Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving successful parathyroid surgery through accurate preoperative tumor localization using ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) as a diagnostic tool for hyperparathyroidism patients.
- A total of 56 FNAs were performed on 27 patients, confirming parathyroid lesions with high mean parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, demonstrating clear differentiation from thyroid aspirates.
- The findings show that US-guided FNA is a safe and effective method for confirming parathyroid lesions, achieving 100% sensitivity, thus enhancing patient selection for minimally invasive surgery.
