The Challenge of Preoperative Panel Reactive Antibody Positivity in Parathyroid Transplantation.

Objectives: Identifying suitable recipient criteria and matching recipients with appropriate donors are required to increase survival for parathyroid transplant. This study was undertaken to evaluate transplant survival rates while comparing preoperative panel reactive antibody positivity.

Materials And Methods: The study included 14 hypoparathyroidism patients who presented to our clinic for parathyroid transplant.

An Alternative and Up-To-Date Recommendation for a Proper Site for Parathyroid Transplantation: The Omentum.

Objectives: Various sites have been used for parathyroid allotransplant, such as injection into the forearm, sternocleidomastoid, or deltoid muscles. However, transplant efficiency in these regions varies according to the results reported in the literature and also obtained from our previous studies. Using the omentum "as a natural incubator" for composite tissue-derived cell transplants to increase transplant success is possible.

Graft survival effect of HLA-A allele matching parathyroid allotransplantation.

Permanent hypoparathyroidism is an endocrine disease that is mostly associated with the disruption of the parathyroid glands during surgery. Allotransplantation is the most promising approach for treatment particularly for its cost-effective and exact curative potential. Herein our aim was to evaluate human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A allele matching effect on clinical improvement and graft survival after parathyroid transplantation.
