Surgical Outcomes for Secondary and Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism: A 10-Year Study in Surin hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Secondary hyperparathyroidism, a common and potentially severe complication of chronic kidney disease, requires surgical treatment in cases of medical treatment failure. Many operative approaches and outcomes are available in such cases.
Objective: In this study, we investigated success rates and factors associated with the success of surgical treatment in secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure.
Methods: This retrospective analytic cohort study included 57 patients who underwent an operation for total parathyroidectomy accompanied by autotransplantation between January 2013 and December 2022 at Surin Hospital.
Results:We investigated 57 patients (33 men [57.9%], 24 women [42.1%]). Secondary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed in 31 (54.4%) and tertiary hyperparathyroidism in 26 patients (45.6%). The success rate was 96.5%; 3.5% of the patients showed persistent hyperparathyroidism, and none of them showed recurrent disease. The accuracy of sestamibi scans for parathyroid gland localization was only 7.01%.
Conclusions: The success rate of total parathyroidectomy accompanied by autotransplantation was 96.5% at Surin Hospital.
