[PMID: 33663332 PMCID: PMC7939554 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2021.1889601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2020] [Revised: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the current study was to determine the performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the assessment of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hyperplastic parathyroid glands due to secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). METHODS Thirty-two patients, each with ≥4 hyperplastic parathyroid glands due to SHPT, underwent RFA via hydro-dissection. CEUS was performed in each patient before and during RFA. The patients in whom the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level did not decrease to 300 pg/ml were examined by CEUS. The iPTH, serum calcium, and serum phosphorus levels before and after RFA were compared. RESULTS Ablation was achieved in all patients (131 ablated glands). The volume of the glands was 479.88 ± 549.3mm3. The pre-operative and day 1 post-operative iPTH levels were 2355 ± 1062 and 292.7 ± 306.8 pg/ml, respectively. Three nodules in three patients showed little enhancement on CEUS on post-operative day 1. The iPTH level was <300 pg/mL on post-operative day 1 in 23 patients, which indicated complete ablation; follow-up evaluations were therefore performed. The pre- and post-operative iPTH levels in the 23 patients were 2113 ± 787.2 and 106.2 ± 84.62 pg/ml, respectively (p < 0.05), and the 6- and 12-month post-operative iPTH levels were 111.1 ± 56.57 and 117.6 ± 97.08 pg/ml, respectively (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS CEUS-guided RFA is effective and feasible for the treatment of ≥4 hyperplastic parathyroid glands. CEUS was shown to assist the surgeon before, during, and after RFA. CEUS on post-operative day 2, but not immediately post-operatively, was shown to accurately reflect gland perfusion.

Abstract
Background Forearm autotransplantation after parathyroidectomy has turned into the standard method for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) treatment in chronic kidney disease patients. Our study aimed to explore the effects of three methods including muscle, subcutaneous and muscle + subcutaneous transplant methods on SHPT. Methods Seventy five SHPT patients were enrolled and assigned into the muscle + subcutaneous (M + S) (n = 26), muscle (M) (n = 35), and subcutaneous (S) (n = 14) groups. The operation efficacy evaluation included preoperative and postoperative biological characteristics such as parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum phosphorus, serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The data were recorded from pre-operation time point to 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 month (mo) postoperation periods. After operation, short-form health survey (SF-36) scores was made for life quality identification at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24 time points. Symptoms about SHPT including bone pain, fracture, pruritus, and coronary artery calcification were followed-up based on the scale. Results Compared with the preoperative record, all the M + S, M, and S groups showed postoperative decreased levels of PTH, serum phosphorus, serum calcium, calcium-phosphorus. In M + S group, the PTH and serum calcium level kept more steady compared with the M and S groups during a 24 mo duration observation. After this, a SF-36 score scale which represents the life quality show M + S group got more scores at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 mo points. At last, the incidence of SHPT associated symptoms including Bone pain, Fracture, Pruritus, and Coronary artery calcification in M + S group were decreased compared with M and S groups at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 mo post-operation time points. Conclusion M + S seems to be an efficient method for medical treatment of SHPT patients in the control of PTH and serum calcium. This mixed transplant strategy improves the biochemical characterizes compared with M and S groups in SHPT patients. Furthermore, the M + S method make beneficial on clinical outcomes and life quality of patients.

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
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
Introduction: Surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism related to chronic kidney disease
is a challenging procedure even for experienced parathyroid surgeons. Over
the years, adjuvant techniques have been developed to assist the medical
team to improve surgical outcomes. However, medical staff in poor countries
have less access to these techniques and the effectiveness of surgery in
this context is unclear. Objective: verify the effectiveness of surgery for treatment of hyperparathyroidism
related to chronic kidney disease without adjuvant techniques. Methods: Over a 5-years period, patients with hyperparathyroidism that had clinical
therapeutic failure were evaluated for surgical treatment. Total
parathyroidectomy with autograft or subtotal resection were the selected
procedures. Surgeries were performed in a tertiary hospital in Brazil
without the assistance of some of the adjuvant techniques that are usually
applied, such as frozen section, nerve monitoring, and gamma probe.
Intraoperative PTH and localization pre-operative exams were applied, but
with huge restrictions. Results: A total of 518 patients with hyperparathyroidism (128 secondary and 390
tertiary) were surgically treated. Total parathyroidectomy were performed in
81.5%, subtotal in 12.4%, and 61% of patients had a surgical failure. Of all
failures, only 1.4% needed a second surgery totaling 98.6% of successful
initial surgical treatment. Neck hematoma and unilateral focal fold
paralysis occurred in 1.9% and 1.5%, respectively. Conclusion: parathyroidectomy is a safe and reproducible surgical procedure even in the
absence of adjuvant techniques.

Abstract
Background The patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) usually had reduced bone mineral density, which might lead to a substantial increase in osteoporosis, fracture and mortality. Although surgical intervention is effective in reducing parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in suitable candidates refractory to medical therapy, the effect of surgery on bone mass changes still requires further evaluation. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of BMD changes after total parathyroidectomy (PTX) without autotransplantation and its associated factors. Methods The records of 34 patients who underwent successful total PTX without autotransplantation with a preoperative and postoperative dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan in our institution within 4 years of operative intervention were reviewed. Correlation and regression analysis were used to identify factors that independently predict BMD changes. Results At baseline, we found that the prevalence of osteoporosis seemed to be much higher in the load-bearing lumbar spine than in the hip, varying greatly even between different lumbar vertebrae. The bone loss in SHPT had its predilection site in the load-bearing cancellous bone. After curative total PTX without autotransplantation, BMD improved significantly in both lumbar spine and hip overall. The largest increase in BMD occurred at L4 vertebrae with the lowest pre-operative BMD. At the most affected site L4, BMD improved in up to 94.1% of patients: 86.2% had significant improvement, 5.9% moderate improvement, and 5.9% declining bone mineral density. Correlation and regression analysis suggested that percentage changes in BMD were predicted negatively by the preoperative BMD and positively by the preoperative parathyroid mass but not intact PTH levels. Conclusion Total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation could improve BMD of secondary hyperparathyroidism at L1-L4 and the hip. Furthermore, the large parathyroid glandular mass and the preoperative BMD predicted the BMD changes after surgery.

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 Our study aims to explore the effect of total parathyroidectomy (PTX) with forearm autotransplantation (FAT) on the quality of life and recurrence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in chronic kidney disease patients. METHODS A total of 104 chronic kidney disease patients with SHPT were enrolled and divided into the PTX (n = 62) and PTX + FAT (n = 42) groups. The operation efficacy was evaluated by analyzing preoperative and postoperative values, including levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum phosphorus, serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium-phosphorus product, signs and symptoms, and MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) scores. Moreover, complications and recurrences were followed up for 12 months after the operation. Binary logistic regression was to present the risk factors for the recurrence of chronic kidney disease patients with SHPT. RESULTS Compared with the preoperative values, the PTX and PTX + FAT groups showed decrease postoperative levels of iPTH, serum phosphorus, serum calcium, calcium-phosphorus product, bone pain, and skin pruritus at all time periods. The PTX and PTX + FAT groups demonstrated decreased ALP, fracture or deformity, and coronary artery calcification at 1 month, decreased short stature at 3 months after the operation but increased SF-36 score after operation. Compared with the PTX group, the level of iPTH decreased and the levels of serum calcium, calcium-phosphorus product increased at 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation in the PTX + FAT group. The levels of ALP, fracture or deformity, short stature, and SF-36 decreased separately at 1 week and 6 and 12 months after the operation, along with the decrease of coronary artery calcification and the recurrence rate, respectively, at 6 and 12 months after the operation in the PTX + FAT group when compared with those in the PTX group. Logistic regression analysis evidenced that the preoperative iPTH level, SF-36 score, and operation type were the risk factors for the recurrence of chronic kidney disease with SHPT. CONCLUSION Total PTX combined with FAT is more effective in improving the quality of life and reducing the recurrence of chronic kidney disease with SHPT than PTX alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine if ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hyperplastic parathyroid glands could be used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in patients with chronic kidney disease. METHODS RFA of the hyperplastic parathyroid glands was performed in 34 patients with secondary HPT. Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calcium, and phosphorus were measured. The outcome was based on the ablation extent (ie, 4, 3, and 1-2 glands). RESULTS The iPTH, calcium, and phosphorus levels decreased in all groups after RFA. One year after ablation, these parameters remained significantly lower in the 4-gland ablation group compared with the 3-gland and 1 to 2-gland groups. The same tendency was observed for the symptom score. The iPTH levels of <272 pg/mL on the day after ablation was the best predictor for maintaining parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in a reasonable range 1 year after ablation. CONCLUSIONS RFA of hyperplastic parathyroid glands for treating secondary HPT is feasible in selected patients. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 39: 564-571, 2017.

The Value of the Model and Quantitative Parameters of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Judging the Severity of SHPT. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:6064526. [PMID: 28078296 PMCID: PMC5204084 DOI: 10.1155/2016/6064526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2016] [Revised: 11/06/2016] [Accepted: 11/23/2016] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Using the model and quantitative parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to assess the severity of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) was proposed. 42 SHPT patients who underwent CEUS examination were divided into three groups, light, moderate, and heavy as per parathyroid hormone (PTH). The process of CEUS was divided into two phases, wash-in phase and wash-out phase. The three groups were analyzed with their enhancing model in the two phases. The quantitative parameters of CEUS such as Arrival Time (AT), Time to Peak (TTP), Mean Transit Time (MTT), and Maximum Intensity (IMAX) were measured by time-intensity curve (TIC) and compared among the three groups. The enhancing model of light SHPT, moderate SHPT, and heavy SHPT showed statistical significance in wash-in phase and wash-out phase (P < 0.05). No difference was observed in AT and TTP among the three groups (P > 0.05) while MTT and IMAX showed statistical significance (P < 0.05). The CEUS of light SHPT was characterized by "slow-in, fast-out, and lower-enhancement" with short enhancement time; the CEUS of moderate SHPT was characterized by "fast-in, fast-out, and higher-enhancement" with slightly long enhancement time; the CEUS of heavy SHPT was characterized by "fast-in, slow-out, and higher-enhancement" with long enhancement time. Therefore, the model and quantitative parameters of CEUS can be benefit for the assessment of the severity of SHPT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parathyroid autotransplantation is an easy procedure with a low complication rate. We adopted the transplantation into the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which allows an easier and time-saving surgical procedure using the same surgical incision. METHODS In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the records of 396 consecutive patients, who underwent total thyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease. In all cases in which a parathyroid was damaged or inadvertently removed, the gland was transplanted; before the autotransplantation, the parathyroid tissue was put in a cell culture nutrient solution for 5 min, afterward fragmented, and then was transplanted in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. To demonstrate a beneficial effect of the cell nutrient solution step, we compared data of transplanted patients with a control group of cases (n = 190) undergoing a standard immediate autotransplantation. RESULTS We divided patients in two main groups: group A (n = 160) including subjects that underwent one or more parathyroid gland autotransplantation using the cell nutrient solution, and group B (n = 236) concerning those who were not transplanted. Among patients, 62 hypocalcemias occurred, 40 in the group A and 22 in the group B (P < 0.001): 91.9 % were transient and 8.1 % (5 patients) definitive, all pertaining to the group B. Among controls (group C), 42 hypocalcemias occurred (P = 0.616 vs. group A and P = 0.002 vs. group B) and 3/42 became definitive (P = 0.096 vs. group A and P = 0.121 vs. group B). All differences concerning pre- and postoperative calcium values were statistically significant (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We recommend the routine parathyroid autotransplantation, when a vascular damage is certain or suspected, in order to reduce the rate of permanent hypoparathyroidism, using a cell culture nutrient solution before gland transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful parathyroidectomy (PTX) often results in a dramatic drop in the parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, relieves the patient from clinical symptoms, and reduces mortality. Although PTX is generally a successful treatment for progressive secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) patients subjected to surgery, a significant proportion develops recurrent SHPT following PTX. KEY MESSAGE SHPT requiring PTX occurs more commonly in progressive chronic kidney disease and in long-term lithium therapy. Operative approaches include subtotal PTX, total PTX with or without autotransplantation, and possible thymectomy. Each approach has its proponents, advantages, and disadvantages. Although PTX offers the highest percentage cure for SHPT, compared to all other medical and surgical treatment, recurrent hyperparathyroidism can be observed in some patients dependent on follow-up time. A literature review and analysis of recent data regarding how to reduce recurrence of SHPT at the time of primary surgery was performed. The current literature and our own experience in the field have confirmed that pre-operative imaging, thymectomy, stereo magnifier, and surgical procedure may effectively reduce recurrence of SHPT at the time of primary surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent and persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) nodules have an incidence of 10-70% after surgery. The treatment of recurrent and persistent SHPT nodules is a challenge, and surgical resection of difficult-to-reach or post-operative adhesions often fails. PURPOSE The aim of this research was to study the safety and effectiveness of microwave ablation (MWA) for recurrent and persistent SHPT. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 11 patients enrolled with a total of 16 nodules, and MWA was employed to manage SHPT. The laboratory test results, including the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, improvement of SHPT-related symptoms after ablation, and complications during and after MWA were recorded and analysed. RESULTS After ablation the value of iPTH was markedly decreased from 1570 ± 1765 pg/mL to 287 ± 239 pg/mL 1 day after MWA (p < 0.05). The levels of serum calcium and phosphorus decreased from 2.51 ± 0.23 mmol/L to 2.06 ± 0.27 mmol/L (p < 0.001) and 1.80 ± 0.43 mmol/L to 1.48 ± 0.32 mmol/L (p < 0.05), respectively, 1 day after MWA. There was no significant difference in the ALP value before and after MWA (p > 0.05). The clinical symptoms, including ostalgia, pruritus, disability, and restless legs, improved after MWA. Minor complications and side effects encountered during or after MWA include haematoma (1/11, 9%), transient hoarseness (2/11, 18.2%), hypocalcemia (6/11, 54.5%). No major complication occurred. CONCLUSION MWA may be safe and effective to manage recurrent and persistent SHPT nodules; a definite conclusion needs to expand the sample size with a longer follow-up time.

Abstract
Background Surgical management of renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is varying. Total parathyroidectomy with heterotopic autotransplantation (TPTX + AT) is one of the standard surgical procedures in sHPT, but there is no consensus about the optimal site for graft insertion. At the surgical department of the University Hospital of Heidelberg we prefer the autotransplantation into the tibialis anterior muscle. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term function of the auto-transplanted parathyroid tissue in this type of surgical procedure. Methods The function of the autograft of 42 patients was assessed 8.2 ± 2.5 years after surgery, using a modified Casanova-test of the leg bearing the parathyroid tissue. Ischemic blockage was induced by tourniquet and the levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) were assessed during the test. Results At the point of assessment, the ischemic blockage led to a significant reduction in the concentration of PTH (≥50 % of the baseline value) in 19 patients (45 %) indicating well-functioning autografts. In 11 patients (26 %), ischemic blockage did not cause any change in the concentration of PTH (≤20 % of the baseline value), indicating functioning residual parathyroid tissue from another site. The source of PTH production was classified as unidentifiable in five patients (12 %). Two patients had developed graft-dependent recurrent HPT (5 %) without therapeutic consequences and three patients suffered from persistent symptomatic hypoparathyroidism (7 %). Conclusions These results indicate that TPTX + AT into the tibialis anterior muscle is a successful surgical treatment for renal HPT and that the modified Casanova-test is a suitable diagnostic tool for autografts function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is a common acquired disorder in patients with chronic renal failure. Despite the development of new therapeutic agents, a majority of patients will require parathyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate total parathyroidectomy with auto-transplantation of trace amounts of parathyroid tissue as a surgical option in uremia sHPT treatment. METHODS Clinical data of 50 sHPT patients who underwent total parathyroidectomy with auto-transplantation between January 2011 and December 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Symptoms such as bone pain and fractures, concentrations of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), levels of ionized calcium and serum phosphorus, and activity of alkaline phosphatase were recorded before and after parathyroidectomy. RESULTS After operation, signs of pruritus, bone pain and muscle weakness was disappeared, iPTH level and serum phosphate concentration were declined markedly. No serious postoperative complications were observed. Follow-up observation was around 28 months. One female patient (2%) died 3 months after surgery due to heart failure, and another patient (2%) had persistent disease. All other patients recovered during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Total parathyroidectomy with auto-transplantation of trace amounts of parathyroid tissue was considered to be a feasible, safe and effective surgical option for the treatment of sHPT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical application and superiority of the da Vinci(®) Si Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) in total parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total parathyroidectomy was performed with the da Vinci Si Surgical System by the four-trocar axillo-bilateral-breast approach. The patients were placed in the supine position, and the operation procedure included creating the workspace, docking, and consoling stages. The camera arm is centered in the working space. Three working arms are then placed adjacent to the camera. The Harmonic(®) scalpel (Ethicon Endo-surgery, Inc., Cincinnati, OH) was used for hemostasis and gland resection, and dissected parathyroid was taken out by a specimen pouch. RESULTS Total parathyroidectomy with trace amounts of parathyroid tissue autotransplantation in 6 patients was successfully performed with the da Vinci Si Surgical System. There were no operation-related complications and no conversions to open or endoscopic surgery. Mean operation time was 156 minutes. Patients were discharged from the hospital 6 days after surgery. The postoperative cosmetic result was satisfactory, with minimal numbness and tingling on the anterior chest. CONCLUSIONS This initial study shows that robotic total parathyroidectomy via the axillo-bilateral-breast approach is a safe and feasible alternative to selected patients, especially those with esthetic concerns.
