Background: Patients who require surgery for renal hyperparathyroidism represent a special population that is at high risk for postoperative complications. To optimize their treatment, we developed a multidisciplinary approach to the perioperative management of these patients undergoing parathyroidectomy.
Methods: The Augusta University endocrine surgery parathyroid database was interrogated to identify dialysis-dependent patients undergoing parathyroidectomy from 2005 to 2015.
