| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) has become the procedure of choice in the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism where a single adenoma can be localized preoperatively. The role for intra-operative parathyroid hormone measurement (IOPTH) is controversial. Some experts recommend that IOPTH is a mandatory requirement for successful MIP while others state that the technique is not needed. We reviewed 10 years of MIP in a single unit without the use of IOPTH in order to examine causes of failure. METHODS: This study is a retrospective review of the University of Sydney Endocrine Surgery Database from May of 1998 to August of 2008. The database was queried for MIPs performed as well as for failed operations. Patient record analysis was completed to determine the reason for failure of the operation. RESULTS: In the period January 1998 to August 2008, a total of 2343 parathyroidectomy procedures were performed. Of these, 1020 were MIPs with 23 (2.2%) failures. One patient was found to have benign familial hypercalcemia, whereas five were lost to follow-up. Reasons for failure in the remaining 17 patients were: 10 patients (59%) were found to have double adenomas, 3 (17%) patients with hyperplasia and 4 (24%) patients with single gland disease were missed at initial operation. All 17 were cured on repeat exploration. CONCLUSION: MIP can be performed safely and with 98% success without the need for IOPTH. The most common cause of failure after MIP is an occult double adenoma. Given that repeat sestamibi scan correctly identifies persistent disease in most cases, consideration can be given to MIP as a choice of procedure for repeat operation. |

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.
