Disorders of Parathyroid Glands• hypoparathyroidism -rare. Almost always caused
by excessive surgical removal of parathyroid tissue (iatrogenic) during thyroid or parathyroid surgery
• hyperparathyroidism (HPT): – primary - hi Ca++, hi PTH - usually due to single
adenoma (90%), cured by removal of adenoma
– secondary - lo Ca++, hi PTH, seen in chronic renal failure - not a surgical problem
– tertiary - hi Ca++, hi PTH, seen after renal transplant - hyperplasia of all 4 glands

Traditional Surgery for Hyperparathyroidism
• primary HPT - 4 gland exploration, remove adenoma, biopsy 3+ normal glands
• tertiary HPT (after renal transplantation) - 3 1/2 gland removal +/- forearm autotransplant

Complications of Parathyroid Surgery
• persistent HPT - 1-20% (experience dependent)• temporary or permanent hypocalcemia - 1-
20%• nerve injury - recurrent or superior laryngeal -
1-10%• bleeding - <5%
![Page 8: Evolution of Parathyroid Surgery Using Sestamibi Imaging Guidance](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815949550346895dc683ec/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Unilateral Exploration for Primary HPT
• if: one abnormal, hypercellular gland and one normal gland found on one side, no contralateral exploration
• occasional use of preop thallium-technetium scan
• results of 5 studies - cure 93-100%
![Page 9: Evolution of Parathyroid Surgery Using Sestamibi Imaging Guidance](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815949550346895dc683ec/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Indications for Operation in Asymptomatic Patient w/ Primary
HPT - NIH Consensus(1990)
• markedly elevated serum Ca++• episode of life-threatening hyperCa++• reduced creatinine clearance• renal stones• markedly elevated 24 hr urinary Ca++• substantially reduced bone mass (by DEXA
scan)• age <50 (relative indication for surgery)
![Page 10: Evolution of Parathyroid Surgery Using Sestamibi Imaging Guidance](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815949550346895dc683ec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Parathyroid Imaging
• Tc-99m sestamibi scan (Cardiolyte)• ultrasound• initially thought useful only in persistent or
recurrent disease• thallium-technetium subtraction scan - now
rarely used
![Page 11: Evolution of Parathyroid Surgery Using Sestamibi Imaging Guidance](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815949550346895dc683ec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Tc-99m Sestamibi Scan
• taken up by actively metabolizing tissues - salivary glands, thyroid, parathyroid glands
• over time, blood flow causes washout from thyroid and normal parathyroid glands
• delayed images show a discrete “hot spot” in 75-80% patients with primary HPT
• can be used to direct minimally invasive surgical approaches

Advances Enabling Localized Exploration
• Tc-99m sestamibi radioguided exploration
• rapid IOPTH assay - 1/2 life = 3-5 minutes
![Page 16: Evolution of Parathyroid Surgery Using Sestamibi Imaging Guidance](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815949550346895dc683ec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Rapid IOPTH Assay
• exploits short half life (3-5 minutes) of PTH• serum baseline level #1 prior to exploration• level #2 after exploration but before removal
adenoma• levels 5 & 10 minutes after adenoma removal• 5 minute level > 50% second baseline level =
high prediction of success-Irvin G, et al, 1993

Minimally Invasive Radioguided Parathyroidectomy (MIRP)
• only in patients who localize by pre-op sestamibi scan (75% with primary HPT)
• sestamibi scan performed 2-3 hours before exploration - timing crucial
• gamma probe used to find the “hottest” spot• ex vivo adenoma counts >20% background• no further dissection and no frozen section• if no adenoma found, 4 gland exploration
-Norman J, et al, 1997

Evolution of Surgery for Primary HPT
• Preoperative sestamibi in all patients with primary HPT:– help decision whether to operate in selected patients
– localize adenoma to plan localized exploration
• Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP):– 2-4 cm incision
– often w/ local + sedation
– out-patient procedure
– +/- IOPTH testing - biochemical confirmation
• Endoscopic removal of parathyroid gland(s)
