Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role for routine thymectomy in patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT, THPT) is unclear. We aim to compare rates of recurrence and complications in patients who underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy with and without thymectomy. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for renal HPT at a tertiary endocrine surgery center between 2010 and 2022 were reviewed. Presence of parathyroid tissue in resected tissue was identified through pathology reports. A multivariate logistic regression was used to compare baseline characteristics, recurrence rates and complications between those who did and did not undergo thymectomy. RESULTS Of 107 patients who underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy, 29 (27.1 %) underwent concomitant thymectomy. Recurrence occurred in 15 patients (14 %). Thymectomy did not affect recurrence (OR: 0.33, 95%CI: 0.06-1.28, p = 0.14), but was associated with permanent hypoparathyroidism (OR: 4.62, 95%CI: 1.67-13.18, p = 0.003). Fewer parathyroid specimens increased the odds of thymectomy (p = 0.04). Parathyroid glands were found in 6 thymectomy samples (20.7 %). CONCLUSION Thymectomy at the time of subtotal parathyroidectomy for renal HPT was not associated with disease recurrence, but increased likelihood of permanent hypoparathyroidism.

Is thymectomy necessary during parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with end-stage kidney disease? Surgery 2024:S0039-6060(24)00711-6. [PMID: 39389821 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2024.06.067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend thymectomy at the time of parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism to reduce the likelihood of persistent or recurrent disease. We sought to determine the frequency of thymectomy and explore its impact on recurrence of secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS Using TriNetX, a multi-institutional electronic health record and insurance claims network, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of adults with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy with or without thymectomy from 2005 to 2023. Rates of thymectomy, repeat parathyroidectomy, and calcimimetic use were compared between cohorts. Recurrence was defined by parathyroid hormone ≥600 pg/mL, reoperation, or calcimimetic use. Current Procedural Terminology and SNOMED codes for parathyroidectomy did not distinguish between subtotal compared with total parathyroidectomy. RESULTS Among 2,564 patients underwent surgery for secondary hyperparathyroidism, 2,272 (88.8%) underwent parathyroidectomy and 287 (11.2%) underwent parathyroidectomy + thymectomy. Rates of parathyroidectomy + thymectomydecreased over time, from 25.5% in 2005 to 10.1% in 2023. Preoperatively, there was no difference in mean preoperative parathyroid hormone levels, serum calcium or calcidiol, or cinacalcet use. Postoperatively, there was no difference in the mean parathyroid hormone level (183 pg/mL vs 180 pg/mL, P = .88), odds of calcimimetic use (odds ratio, 0.94, 95% confidence interval, 0.64-1.39), reoperation within 5 years postoperatively (odds ratio 0.72, 95% confidence interval 0.39-1.36), or rates of kidney transplantation (odds ratio 1.03, 95% confidence interval 0.67-1.60) between parathyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy + thymectomy groups. CONCLUSION Thymectomy is infrequently performed during parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism, and rates continue to decline. Although thymectomy at time of parathyroidectomy did not appear to decrease recurrence, future studies should include extent of parathyroidectomy to determine impact of thymectomy on recurrence in secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) often arises from kidney disease and is characterized by elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. The reported optimal PTH level to balance the compensatory physiologic response in SHPT with the pathologic morbidity and mortality has changed over time with our evolving understanding. Parathyroidectomy for kidney-related hyperparathyroidism requires consideration of the patient's dialysis status, potential for kidney transplantation, and medical history. Extent of parathyroidectomy and intraoperative decision-making requires consideration to maximize cure with the risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism. Parathyroidectomy for kidney-related hyperparathyroidism can provide a reduction in morbidity, mortality, and improved kidney allograft function and survival.

Abstract
Background Although favorable outcomes have been reported with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), the long-term efficacy remains insufficiently investigated. Purpose To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of US-guided percutaneous RFA in patients with SHPT undergoing dialysis and to identify possible predictors associated with treatment failure. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included consecutive patients with SHPT with at least one enlarged parathyroid gland accessible for RFA who were undergoing dialysis at seven tertiary centers from May 2013 to July 2022. The primary end point was the proportion of patients with parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels less than or equal to 585 pg/mL at the end of follow-up. Secondary end points were the proportion of patients with normal calcium and phosphorus levels, the technical success rate, procedure-related complications, and improvement in self-rated hyperparathyroidism-related symptoms (0-3 ranking scale). The Wilcoxon signed rank test and generalized estimating equation model were used to evaluate treatment outcomes. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses identified variables associated with treatment failure (recurrent or persistent hyperparathyroidism). Results This study included 165 patients (median age, 51 years [IQR, 44-60 years]; 92 female) and 582 glands. RFA effectively reduced PTH, calcium, and phosphorus levels, with targeted ranges achieved in 78.2% (129 of 165), 72.7% (120 of 165), and 60.0% (99 of 165) of patients, respectively, at the end of follow-up (mean, 51 months). For the RFA sessions, the technical success rate was 100% (214 of 214). Median symptom scores (ostealgia, arthralgia, pruritus) decreased (all P < .001). Regarding complications, only hypocalcemia (45.8%, 98 of 214) was common. Treatment failure occurred in 36 patients (recurrent [n = 5] or persistent [n = 31] hyperparathyroidism). The only potential independent predictor of treatment failure was having less than four treated glands (odds ratio, 17.18; 95% CI: 4.34, 67.95; P < .001). Conclusion US-guided percutaneous RFA was effective and safe in the long term as a nonsurgical alternative for patients with SHPT undergoing dialysis; the only potential independent predictor of treatment failure was a lower number (<4) of treated glands. © RSNA, 2024 Supplemental material is available for this article.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:603-610. [PMID: 37897423 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
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 The most common operations performed for secondary hyperparathyroidism include subtotal parathyroidectomy (STPX) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPX + AT). We present a series of ESRD patients treated with total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation (TPX). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort analysis of ESRD patients, age 18 years or older, with three or more glands resected on final pathology and follow-up parathyroid hormone levels obtained up to 1.5 years postoperatively. The primary endpoint was recurrence of hyperparathyroidism (defined as PTH > 500 pg/mL). RESULTS The incidence of recurrent hyperparathyroidism at 1.5 years was 5.9% (2/34). The incidence of persistent hyperparathyroidism at 1.5 years was 11.8% (4/34). In this series, no patients were hospitalized for symptomatic hypocalcemia or experienced pathologic bone fractures. CONCLUSIONS Recurrence rates are low with TPX. The most common cause of recurrent and persistent disease is resection of three rather than four glands. The known complications of TPX, pathologic fractures, and severe hypocalcemia, were not seen in this study.

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 Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common condition in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on dialysis. Parathyroidectomy is a treatment for patients when medical therapy has failed. Recurrence may occur and is indicated for further surgery in the era of improved quality of care for ESRD patients. METHODS We identified, 1060 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy from January, 2011 to June, 2020. After excluding patients without regular check-up at our institute, primary hyperparathyroidism, or malignancy, 504 patients were enrolled. Sixty-two patients (12.3%, 62/504) were then excluded due to persistent SHPT even after the first parathyroidectomy. We aimed to identify risk factors for recurrent SHPT after the first surgery. RESULTS During the study period, 20% of patients who underwent parathyroidectomy at our institute (in, 2019) was due to recurrence after a previous parathyroidectomy. There were 442 patients eligible for analysis of recurrence after excluding patients with the persistent disease (n = 62). While 44 patients (9.95%) had recurrence, 398 patients did not. Significant risk factors for recurrent SHPT within 5 years after the first parathyroidectomy, including dialysis start time to first operation time < 3 years (p = 0.046), postoperative PTH >106.5 pg/mL (p < 0.001), and postoperative phosphorus> 5.9 mg/dL (p = 0.016), were identified by multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS The starting time of dialysis to first operation time < 3 years in the patients with dialysis, postoperative PTH> 106.5 pg/mL, and postoperative phosphorus> 5.9 mg/dL tended to have a higher risk for recurrent SHPT within 5 years after primary treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram to predict severe hypocalcemia (SH) before total parathyroidectomy (TPTX) without auto-transplantation in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS A total of 299 consecutive patients who underwent TPTX without transplantation for secondary hyperparathyroidism were selected from the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between January 2013 and December 2021. Of these, patients who underwent surgery between January 2013 and December 2020 formed the training cohort (n = 208) to develop a nomogram, and those who underwent surgery thereafter formed the validation cohort (n = 91) to validate the performance of this nomogram. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors associated with SH, and then, a nomogram was constructed. RESULTS The incidence of postoperative SH was 27.9% and 35.2% in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The preoperative factors associated with SH were younger age, lower serum calcium (Ca) level, higher intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level, and higher serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level. Incorporating these 4 factors, the nomogram achieved good concordance indexes of 0.866 (95%CI, 0.816-0.916) and 0.867 (95% CI, 0.793-0.941) in predicting SH in the training and validation cohorts, respectively, and had well-fitted calibration curves. The positive predictive values of the nomogram were 64.7% (54.1%-78.4%) and 75.0% (58.6%-88.5%), and negative predictive values of the nomogram were 90.0% (82.9%-93.6%) and 86.4% (73.5%-94.0%) for the training and validation cohorts, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated a nomogram for the prediction of SH in patients who underwent TPTX without auto-transplantation for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Our nomogram may facilitate the identification of high-risk SH in patients after TPTX and optimization of preoperative decision-making.

Abstract
Background Surgical parathyroidectomy (PTX) is necessary for patients with severe and progressive secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) refractory to medical treatment. Recurrence of SHPT after PTX is a serious clinical problem. Both supernumerary mediastinal parathyroid gland and parathyromatosis are the rare causes of recurrent renal SHPT. We report a rare case of recurrent renal SHPT due to supernumerary mediastinal parathyroid gland and parathyromatosis. Case presentation A 53-year-old man underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation due to the drug-refractory SHPT 17 years ago. In the last 11 months, the patient experienced symptoms including bone pain and skin itch, and the serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level elevated to 1,587 pg/ml. Ultrasound detected two hypoechoic lesions located at the dorsal area of right lobe of the thyroid gland, and both lesions presented as characteristics of hyperparathyroidism in contrast-enhanced ultrasound. 99mTc-MIBI/SPECT detected a nodule in the mediastinum. A reoperation involved a cervicotomy for excising parathyromatosis lesions and the surrounding tissue and a thoracoscopic surgery for resecting a mediastinal parathyroid gland. According to a histological examination, two lesions behind the right thyroid lobe and one lesion in the central region had been defined as parathyromatosis. A nodule in the mediastinum was consistent with hyperplastic parathyroid. The patient remained well for 10 months with alleviated symptoms and stabilized iPTH levels in the range of 123-201 pg/ml. Conclusion Although rare, recurrent SHPT may be caused by a coexistence of both supernumerary parathyroid glands and parathyromatosis, which should receive more attention. The combination of imaging modalities is important for reoperative locations of parathyroid lesions. To successfully treat parathyromatosis, all the lesions and the surrounding tissue must be excised. Thoracoscopic surgery is a reliable and safe approach for the resection of ectopic mediastinal parathyroid glands.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the safety and efficacy of percutaneous paricalcitol injection with intravenously administered paricalcitol in treating parathyroid hyperplasia in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). METHODS This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of our institution. We retrospectively collected data on patients who received percutaneous paricalcitol injection (24 patients) and intravenously administered paricalcitol (22 patients) based on their intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level. Serum iPTH, calcium, phosphorus, and the volume of the parathyroid gland were measured at several indicated time points after treatment, and adverse events associated with the two treatments were evaluated. RESULTS After 6 months of follow-up, we found that patients from the percutaneous injection group had significantly decreased levels of iPTH (from 1887.81 ± 726.81 pg/mL to 631.06 ± 393.06 pg/mL), phosphate (from 1.94 ± 0.36 mmol/L to 1.71 ± 0.34 mmol/L), and volume of the parathyroid gland (from 0.87 ± 0.50 cm3 to 0.60 ± 0.36 cm3), with relief from ostealgia within 48-72 h. In the intravenously administered group, the levels of iPTH decreased from 686.87 ± 260.44 pg/mL to 388.47 ± 167.36 pg/mL; while there was no significant change in phosphate levels, the volume of the parathyroid gland and ostealgia relief were observed at the end of follow-up. The serum calcium level did not significantly change, and no severe complications were observed in both groups. In vitro fluorescence-activated single cell sorting (FACS) analysis indicated that paricalcitol induced parathyroid cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous paricalcitol injection is a selective treatment for SHPT in ESRD.

Int Urol Nephrol 2022; 55:1239-1245. [PMID: 36331700 PMCID: PMC10105684 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-022-03401-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
To investigate the therapeutic efficacy, feasibility, and safety of total parathyroidectomy (tPTX) in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).
Methods
The clinical data of 34 SHPT patients admitted to the Department of Nephrology, Yuxi People’s Hospital, from January 2018 to January 2021 who had received tPTX, were retrospectively analyzed. The indications for tPTX were severe SHPT that did not respond to medical treatment and was ineligible for kidney transplantation. tPTX without autotransplantation was adopted to compare the level of symptom relief and changes in serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), blood calcium, and blood phosphorus pre- and postoperatively.
Results
In 34 patients, 142 parathyroid glands were removed, including 21 ectopic parathyroid glands (14.78%). Six patients (17.64%, 6/34) had supernumerary parathyroid glands. At 6 h postoperatively, arthralgia and bone pain were significantly reduced to almost zero in 94.12% (32/34) of patients. At 24 h postoperatively, relief of bone pain and improvement of limb movement were observed in 100% (34/34) of patients, and pruritus almost disappeared in 86.36% (19/22) of patients. There were significant differences in iPTH (χ2 = 134.93, P < 0.05), calcium (χ2 = 23.02, P < 0.05), and phosphorus (χ2 = 102.11, P < 0.05) levels preoperatively and 40 min, 24 h, 1 week, half a year, and last available (> 1 year) postoperatively.
The patients were followed up for 15–47 months (median 33 months). Hypoparathyroidism was observed in three patients, who underwent neck dissection or partial thymotomy concurrently for different reasons. No intractable hypocalcemia or adynamic bone disease occurred during the follow-up period.
Conclusion
In SHPT patients who were ineligible for renal transplantation, tPTX was effective, safe, and reliable, with a low recurrence rate. However, when tPTX was performed alone without autologous transplantation, bilateral neck exploration was sufficient, and central neck dissection and thymic resection were inadvisable.

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.

Minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP) versus conventional parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism: a retrospective multicenter study. Updates Surg 2022; 74:1419-1428. [PMID: 35612728 PMCID: PMC9338138 DOI: 10.1007/s13304-022-01291-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
To compare minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP) versus conventional surgery for renal hyperparathyroidism (rHPT). Between 2006 and 2020, 53 patients underwent MIVAP and 182 underwent conventional parathyroidectomy for rHPT at the Kliniken Essen-Mitte and Knappschaftskrankenhaus Bochum, respectively. Two propensity score-matched groups were retrospectively analyzed: the MIVAP group (VG; n = 53) and the conventional group (CG; n = 53). To assess long-term results, the patients were questioned prospectively (VG; n = 17, and CG; n = 26). The VG had a smaller incision (2.8 vs. 4.8 cm), shorter operation duration (81.0 vs. 13.9 min), and shorter duration of stay (2.4 vs. 5.7 days) (p < 0.0001) but a smaller drop in parathyroid hormone (PTH) postoperatively (81.3 vs. 85.5%. p = 0.022) than the CG. The conversion rate was 9.4% (n = 5). The VG had better Patient Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS) scores (10.8 vs. 11.7 p = 0.001) but worse SF-12 health survey scores (38.7 vs. 45.8 for physical health and 46.7 vs. 53.4 for mental health) (p < 0.0001). The PTH level at follow-up was higher in the VG (162.7 vs. 59.1 ng/l, p < 0.0001). There were no differences in morbidity, number of removed parathyroid glands, disease persistence, late rHPT relapse and need for repeat surgery between groups. MIVAP was superior to conventional parathyroidectomy regarding aesthetic outcomes and cost effectiveness. Conventional surgery showed better control of PTH levels and health scores on follow-up than MIVAP, without any impact on rHPT relapse and need for repeat surgery. Trail registration number and date of registration: DRKS00022545 on 14.12.2020.

Abstract
Background Several studies have reported on the use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) measurements during parathyroidectomy (PTX) for renal hyperparathyroidism (rHPT), but there is no consensus on whether it is helpful and, if so, what protocol should be used. Therefore, the literature was systematically reviewed to assess a correlation between ioPTH and early postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in patients undergoing PTX for rHPT, separately for those on dialysis and those with a functioning renal transplant. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in electronic databases. Quality assessment was performed using the Quality In Prognosis Studies tool. Mean ioPTH values were calculated at different time points and correlated to the postoperative PTH levels within 1 month. Fixed-effect and random-effects models were performed to assess the mean ioPTH levels at 10 or 20 min after resection (T10 and T20). Stratified analyses were performed for patients on dialysis and those with a functioning renal transplant. Results Of the 3087 records screened, 14 studies were included, including some 1177 patients; 1091 were on dialysis and 86 had a functioning kidney transplant. Risk of bias was moderate for most studies. For patients on dialysis, T10 and T20 mean ioPTH levels were 32.1 (95 per cent c.i. 24.3 to 39.9) pmol/l and 15.4 (95 per cent c.i. 7.8 to 22.9) pmol/l) in the random effects meta-analysis. Between individual studies, ioPTH ranged from 4.0–65.1 pmol/l at T10 and 8.6–25.7 pmol/l at T20. T10 and T20 ioPTH were 9.6 and 4.1 times the postoperative PTH—after T20 ioPTH stabilized in those on dialysis. In patients with a functioning renal transplant, ioPTH levels seemed to plateau after 10 min and measured 2.6 times the postoperative PTH. Conclusion There is a strong correlation between ioPTH and early postoperative PTH levels, indicating that ioPTH is potentially a useful instrument during PTX in patients with rHPT. For patients on dialysis, at T20 ioPTH levels have stabilized and are approximately four times the postoperative PTH. Therefore, it is recommended to use ioPTH 20 min after resection in patients on dialysis, which might be longer than necessary for those with a kidney transplant.

Long-Term Effect of Microwave Ablation on Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis for Moderate Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: A Retrospective Cohort Study. JOURNAL OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE 2021; 40:2497-2505. [PMID: 33484485 PMCID: PMC8596757 DOI: 10.1002/jum.15638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2020] [Revised: 01/02/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES A previous 12-month study confirmed that microwave ablation (MWA) was effective for moderate secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). A further analysis was performed in this study to evaluate the efficacy of MWA for moderate SHPT over an observational follow-up period of up to 60 months. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of patients involved in a previous randomized controlled trial. Patients were divided into an MWA group (those who underwent MWA followed by drug therapy according to the patient's clinical situation) and a control group (those who received drug therapy only). The primary outcome was the composite endpoint. During the efficacy assessment phase, the two groups were compared in terms of the proportion of patients with intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels <300 pg/ml and the differences in iPTH levels. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients were included in this study: 13 in the MWA group and 14 in the control group. The median (interquartile range) follow-up periods of the MWA and control groups were 58 (54-60) and 58 (49-60) months, respectively. The proportion of patients with iPTH levels <300 pg/ml in the MWA group was slightly higher than that in the control group (6/13 [46.2%] versus 2/14 [14.3%], respectively; p = .08). Furthermore, iPTH levels in the MWA group were lower than in the control group during the efficacy assessment phase (411 ± 299 pg/ml versus 516 ± 369 pg/ml, respectively; p <.01). CONCLUSIONS MWA helped to contain the necessary iPTH levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis for moderate SHPT in a 60-month timeframe.

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
Background Previous studies have demonstrated that 99mTc-sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI) Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/ Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging is an effective isotopic technique for locating the parathyroid in secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). This study aimed to explore further the correlation between 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT imaging and SHPT to demonstrate the value of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT in evaluating the degree of pathological hyperplasia of the parathyroid gland (PG). Methods The demographics, surgical records, and follow-up information of 91 patients were recorded and analyzed. A total of 216 paraffin-embedded PGs of 54 patients were obtained and analyzed. Results Patients with 99mTc-MIBI negative PG(s) had significantly lower preoperative serum phosphorus and higher serum calcium levels at 6 months postoperatively compared to those with 99mTc-MIBI positive PG(s) (P<0.05). We also found a higher total uptake ratio of the region of interest (URRI) and higher URRI max in the hypocalcemia group than in the non-hypocalcemia group. Both URRI total (P=0.003) and URRI max (P=0.028) were independent risk factors for hypocalcemia 6 months postoperatively. The URRI values of the PGs were significantly positively correlated with glandular weight (R2=0.343, P<0.001), glandular volume (R2=0.240, P<0.001), and degree of pathological hyperplasia (P<0.001). However, the URRI value of the PGs exhibited a notably weak correlation with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) (R2=0.035, P=0.006). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve showed a URRI evaluative value of 0.771 for diffuse and nodular types in 216 PGs (P<0.001). We further evaluated 167 nodular-type PGs, distinguishing between nodular hyperplasia and a single nodule; the URRI evaluative value reached 0.819, which was higher than the volume or weight (P<0.001). Conclusions The 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT scintigraphy results were related to serum calcium levels at 6 months after total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPTX+AT), suggesting the occurrence of hypocalcemia (6 months after TPTX+AT). More importantly, this technique effectively evaluated the pathological hyperplasia of PGs preoperatively, and therefore, could assist surgeons in selecting the PGs with the lowest degree of hyperplasia intraoperatively.

Abstract
Background Our objective is to evaluate the application values and effects of nanocarbon negative imaging technology in surgery for patients with the fifth stage of chronic kidney disease complicated with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Methods Eighty-nine patients with SHPT in the fifth stage of chronic kidney disease admitted to the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University between January 2018 and August 2020 were selected. All patients underwent total parathyroidectomy (tPTX) and were randomly divided into a group receiving nanocarbon (observation group; group A) and a control group (group B). Patients were followed up for 6 months after surgery and several observation indexes were compared and analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, the parathyroid glands in the observation group treated with nanocarbon were more clearly exposed, and better performances were seen in the operation time, blood loss, and recovery rate of bone pain (P<0.05). The postoperative follow-up blood intact parathyroid hormone level (iPTH) and recurrence rate control were also improved in the observation group and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions In the fifth stage of chronic kidney disease with SHPT, the application of nanocarbon negative imaging technology can significantly reduce the recurrence rate of hyperparathyroidism, improve the surgical effect, and improve the long-term quality of life and survival rate of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors affecting the survival of parathyroid autograft following total parathyroidectomy combined with autologous sternocleidomastoid muscle transplantation (TPTX + AT) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) complicated with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). OBJECTIVE This retrospective study was conducted among the patients on maintenance hemodialysis with SHPT, who underwent successful parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation from January, 2010 to February, 2020 in our hospital. The clinical data and serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone, hemoglobin, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of the patients were collected. The enrolled patients were divided into survival group with bilateral forearm parathyroid hormone (iPTH) ratio > 1.5 and death group with a ratio < 1.5 at 2 weeks after surgery for comparison of the clinical data and perioperative indicators. The risk factors of postoperative parathyroid autograft survival were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. OBJECTIVE A total of 87 patients were included in the study, among whom the graft survival rate after parathyroid transplantation was 78.16%. In both groups, serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, iPTH and ALP decreased and hemoglobin level increased significantly at 1 week and 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery (P < 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that serum ALP level was an independent risk factor for graft survival following parathyroid autotransplantation [OR=1.003, 95% CI: 1.001-1.005, P=0.004]. OBJECTIVE TPTX+AT is a safe and effective treatment for SHPT, and parathyroid autografts are less likely to survive following parathyroid transplantation in patients with high preoperative level of ALP.

Management of primary and renal hyperparathyroidism: guidelines from the German Association of Endocrine Surgeons (CAEK). Langenbecks Arch Surg 2021; 406:571-585. [PMID: 33880642 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-021-02173-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The purpose of this review is to provide updated recommendations for the surgical management of primary (pHPT) and renal (rHPT) hyperparathyroidism, formulating a new guideline of the German Association of Endocrine Surgeons (CAEK). METHODS Evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and therapy of pHPT and rHPT were assessed by a multidisciplinary panel using PubMed for a comprehensive literature search together with a structured consensus dialogue (S2k guideline of the Association of the German Scientific Medical Societies, AWMF). RESULTS During the last 20 years, a variety of new preoperative localization procedures, such as sestamibi-SPECT, 4D-CT, and various PET/CT procedures, were established for pHPT. High-resolution imaging, together with intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) measurement, enabled focused or minimally invasive surgery to become the most favored surgical technique. Patients with pHPT and nonlocalizing imaging have a higher risk of multiglandular disease. Surgical therapy provides very high cure rates, with a clear relation to the surgeon's experience in parathyroid procedures. Reoperative parathyroidectomy, children with pHPT or familial forms, and parathyroid carcinoma are addressed and require special surgical expertise. A multidisciplinary team of experienced nephrologists, transplant, and endocrine surgeons should assess the diagnosis and treatment of renal HPT. CONCLUSION Surgery is the only curative treatment for pHPT and should be considered for all patients with pHPT. For rHPT, a more selective approach is required, and parathyroidectomy is indicated only when conservative treatment options fail. In parathyroid carcinoma, the adequacy of local resection influences local disease control.

Intact parathyroid hormone levels localize causative glands in persistent or recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism: A retrospective cohort study. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0248366.

Abstract
Persistent or recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism may occur after total parathyroidectomy and transcervical thymectomy with forearm autograft under continuous stimulation due to uremia. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels may reflect persistent or recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism because of the enlarged autografted parathyroid glands in the forearm or remnant parathyroid glands in the neck or mediastinum. Detailed imaging requires predictive localization of causative parathyroid glands. Casanova and simplified Casanova tests may be convenient. However, these methods require avascularization of the autografted forearm for >10 min with a tourniquet or Esmarch. The heavy pressure during avascularization can be incredibly painful and result in nerve damage. An easier method that minimizes the burden on patients in addition to predicting the localization of causative parathyroid glands was developed in this study. Ninety patients who underwent successful re-parathyroidectomy for persistent or recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism after parathyroidectomy between January 2000 and July 2019 were classified according to the localization of causative parathyroid glands (63 and 27 patients in the autografted forearm and the neck or mediastinum groups, respectively). Preoperatively, intact PTH levels were measured from bilateral forearm blood samples following a 5-min avascularization of the autografted forearm. Cutoff values of the intact PTH ratio (intact PTH level obtained from the non-autografted forearm before re-parathyroidectomy/intact PTH level obtained from the autografted forearm before re-parathyroidectomy) were investigated with receiver operating characteristic curves to localize the causative parathyroid glands. Intact PTH ratios of <0.310 with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.913 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.856-0.970; P < 0.001) and >0.859 with an AUC 0.744 (95% CI: 0.587-0.901; P = 0.013) could predict causative parathyroid glands in the autografted forearm and the neck or mediastinum with diagnostic accuracies of 81.1% and 83.3%, respectively. Therefore, we propose that the intact PTH ratio is useful for predicting the localization of causative parathyroid glands for re-parathyroidectomy.

Influence of Parathyroidectomy on Kidney Graft Function in Secondary and Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism. Transplant Proc 2020; 52:3134-3143. [PMID: 32402458 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2020.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2019] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 03/12/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Timing of parathyroidectomy (PTX) remains controversial in candidates for kidney transplant with concomitant renal hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The aim of this retrospective study was to identify the influence of early vs late posttransplant PTX compared to pretransplant PTX on renal graft function and morbidity. METHODS This single-center cohort study includes 57 patients with renal HPT and kidney transplantation treated between 2007 and 2017. Ninety-six patients had surgery for renal HPT between 2007 and 2017 as a consecutive sample. Group 1 (n = 30; tertiary HPT), group 2 (n = 66; secondary HPT). Of group 1, 4 patients were excluded for PTX before and after kidney transplantation. In group 2, 20 patients were excluded since they had not undergone kidney transplantation during follow-up. Twelve patients were excluded because of short follow-up (kidney transplantation in 2018), and 3 patients were excluded because of transplant failure within 90 days. Twenty-six patients underwent posttransplant PTX (10 patients within 12 months after transplant), and 31 patients had undergone PTX prior to kidney transplantation. Graft function, serum calcium concentrations, parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, postoperative morbidity, and 90-day mortality were recorded. RESULTS Median age was 53.1 years in group 1 and 49.1 years in group 2. Most patients were male (53.8% in group 1; 54.8% in group 2). Median preoperative PTH levels were significantly different with 331.6 pg/mL in group 1 and 667.5 pg/mL in group 2 (P = .003). Creatinine levels changed little from 1.4 mg/dL (range, 0.8-2.5) to 1.7 mg/dL (range, 0.7-7.3) in group 1, and no difference was seen between early or late PTX after transplantation. In group 2, creatinine levels were 8.5 mg/dL (range, 4.6-11.7) before PTX and 8.7 mg/dL (range, 5.1-11.9) after PTX. We saw no correlation between postoperative PTH and kidney function. Thirty-five patients with postoperative PTH < 15 pg/mL displayed a mean postoperative creatinine of 5.5 mg/dL (range, 4.3-6.8), similar to other patients. Both the 30-day and 90-day mortality rates were zero. CONCLUSIONS PTX had no negative effect on graft function, whether performed before or after (early or late) kidney transplantation. Surgical cure of renal HPT should be performed as soon as possible to prevent secondary complications and can also be safely carried out early after transplantation.

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
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
The normal distribution of parathyroid glands is well documented. However, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of total parathyroidectomy (TPTx) and bilateral cervical thymectomy (BCTx) for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) through identifying the location of parathyroid glands with attention to the pattern and frequency of orthotopic and ectopic glands.Between 2013 and 2018, sixty chronic hemodialysis patients with medically refractory SHPT underwent TPTx & BCTx. The adequacy of the operation was defined by the pathological confirmation of at least 4 parathyroid glands, accompanied by an intact parathormone (iPTH) value of <60 pg/mL on postoperative day 1(POD1). Based on their anatomical localizations, four distinct sites were identified for both the upper (Zone I-IV) and lower parathyroid glands (Zone V-VIII).The mean follow-up was 15.2 ± 14.6 months. The mean iPTH values on POD1 were normal in 50 patients, with an average of 11.7 ± 14.4 pg/mL. Ten patients (16.6%) had persistent HPT after the operation, three of whom underwent complementary parathyroidectomy. The surgical success rates after first and second operations were both 83.3%. A total of 235 parathyroid glands were detected. Ninety-two percent of the upper parathyroids were located in Zones I and II. However, almost 28% of the lower parathyroids were ectopic and located in Zones VII and VIII.At least one fourth of the lower parathyroids are ectopic; for this reason, Zones VII and VIII require careful investigation during surgery. For upper parathyroids not found in Zone I-III, total thyroidectomy on the same side is recommended.

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
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: Total parathyroidectomy (tPTX) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (tPTX + AT) are effective and inexpensive treatments for secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT), but we do not know which one is the optimal approach. Therefore, we undertook a meta-analysis to compare the safety and efficacy of these two surgical procedures. Methodology: Studies published in English on PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library from inception to 27 September 2016 were searched systematically. Eligible studies comparing tPTX with tPTX + AT for sHPT were included and Review Manager v5.3 was used. Results: Eleven studies were included in this meta-analysis. Ten cohort studies and one randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving 1108 patients with sHPT were identified. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of surgical complications (relative risk [RR], 1.71; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77–3.79; p = .19), all-cause mortality (RR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.33–1.39; p = .29), sHPT persistence (RR, 3.81; 95% CI, 0.56–25.95; p = .17) or symptomatic improvement (RR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.91–1.13; p = .79). tPTX could reduce the risk of sHPT recurrence (RR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.09–0.41; p < .0001) and reoperation because of recurrence or persistence of sHPT (RR, 0.46; 95% CI 0.24–0.86; p = .01) compared with tPTX + AT. Simultaneously, tPTX increased the risk of hypoparathyroidism (RR, 2.63; 95% CI, 1.06–6.51; p = .04). Conclusions: We found tPTX and tPTX + AT to be useful methods for sHPT treatment. tPTX was superior for reducing the risk of sHPT recurrence and reoperation than tPTX + AT but, due to a lack of high statistical-power RCTs, comparative studies will be needed in the future.

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.

Abstract
Background Different surgical strategies are used to treat medical refractory renal hyperparathyroidism. Our preferred choice in patients with moderate secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and in patients with low compliance with medical treatment is to leave a very small parathyroid remnant in situ: we name this operation "near total parathyroidectomy" (ntPTX). We report here our results with this technique. Methods Retrospective study [2001-2015] of all patients submitted to ntPTX in a single centre. Results Forty-seven patients were submitted to ntPTX (32 males) aged 47.3 years. Follow-up time is 8.5 years. Thirty-five patients (74%) are alive, 12 are dead. One patient in this series had a functioning renal transplant at time of ntPTX (tertiary hyperparathyroidism), and other 27 subsequently received a renal transplantation (RTx) after ntPTX (still functioning at last follow-up or at death in 19). Amongst the 35 current survivors, the renal graft is functioning in 16 (45.7%). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) at follow-up was 116.1±135.5 pg/mL and calcium 8.6±0.9 mg/dL. Among patients with a functioning RTx PTH was 83 pg/mL and calcium 8.7 mg/dL. There was no persistent disease, and 3 patients (6.4%) had a relapse of hyperparathyroidism at follow-up. Conclusions ntPTX is associated to very satisfying rates of normal parathyroid function and of relapse of hyperparathyroidism (6.4%) at long term, either in case of RTx or of maintenance hemodialysis: the concept of "small amount" remnant represents a valuable choice for patients undergoing PTX with a realistic chance of receiving a RTx.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In dialysis and renal transplant patients with secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), the value of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) during parathyroidectomy (PTX) and its association with long-term PTH levels are unknown. The present study aims at evaluating the relationship of ioPTH with long-term PTH levels post-PTX in dialysis and renal transplant patients in a single-center study. METHODS The ioPTH was measured in 57 dialysis patients (33 females and 24 males) and 18 renal transplant recipients (12 males and 6 females) who underwent PTX from 2005 to 2015 for refractory HPT. Near-total PTX was performed in 56 patients and total PTX with autotransplantation in 20 patients. The PTH monitoring included 3 samples: pre-intubation, 10- and 20-min (pre-ioPTH, 10-ioPTH, and 20-ioPTH) post parathyroid gland excision. Patients were followed up for up to 5 years. RESULTS In the dialysis group, the median (25th-75th percentile) pre-, 10-, and 20-ioPTH levels were 1,447 pg/mL (938-2,176), 143 pg/mL (78-244) and 112 pg/mL (59-153) respectively. In the renal transplant group, pre-, 10-, and 20-ioPTH levels were 273 pg/mL (180-403), 42 pg/mL (25-72), and 34 pg/mL (23-45) respectively. All patients in the transplant group had a functional kidney transplant at the time of PTX with a median serum creatinine of 1.3 mg/dL (1.2-1.7) and estimated glomerular filtration rate of 55 mL/min (40-60). The median time between renal transplant and PTX surgeries was 22 months (7-81). The last median follow-up PTH level was 66 pg/mL (15-201) in the dialysis group and 54 pg/mL (17-72) in the transplant group (p = 0.438). The mean time for last PTH post-PTX was 2.3 ± 2.0 years. In both groups, there was no significant difference between 20-ioPTH and any-time post-PTX PTH levels (p = 0.6 and p = 0.9). Nineteen patients (25%) were readmitted within 90 days because of hypocalcemia. One patient in the dialysis group was readmitted for post-PTX hematoma evacuation. No patient required repeat PTX because of recurrent HPT that was refractory to medical therapy. Only one dialysis patient required repeat PTX because the first procedure failed. CONCLUSIONS The 20-ioPTH is a good indicator of long-term PTH levels in dialysis and renal transplant patients. Hypocalcemia is a common complication, particularly in dialysis patients, and it is the main reason for readmission after PTX. Hypoparathyroidism is a potential concern after PTX in dialysis patients.

Abstract
Background We have identified a cause of falsely elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels after total parathyroidectomy with forearm auto-transplantation (TPT-ATx). Our cases highlight the need to draw PTH samples remotely, away from forearm graft sites, to ensure accurate levels. Case presentations We report on four patients who were referred to our surgical team at an academic tertiary care center for what was perceived to be recurrent hyperparathyroidism 2–5 years following total parathyroidectomy with auto-transplantation. Further evaluation revealed highly discrepant results in these patients depending on where the blood was drawn, with spuriously high levels in blood drawn from the grafted arm (Range 337–3885 ng/l), and much lower levels when blood was drawn remotely away from the graft site (Range 9–242 ng/l). The difference in PTH level between the grafted forearm and remote site for these patients ranged between 328 and 3643 ng/l. Over the period these cases were accrued (2008–2012), 89 patients underwent TPT-ATx in our institution. Therefore, our case report series suggests that this phenomenon will be evident to a clinically important extent in at least 4% of patients. Conclusions One can acquire spuriously high PTH levels from grafted forearms, leading to the false diagnosis of recurrent hyperparathyroidism. We recommend PTH levels be drawn remotely from graft sites to ensure accurate systemic levels are reflected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) requiring parathyroidectomy (PTX) occurs more commonly in patients with progressive chronic kidney disease and in those on long-term lithium therapy. Successful PTX often results in a dramatic drop of parathyroid hormone level, relieves the patient from clinical symptoms, and reduces mortality. However, there is an ongoing debate on the optimal surgical treatment of SHPT. Currently, no clinical guidelines or trials have definitely answered the question of whether Total Parathyroidectomy (TPTX) is superior or equal to Total Parathyroidectomy with Autotransplantation (TPTX + AT). OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were to compare the efficacy of two different surgical procedures and to develop evidence-based practice guidelines for the treatment of SHPT. METHODS Citations were identified in the Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Chinese Biomedical Literature databases through November 2016. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) score was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies included. All data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS A total of nine cohort studies and one Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT), comprising 1283 patients, were identified. The NOS score of all the studies included was 5 or above. Compared with TPTX + AT, patients in the TPTX group had lower rates of "recurrence" (OR = 0.20; 95%CI, 0.11-0.38; P < 0.01), "recurrence or persistence" (OR = 0.18; 95%CI, 0.10-0.33; P < 0.01), "reoperation due to recurrence or persistence" (OR = 0.17; 95%CI, 0.06-0.54; P = 0.002), and shorter "operative time" (WMD = -17.30; 95%CI, -30.53 to -4.06; P < 0.05), except for a higher risk of "hypoparathyroidism" (OR = 2.97; 95%CI, 1.09-8.08; P = 0.01). However, none of the patients had developed permanent hypocalcemia or adynamic bone disease. No significant difference was found for "symptomatic improvement", "complications", "drug requirements", and "hospital stay" (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The findings indicate that TPTX is superior to TPTX + AT, while referring to the rate of recurrent SHPT. However, this conclusion needs to be tested in large-scale confirmatory trials. TPTX seems to be a feasible alternative therapeutic option for the surgical treatment of refractory SHPT.
