Parathyroidectomy is the treatment of choice for primary hyperparathyroidism when the
clinical criteria are met. Although bilateral neck exploration is traditionally the standard …

Introduction. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a condition characterized by disorders
of calcium–phosphate metabolism and bone metabolism caused by pathological …

Background Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is well treatable surgically. Sonography
(US) and sestamibi scintigraphy (MIBI) are used routinely, but it is unclear how valuable they …

Designed to enhance the learning experience for both practicing otolaryngologists and
otolaryngology residents, Bailey's Head & Neck Surgery—Otolaryngology, 6th Edition …

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disorder characterized by hypercalcemia and an
elevated or inappropriately normal parathyroid hormone level. Classic features include bone …

The objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate preoperative imaging modalities
for localization of parathyroid adenomas with a view to enable minimally invasive …

Objective It is important to detect parathyroid adenomas by parathyroid scintigraphy with
99m-technetium sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI) before surgery. This study aimed to develop and …

Importance Emerging computed tomographic (CT) imaging techniques for the localization of
primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) may be superior to the current imaging standard, thus …

Background The contribution of intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring to minimally
invasive parathyroidectomy remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate whether …

Background Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) scan to localize abnormal
parathyroid glands is diagnostically superior to ultrasound (US) and sestamibi. The …
