyroidectomy were performed (2.78/year, 0 to 5, 8.5/1000 patients-year) vs.56 surgical parathyroidectomy in period 2 (2.8/year, 0 to 9, 8/1000 patients-year). The patients of the 2 periods were comparable except for the higher dialysis vintage in period 1 (149±170 vs.89±94 months; P=0.02). In comparison with dialysis patients not requiring surgical parathyroidectomy during the same period, patients who had surgical parathyroidectomy were younger, had higher dialysis vintage and lower diabetes prevalence, but more frequently carriers of glomerulopathy or polycystosis. Systematically performed in period 2, cervical ultrasound identified at least one visible gland in 78.6% of cases while the scintigraphy, performed only in 66% of cases, found at least one gland in 81% of cases. Twelve months after surgery, PTH > 300 pg/mL (marker of secondary hyperparathyroidism recurrence or surgery failure) was present in 30% of patients in period 1 vs. 5.3% in period 2. Hypoparathyroidism was also more frequently observed in period 2 (35.7 vs. 18.8%). Surgical complications were also higher in period 1. CONCLUSION Despite therapeutic and strategic advances, severe secondary hyperparathyroidism is still as common as ever. It is favored by excessively high PTH targets, by suboptimal prevention before dialysis and poor tolerance of calcimimetics. The surgical parathyroidectomy is effective and safe in the hands of a specialized team with an ultrasound and scintigraphic preoperative assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop evidence-based recommendations for safe, effective, and appropriate treatment of secondary (SHPT) and tertiary (THPT) renal hyperparathyroidism. BACKGROUND Hyperparathyroidism is common among patients with chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, and kidney transplant. The surgical management of SHPT and THPT is nuanced and requires a multidisciplinary approach. There are currently no clinical practice guidelines that address the surgical treatment of SHPT and THPT. METHODS Medical literature was reviewed from January 1, 1985 to present January 1, 2021 by a panel of 10 experts in SHPT and THPT. Recommendations using the best available evidence was constructed. The American College of Physicians grading system was used to determine levels of evidence. Recommendations were discussed to consensus. The American Association of Endocrine Surgeons membership reviewed and commented on preliminary drafts of the content. RESULTS These clinical guidelines present the epidemiology and pathophysiology of SHPT and THPT and provide recommendations for work-up and management of SHPT and THPT for all involved clinicians. It outlines the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management of SHPT and THPT, as well as related definitions, operative techniques, morbidity, and outcomes. Specific topics include Pathogenesis and Epidemiology, Initial Evaluation, Imaging, Preoperative and Perioperative Care, Surgical Planning and Parathyroidectomy, Adjuncts and Approaches, Outcomes, and Reoperation. CONCLUSIONS Evidence-based guidelines were created to assist clinicians in the optimal management of secondary and tertiary renal hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder may persist after successful kidney transplantation. Persistent hyperparathyroidism has been identified in up to 80% of patients throughout the first year after kidney transplantation. International guidelines lack strict recommendations about the management of persistent hyperparathyroidism. However, it is associated with adverse graft and patient outcomes, including higher fracture risk and an increased risk of all-cause mortality and allograft loss. Secondary hyperparathyroidism may be treated medically (vitamin D, phosphate binders and calcimimetics) or surgically (parathyroidectomy). Guideline recommendations suggest medical therapy first but do not clarify optimal parathyroid hormone targets or indications and timing of parathyroidectomy. There are no clear guidelines or long-term studies about the impact of hyperparathyroidism therapy. Parathyroidectomy is more effective than medical treatment, although it is associated with increased short-term risks. Ideally parathyroidectomy should be performed before kidney transplantation to prevent persistent hyperparathyroidism and improve graft outcomes. We now propose a roadmap for the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients eligible for kidney transplantation that includes the indications and timing (pre- or post-kidney transplantation) of parathyroidectomy, the evaluation of parathyroid gland size and the integration of parathyroid gland size in the decision-making process by a multidisciplinary team of nephrologists, radiologists and surgeons.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of total parathyroidectomy followed by modified needle-quantified injection of parathyroid autograft compared with classic incision and transplantation. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 171 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism treated by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. These patients were included in our study from April 2006 to December 2016, who had undergone total parathyroidectomies with autotransplantation. Patients were divided into classic incision for transplantation of parathyroid autograft group and modified needle-quantified injection group. Clinical and biochemical characteristics, including preoperative and postoperative intact parathyroid hormone levels were recorded and compared between two group patients. RESULTS To compare the techniques of modified needle-quantified injection and classic incision and transplantation, pre- and postoperative biochemistry and length of operation was recorded and analyzed. Preoperative biochemistry was similarly in both groups. However, autograft function achieved was significantly faster in the group with modified needle-quantified injection compared with classic incision and transplantation (P = 0.03). Median time to parathyroid function regain was 3 months for injection compared with 7 months for classic incision. There was no remarkable difference in the recurrence rates between the two groups. CONCLUSION The modified needle-quantified injection of parathyroid tissue is a feasible and simple alternative to the more commonly used method of classic incision and transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is performed in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Whether and how the number of glands removed affects parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels remain controversial. The objective of this study is to compare the biochemical and pharmacological evolution after subtotal PTX according to the number of glands removed in ESRD. METHODS This is a unicenter longitudinal retrospective cohort study of ESRD patients who have undergone PTX [< 3 glands (group 1) vs ≥ 3 glands (group 2)] from April 2006 to October 2014 at CHU de Québec, Canada. Demographic data, comorbidities, pharmacological and biochemical parameters were collected before, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after PTX. Linear mixed model was performed to compare the biochemical and pharmacological evolution. RESULTS We included 37 (13 in group 1, 24 in group 2) ESRD patients with a median age of 53 (46-58) years. The population is 68% male with a median dialysis vintage of 30.7 (18.0-61.2) months. The two groups were similar in terms of demographics and comorbidities. Compared to baseline, PTH levels in groups 1 and 2 dropped significantly at 2 years (1239-361 ng/L and 1542-398 ng/L, p < 0.05) but the evolution was comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Our results show the efficacy of subtotal PTX in lowering PTH levels in our ESRD cohort. However, the results were not different according to the number of glands removed.

[PMID: 31889554 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjoto.2019.102370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2019] [Revised: 12/02/2019] [Accepted: 12/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Main surgical treatments for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) include subtotal parathyroidectomy (sPTX), total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (tPTX+AT), and total parathyroidectomy (tPTX); however, determining the best treatment is debatable. We conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) comparing three treatments in terms of postoperative hypocalcemia (or hypoparathyroidism), postoperative recurrence, and reoperation. METHODS We searched PubMed, Medline, the Cochrane Library, and Embase for relevant research from inception to July 30, 2019. We performed our Bayesian NMA using R 3.51 software to assess odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Network and forest plots displayed study outputs. Potential publication bias was assessed with funnel plots using software Stata/MP 13.0. RESULTS Twenty-six articles comprising 5063 patients were included in our NMA, which showed that postoperative hypocalcemia (or hypoparathyroidism) occurred more frequently in tPTX than in sPTX (OR = 3.50, 95% CI 1.10-11.0) or tPTX+AT patients (OR = 1.80, 95% CI 0.66-5.20). Regarding postoperative hypocalcemia (or hypoparathyroidism), there was no significant difference between sPTX and tPTX+AT (OR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.24-1.10). As for recurrence rates, statistically significant differences were observed between sPTX and tPTX (OR = 25.0, 95% CI 5.1-260), tPTX+AT and tPTX (OR = 20.0, 95% CI 4.2-200), and sPTX and tPTX+AT (OR = 1.30, 95% CI 0.65-2.50). Regarding reoperation rates, sPTX experienced higher incidence compared with tPTX+AT (OR = 1.20, 95% CI 0.53-2.70) or tPTX patients (OR = 2.70, 95% CI 1.20-14.00). CONCLUSIONS TPTX+AT is recommended as the most efficient and safe surgical SHPT treatment with minimal adverse effects. Large-scale randomized controlled trials are recommended to confirm the NMA results.

Abstract
Despite the availability of global and regional guidelines to curtail the adverse clinical outcomes associated with chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), most CKD patients are still affected by the consequences of abnormalities of CKD-MBD. This important clinical complication of CKD continues to be studied, in order to improve the understanding and management of CKD-MBD. Some notable discoveries include the role of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in the pathogenesis of CKD-MBD, leading to a shift from the previous well-established classic trade-off hypothesis to the updated trade-off hypothesis. More recently, there has been a shift from the treatment of CKD-MBD based on a single level of biomarkers to serial measurements of calcium, phosphate and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Furthermore, some clinical trials have emerged after the 2009 Kidney Disease-Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Guidelines, leading to the 2017 KDIGO updated recommendations. Hence, this review gives an overview of the rapidly evolving trends in CKD-MBD, linking the past and current concepts of CKD-MBD.

Abstract
Parathyromatosis, which is defined as multiple foci of benign hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue in neck or mediastinum, is a rare but severe cause of persistent/recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism (rHPT) after parathyroidectomy (PTX). It is hard to detect and remove all the foci. We present a case of parathyromatosis in a haemodialysed patient, who had three PTXs for persistent/recurrent rHPT and was free of recurrence during 31-month follow-up after the third PTX. 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT scan prior to the third PTX located all the lesions. The presented case suggests that preoperative 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT is useful for successful surgical removal of parathyromatosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal surgical approach of parathyroidectomy for patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) has been controversial. The updated meta-analysis aimed to compare the effectiveness of subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX) versus total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPTX + AT). METHODS A thorough systematic search was performed on the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library to identify eligible studies. Data were extracted and pooled into a meta-analysis. The primary outcomes were the symptomatic improvement, radiological changes, hypocalcemia rate, the requirement for vitamin D analogues, time to recurrence, recurrence, persistence, and reoperation rates of SPTX versus TPTX + AT. RESULTS A total of 18 studies with 3656 patients (1864 patients in SPTX and 1792 patients in TPTX + AT group) were included, and 15 studies were included in quantitative synthesis. No significant difference was observed in symptomatic improvement (93.3%, 89.0%; P = 0.99), radiological changes (85.4%, 85.3%; P = 0.91), hypocalcemia rate (16.6%, 18.1%; P = 0.29), persistence rate (6.1%, 2.0%; P = 0.16), time to recurrence (mean difference 1.46; P = 0.87), recurrence rate (9.2%, 7.1%; P = 0.76), and reoperation rate (5.3%, 5.8%; P = 0.66) between SPTX and TPTX + AT groups. Longer operative time (150 vs. 120 min), prolonged in-hospital stay (5.0 vs. 4.1 days), lower 1-month serum calcium level, and higher requirement for vitamin D analogues at 12 months were significantly observed in patients who underwent TPTX + AT compared to SPTX. CONCLUSIONS The two surgical approaches were both effective at controlling SHPT in clinical and laboratory terms. However, most of the data shown were not statistically significant. It was acceptable that surgeons chose either SPTX or TPTX + AT for SHPT.

Abstract
Parathyroidectomy (PTX) remains an important intervention for dialysis patients with poorly controlled secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), though there are only retrospective and observational data that show a mortality benefit to this procedure. Potential consequences that we seek to avoid after PTX include persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism, and parathyroid insufficiency. There is considerable subjectivity in defining and diagnosing these conditions, given that we poorly understand the optimal PTH targets (particularly post PTX) needed to maintain bone and vascular health. While lowering PTH after PTX decreases bone turnover, long-term changes in bone activity have been poorly explored. High turnover bone disease, usually present at the time a PTX is considered, often swings to a state of low turnover in the setting of sufficiently low PTH levels. It remains unclear if all low bone turnover equate with disease. However, such changes in bone turnover appear to predispose to vascular calcification, with positive calcium balance after PTX being a potential contributor. We know little of how the post-PTX state resets calcium balance, how calcium and VDRA requirements change or what kind of adjustments are needed to avoid calcium loading. The current consensus cautions against excessive reduction of PTH although there is insufficient evidence-based guidance regarding the management of chronic kidney disease - mineral bone disease (CKD-MBD) parameters in the post-PTX state. This article aims to compile existing research, provide an overview of current practice with regard to PTX and post-PTX chronic management. It highlights gaps and controversies and aims to re-orient the focus to clinically relevant contemporary priorities in CKD-MBD management after PTX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with renal hyperparathyroidism (RHPT) are susceptible to major electrolyte fluctuations following parathyroidectomy, which may predispose them to early readmission. The purpose of this study is to evaluate risk factors for readmission in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for RHPT. METHODS Patients with renal failure who underwent parathyroidectomy were abstracted from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (1999-2012). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for readmission within 30 days of discharge. RESULTS The cohort included 4411 patients, of whom 17% were readmitted. Procedures included subtotal parathyroidectomy (74% of cases) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (26%). Median time to readmission was 9 days (interquartile range 4-16 days). Electrolyte disturbances including hypocalcemia were present in 36% of readmissions and were the most common cause for readmission. Independent risk factors for readmission included Black race [odds ratio (OR) 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.00-1.57], Hispanic race (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.12-1.71), disposition with home health (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.35-2.77), disposition to a skilled nursing facility (OR 2.30, 95% CI 1.58-3.35), and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.06-1.52). Advancing age (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.98-0.99) and surgery at a high-volume hospital (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.36-0.77) were protective against readmission. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for RHPT have a high readmission rate, most frequently for metabolic complications. Increased postoperative vigilance, which may include outpatient laboratory monitoring, may be indicated in patients with risk factors for readmission.

Abstract
Parathyroidectomy is useful for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) caused by chronic renal failure. The following three types of parathyroidectomy can be performed: subtotal parathyroidectomy, total parathyroidectomy and total parathyroidectomy plus autologous transplantation (tPTX+AT). Each of the three types of surgery has advantages and disadvantages. The present study retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of tPTX+AT for the treatment of SHPT over 1 year. Thirty-seven patients who were diagnosed with secondary nephrogenic hyperparathyroidism and treated with tPTX+AT were selected between September 2014 and October 2016 and followed up for 1 year. Their average age was 66.5±46.0 years, and the average time of dialysis was 48.1±8.2 months. The patients' conditions, including the levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and bone metabolism, were compared preoperatively and 1 and 7 days and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. In addition, the postoperative complications, pathological data, SHPT recurrence and prognosis were examined. The results showed that the postoperative level of ostalgia and cutaneous pruritus significantly decreased in the patients. An inspection of the parathyroid tissues during the operation confirmed the presence of parathyroid gland hyperplasia with no carcinoma detected. Three patients with hoarseness recovered within 1 month, and 1 patient with unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury improved after 6 months of voice training. Compared to the preoperative condition, the postoperative serum iPTH, serum calcium and serum phosphate levels were significantly decreased (P<0.001), and these differences remained significant 12 months after surgery. Compared to the preoperative condition, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentration was decreased on postoperative day 1 (P<0.05), but no differences were observed on day 7 or at 1 month (P>0.05). The ALP levels continuously decreased at 3, 6 and 12 months (P<0.01). In conclusion, tPTX+AT significantly improves the quality of life and serum biomarker levels of these patients. The convenient surgical removal of the hyperplastic parathyroid gland for postoperative recurrence supports tPTX+AT as the recommended treatment for relevant patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two operations are performed for management of secondary hyperparathyroidism, subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPTX-AT). There is no consensus among endocrine surgeons about which operation is the preferred treatment. This study compares the short- and long-term outcomes of SPTX and TPTX-AT for dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective review of 46 dialysis patients undergoing PTX from 2006 to 2017 at a 719-bed tertiary care hospital. RESULTS Calcium on postoperative day 1 was 7.7 ± 0.8 mg/dL for SPTX and 7.9 ± 1.3 mg/dL for TPTX-AT (p = 0.49). Parathyroid hormone values on postoperative day 1 were 32.6 ± 26.0 pg/mL for SPTX and 9.5 ± 4.2 pg/mL for TPTX-AT (p ≤ 0.05). Hospital length of stay was 3.7 ± 1.9 days for SPTX and 4.4 ± 3.5 days for TPTX-AT (p = 0.46). The required doses of calcium and calcitriol at discharge did not differ significantly. Reoperation for recurrence or persistence of disease was required in 6 SPTX patients and 2 TPTX-AT patients (p = 0.12). Parathyroid hormone values <15 pg/mL at long-term follow-up occurred in 5.6% of SPTX patients and 26.7% of TPTX-AT patients (p = 0.09). Parathyroid hormone values >200 pg/mL at long-term follow-up occurred in 38.9% of SPTX patients vs 6.7% of the TPTX-AT patients (p ≤ 0.05). Calcium supplementation at more than 6 months was required for 36.8% of SPTX and 71.4% of TPTX-AT patients (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The long-term control of parathyroid hormone elevation and avoidance of recurrent disease is improved with TPTX-AT, but carries a higher risk of long-term hypocalcemia.

Abstract
Purpose The anatomy of parathyroid glands (PTG) is highly variable in the population. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic analysis on the prevalence and location of PTG in healthy and hyperparathyroidism (HPT) patients. Methods An extensive search of the major electronic databases was conducted to identify all studies that reported relevant data on the number of PTG per patient and location of PTG. The data was extracted from the eligible studies and pooled into a meta-analysis. Results The overall analysis of 26 studies (n = 7005 patients; n = 23,519 PTG) on the number of PTG showed that 81.4% (95% CI 65.4–85.8) of patients have four PTG. A total of 15.9% of PTG are present in ectopic locations, with 11.6% (95% CI 5.1–19.1) in the neck and 4.3% (95% CI 0.7–9.9) in mediastinum. The subgroup analysis of ectopic PTG showed that 51.7% of ectopic PTG in the neck are localized in retroesophageal/paraesophageal space or in the thyroid gland. No significant differences were observed between the healthy and HPT patients and cadaveric and intraoperative studies. Conclusions Knowledge regarding the prevalence, location, and anatomy of PTG is essential for surgeons planning for and carrying out parathyroidectomies, as any unidentified PTG, either supernumerary or in ectopic location, can result in unsuccessful treatment and need for reoperation.

Abstract
Purpose Total parathyroidectomy (tPTX) in patients with renal hyperparathyroidism (RHPT) aims at the complete removal of all hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue. Whenever parathyroidectomy is termed “total,” undetectable postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels within the first postoperative week are expected. The aim of this study was to evaluate if tPTX is technically possible using a radical surgical procedure. Methods In 109 consecutive patients with RHPT (on hemodialysis: n = 50; after kidney grafting n = 59), removal of all visible parathyroid tissue, bilateral thymectomy, bilateral central neck dissection (level VI), and immediate autotransplantation (AT) was performed. Intact PTH (iPTH) levels were measured in the first postoperative week. PTX was classified “total” when iPTH dropped below 10 pg/ml, “subtotal” between 10 and 65 pg/ml, and “insufficient” where levels stayed above 65 pg/ml. Results According to the postoperative PTH value, tPTX was achieved in 80 of 109 (73.4%) patients (hemodialysis n = 27, normal kidney function: n = 43, restricted: n = 10). PTX was “subtotal” in 25 patients (22.9%), 19 on hemodialysis, 2 had normal, and 4 had restricted kidney graft function. PTX turned out to be insufficient in four patients (3.7%); all of them were on hemodialysis. Insufficient PTX was not observed in kidney-grafted patients. Postoperative temporary laryngeal nerve morbidity was 1.8% (no permanent paresis). Conclusions Although applying a very radical concept in patients with RHPT, PTX was “total” in only 73.4%. Persistence of disease was avoided in 91.7%, and low morbidity was documented. In conclusion, it seems difficult to remove all parathyroid tissue from the neck which has to be considered when choosing the surgical procedure.

Abstract
Background Neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of calcium homeostasis, characterized by striking hyperparathyroidism, marked hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroid bone disease. We report the case of a newborn with a novel homozygous mutation of the CaSR, treated by successful subtotal parathyroidectomy, who had an acute presentation of the disease, i.e. out-of hospital cardiorespiratory arrest. . Case presentation A 8-day-old female newborn was admitted to the NICU of University of Bari “Aldo Moro” (Italy) after a cardiorespiratory arrest occurred at home. Severe hypercalcemia was found and different drug therapies were employed (Furosemide, Cinacalcet and bisphosphonate), as well as hyperhydration, until subtotal parathyroidectomy, was performed at day 32. Our patient’s mutation was never described before so that a strict and individualized long-term follow-up was started. Conclusions This case of NSHPT suggests that a near-miss event, labelled as a possible case of SIDS, could also be due to severe hypercalcemia and evidentiates the difficulties of the neonatal management of NSHPT. Furthermore, the identification of the specific CaSR mutation provides the substrate for prenatal diagnosis.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism develops in CKD due to a combination of vitamin D deficiency, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia, and it exists in nearly all patients at the time of dialysis initiation. There is insufficient data on whether to prefer vitamin D analogs compared with calcimimetics, but the available evidence suggests advantages with combination therapy. Calcium derangements, patient adherence, side effects, and cost limit the use of these agents. When parathyroid hormone level persists >800 pg/ml for >6 months, despite exhaustive medical interventions, monoclonal proliferation with nodular hyperplasia is likely present along with decreased expression of vitamin D and calcium-sensing receptors. Hence, surgical parathyroidectomy should be considered, especially if concomitant disorders exist, such as persistent hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia, tissue or vascular calcification including calciphylaxis, and/or worsening osteodystrophy. Parathyroidectomy is associated with 15%-57% greater survival in patients on dialysis, and it also improves hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, tissue calcification, bone mineral density, and health-related quality of life. The parathyroidectomy rate in the United States declined to approximately seven per 1000 dialysis patient-years between 2002 and 2011 despite an increase in average parathyroid hormone levels, reflecting calcimimetics introduction and uncertainty regarding optimal parathyroid hormone targets. Hospitalization rates are 39% higher in the first postoperative year. Hungry bone syndrome occurs in approximately 25% of patients on dialysis, and profound hypocalcemia requires high doses of oral and intravenous calcium along with calcitriol supplementation. Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation carries a higher risk of permanent hypocalcemia, whereas risk of hyperparathyroidism recurrence is higher with subtotal parathyroidectomy. Given favorable long-term outcomes from observational parathyroidectomy cohorts, despite surgical risk and postoperative challenges, it is reasonable to consider parathyroidectomy in more patients with medically refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term results of surgical parathyroidectomy (PTX) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are less well known in the modern era of newer activated vitamin-D analogs, calcimimetics and intraoperative monitoring of parathyroid hormone (PTH). METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of all ESRD patients undergoing PTX at the University of Mississippi Medical Center between January 2005 and August 2011, with follow-up data as available up to 4 years. All PTXs were performed with intraoperative second-generation PTH monitoring and targeted gland size reduction. RESULTS The cohort (N = 37) was relatively young with a mean (±SD) age of 48.4 ± 13.9. 94.6% of the subjects were African American and 59.5% female. Preoperatively, 45.9% received cinacalcet (CNC) at a mean dose of 63.5 ± 20.9 mg. The size of the largest removed glands measured 1.7 ± 0.8 cm and almost all (94.6%) glands had hyperplasia on histology. The mean length of inpatient stay was 5.5 ± 2.4 days. Preoperative calcium/phosphorus measured 9.6 ± 1.2/6.6 ± 1.7 mg/dL with PTH concentrations of 1589 ± 827 pg/mL. Postoperative PTH values measured 145.4 ± 119.2 pg/mL. Preoperative PTH strongly correlated (P < 0.0001) with both alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels (r: 0.596) and the number of inpatient days (r: 0.545), but not with CNC administration. Independent predictors for the duration of hospitalization were preoperative ALP (beta 0.469; P = 0.001) and age (beta -0.401; P = 0.005) (R2 0.45); for postoperative hypocalcemia, age (beta: -0.321; P = 0.006) and preoperative PTH (beta: 0.431; P = 0.036) were significant in linear regression models with stepwise selection. CONCLUSION Gland-sparing PTX achieved acceptable control of ESRD-associated hyperparathyroidism in most patients from a socioeconomically challenged, underserved population of the United States.
