Subtotal parathyroidectomy vs total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation for secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients: Short- and long-term outcomes
Journal of American College of Surgeons Apr 28, 2019
Zmijewski PV, et al. - Via this retrospective review of 46 dialysis patients undergoing parathyroidectomy at a 719-bed tertiary care hospital, researchers compared the short- and long-term outcomes of subtotal parathyroidectomy and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation (TPTX-AT) for dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. TPTX-AT led to improved long-term control of parathyroid hormone elevation and avoidance of recurrent disease but with a higher risk of long-term hypocalcemia.
