NCT01530919

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a minimally invasive surgical approach to removing parathyroid gland(s). The researchers are also interested in analyzing abnormal parathyroid tissue for changes in genes and proteins that may contribute to overactive parathyroid gland(s).

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The positive and negative predictive value of sestamibi scanning to detect parathyroid adenomas.

    2-3days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The value of intraoperative parathyroid hormone assay to verify biochemical cure or primary hyperparathyroidism

    2-3 days

  • Collection of abnormal parathyroid tissue at the time of surgery for tissue analysis

    day of surgery (1 day)

Study Arms (1)

Parathyroid surgery

Database of patients who have undergone minimally invasive radioguided parathyroidectomy

Procedure: Minimally invasive radioguided parathyroidectomy

Interventions

After the patient is prepared for surgery and under local anesthesia, the initial incision by the surgeon will be 2-3 cm. The surgeon will dissect in the designated quadrant until the parathyroid gland is identified.
