| Abstract | BACKGROUND/AIMS: Primary hyperparathyroidism can be cured by minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with optimized preoperative localization. Ultrasonography (US) and 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) scan are the imaging modalities most widely used for the localization of the affected glands. In this study, we defined the roles of US and MIBI scan. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 40 patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for a single parathyroid adenoma between 2004 and 2013. US and scintigraphic findings were compared with operative findings. RESULTS: Adenomas were accurately localized using US and MIBI scan in 38 patients (95%) and 37 patients (92.5%), respectively. Twenty-nine patients (76.3%) showed typical extrathyroidal hypoechoic nodule with central or peripheral vascularity, and, after MIS, we confirmed that they were suffering from a single parathyroid adenoma. Eight patients with atypical US findings and two patients with an undetectable lesion on US underwent MIS after localization using MIBI scan or computed tomography (CT). Only one patient showed an extrathyroidal cystic nodule evidenced by high parathyroid hormone cystic fluid on ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and negative MIBI scan. All lesions not localized on US were located in the superior portion. CONCLUSIONS: US is a sensitive and accurate method for the preoperative localization of parathyroid adenoma, especially if the lesion has typical US features and is located inferiorly. We suggest that US be the first localization modality and that MIBI scan or CT be used in the limited number of cases with negative US findings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
