Surgeon performed ultrasound facilitates minimally invasive parathyroidectomy by the focused lateral mini-incision approach.
2008
Background
Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is now widely accepted where a single adenoma can be localized preoperatively. In our unit, MIP is offered once a parathyroid adenoma is localized with a sestamibi (MIBI) scan, with or without a concordant neck ultrasound. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of surgeon performed ultrasound (SUS) with radiologist performed ultrasound (RUS) in the localization of a parathyroid adenoma in MIBI-positive primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
