Preface

The treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism involves the removal of abnormally enlarged parathyroid gland or glands with the goal of the surgery to normalize parathyroid hormone level and to achieve eucalcemia. Four-gland parathyroid exploration remains the gold standard approach for parathyroid surgery. A minimally invasive, focused, or targeted approach to remove a single parathyroid gland (an adenoma) has become a widely accepted approach for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism, since about 85% of patients will develop only a single parathyroid adenoma as a cause of the disease. Multiple radiological tests have been developed to localize a parathyroid adenoma and to facilitate with the minimally invasive surgical approach. Nevertheless, a classic statement by John Doppman made in 1986 remains accurate that “the only localization study indicated in a patient with untreated primary hyperparathyroidism is the localization of an experienced parathyroid surgeon.” The Atlas of Parathyroid Surgery is designed to illustrate different techniques on how to perform successful parathyroidectomy by using different approaches. Knowledge of anatomy and precise surgical technique remain the foundation of high-quality surgery. This atlas is written by renowned endocrine surgeons, experts in the field who are members of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons and are not only involved in teaching and publishing but also have mastered this surgical technique and modernized it to the point of perfection! This  atlas  includes techniques for performing a parathyroidectomy by using traditional four-gland exploration approach and minimally invasive approaches, such as the open minimally invasive approach, video-assisted approach, backdoor approach, transoral endoscopic parathyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOEPVA), and endoscopic lateral parathyroidectomy approach. It also illustrates removal of a right and left and superior and inferior parathyroid glands. Each chapter starts with a case description that defines the main aspect of surgery. Each picture, which is taken intraoperatively, is accompanied by corresponding drawings for easier understanding of the anatomical structures and steps of the procedure. In addition, most of the authors provided a video of the same case as it is depicted in the chapter, which is annotated and can be accessed online via SpringerLink (link.springer.com). This atlas also gives some common pitfalls of the procedure in an effort to avoid complications and improve patient outcomes. We hope this atlas will provide an indispensable source of knowledge to all surgeons, those who just started their career and those who are in the more advanced stages of their practice and are learning new techniques of parathyroidectomy.

Bilateral Exploration for Hyperparathyroidism Janice L. Pasieka and Steven Craig

Introduction A bilateral neck exploration (BNE) is a fundamental skill for any surgeon involved in the treatment of parathyroid disease, and it remains the gold standard procedure for the management of hyperparathyroidism (HPT). In experienced hands, it is a safe and highly effective procedure. Furthermore, it is a cost-effective operation that can be performed anywhere in the world, without need for sophisticated preoperative imaging modalities or intra-operative surgical adjuncts. This chapter describes the morphological information and technical steps that facilitate performing this operation in a safe and efficient manner.

• Conversion from a unilateral approach, due to failure to identify one normal and one abnormal gland • Conversion from a focused, image-directed approach, due to failure of intra-operative parathyroid hormone iPTH measurements to fall in accordance to defined criteria

Advantages of Bilateral Approach

 reoperative Considerations for Confirmed P Hyperparathyroidism

• Allows for morphological examination of all parathyroid glands to distinguish single-gland disease (SGD) from multi-gland disease (MGD), which can remain occult on preoperative localization studies and iPTH criteria • Cost-effective effective surgical strategy as it does not depend on preoperative imaging or surgical adjuncts • Lower rate of long-term recurrence compared to focused approaches [1, 2]

Indications

Disadvantages of Bilateral Approach

• Non-visualization of parathyroid adenoma on preoperative imaging studies • Discordant results on preoperative imaging studies • Limited or no access to preoperative imaging and/or surgical adjuncts such as intra-operative parathyroid hormone (iPTH) monitoring • Familial causes of HPT, including multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 or 2, familial isolated HPT, and HPT-jaw tumor syndrome • Four-gland parathyroid hyperplasia, including progressive secondary and tertiary HPT

• Typically requires a general anesthesia. • Exposure of all parathyroid glands and both recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) increases the risk of RLN injury and post-operative hypocalcemia.

Preoperative Assessment Confirmation of Diagnosis • Diagnosis of HPT is biochemical; imaging modalities aid in surgical planning only, not in diagnosis. • Initial assessment should include serum calcium, phosphate, PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 24-hour urine calcium and creatinine, serum creatinine levels. • Genetic counselling should also be considered in young patients (
