Objective: To compare the postoperative hypocalcemia between ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) and total parathyroidectomy (TPTX) for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).

Methods: The retrospective study reviewed 286 SHPT patients (171 received MWA and 115 underwent TPTX) between March 2018 and May 2019. Propensity-score matching was used to assemble a cohort of patients with similar baseline characteristics. A total of 184 SHPT patients (92 in each group) were finally enrolled, the occurrence and prognosis of postoperative hypocalcemia were compared. And the risk factors associated with severe hypocalcemia (SH) in each group were analyzed.

Results: Hypocalcemia encountered in 95cases (49 in the MWA group and 46 in the TPTX group). SH occurred in 76 cases (40 in the MWA group and 36 in the TPTX group). There were no statistically significant differences in the detection time, incidence, minimum value of serum calcium and symptomatic hypocalcemia between MWA and TPTX group (all values > 0.05). Of patients developing hypocalcemia, serum calcium did not recover to normal range in 5 cases (10.2%) in the MWA group, while 13 cases (28.3%) were still hypocalcemia at 6 months follow-up in TPTX group ( = 0.035). The time to recovery from hypocalcemia in the TPTX group (mean 30 days, range 3-180 days) was longer than the WA group (mean 14 days, range 3-126 days) ( = 0.000). High serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level and low serum calcium level were the main risk factors of postoperative SH.

Conclusion: There was no difference in hypocalcemia between MWA and TPTX group. Hypocalcemia in the TPTX group might need a longer time to recover.

Preoperative total parathyroid volume is an independent marker to predict recurrence for secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Department of Maxillofacial and Otorhinolaryngology Oncology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, Key Laboratory of Basic and Translational Medicine on Head& Neck Cancer, Tianjin, Key Laboratory of Cancer Prevention and Therapy, Tianjin Cancer Institute, National Clinical Research Center of Cancer, Tianjin, China.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the value of preoperative total parathyroid volume (TPV) as a marker for predict recurrence of renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).

Methods: We identified 28 patients with recurrence and 128 without recurrence who underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (tPTX + AT) at our institution between 2015 and 2022. The TPV and postoperative recurrence information of the patients were recorded.

Objective: To identify the risk factors of postoperative severe hyperkalemia after total parathyroidectomy (TPTX) without auto-transplantation in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).

Methods: Data on 406 consecutive patients who underwent TPTX without auto-transplantation for secondary hyperparathyroidism at the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between January 2013 and January 2023, were prospectively collected. Then, patients were divided into the training set (n=203) and the validation set (n=203) in a ratio of 1:1 by timeline.

Article Synopsis
  • Pneumothorax (PTX) is a significant concern in trauma centers, with up to 20% of patients presenting with it, and about 5% of combat casualties dying from tension PTX (tPTX), making rapid diagnosis and treatment critical.
  • The Donaldson Decompression Needle (DDN) is designed to improve safety during decompression by preventing over-insertion and reducing the risk of causing new injuries while still effectively alleviating pressure in the chest.
  • A study comparing the DDN to a standard needle found that while setup times were similar, the DDN had a significantly longer decompression time, highlighting a trade-off between safety and speed in handling PTX.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and identify risk factors for severe hypocalcemia following total parathyroidectomy (TPTX) in patients with renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT).

Patients And Methods: We included patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis who underwent TPTX from January 1, 2018, to April 30, 2023. Participants were categorized into groups based on postoperative corrected serum calcium levels: severe hypocalcemia (<1.

Surgical treatment of tertiary hyperparathyroidism: does one fit for all?

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

December 2023

Department of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Surgical Clinic, University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy.

Background: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (3HPT) is defined as a condition of excessive autonomous excretion of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) with persistent hypercalcemia (>10.5 mg/dL) that lasts for more than 12 months after a successful kidney transplantation, in the context of a long course secondary hyperparathyroidism (2HPT). The chronic high levels of iPTH cause a worsening of graft function, accompanied by systemic symptoms of hypercalcemia.
