04/01/2006 - "(99m)Tc-MIBI scintigraphy is a reliable non-invasive exploratory tool and its preoperative use results in a significant reduction in the number of recurrences in haemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who are candidates for subtotal parathyroidectomy. "
07/01/2005 - "Here we present a hemodialysis patient with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism who was found to have abnormally higher plasma bio-intact-PTH concentrations than intact-PTH concentrations, and the abnormally high biointact-PTH/intact-PTH ratio improved after parathyroidectomy (PTx). "
09/01/2006 - "Total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation is an effective treatment for severe uremic secondary hyperparathyroidism patients."

10/01/2013 - "Although the best treatment option is to perform a parathyroidectomy in the waiting period before transplantation, we suggest that it be performed in cases with prolonged hypercalcemia of >6 months after transplantation. "
04/01/1982 - "3. Most patients have symptomatic hypercalcemia (73 per cent in our series) and are improved with parathyroidectomy."
01/01/2014 - "Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (PTx) represents the treatment of choice for symptomatic patients, leading to several advantages, including immediate normalization of hypercalcemia and significant improvement of bone mineral density, cardiovascular dysfunctions, neuropsychological symptoms and quality of life. "
11/01/2008 - "Parathyroidectomy, during the second trimester, is the therapeutic gold standard, especially in cases of severe hypercalcemia (>12 mg/dL)."

11/01/2001 - "Sestamibi scanning with a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy shortens operating room time and is most effective when adenomas are large. "
03/01/2012 - "In our study, 66 patients with negative results on preoperative scans were found to have a single adenoma and were surgically cured by minimally invasive/focused parathyroidectomy."
10/01/2006 - "This change has taken place because of the improved accuracy of pre-operative localizing studies in selecting patients who have single-gland parathyroid disease (single adenoma) and can therefore have a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. "
01/01/2010 - "Intraoperative PTH Assay during Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy May Be Helpful in the Detection of Double Adenomas and May Minimise the Risk of Recurrent Surgery."
07/01/2003 - "Conversion to conventional parathyroidectomy was required in 42 patients (14%): missed adenomas (11 cases), difficulties of dissection (7 cases), multiglandular disease correctly predicted by qPTH (10 cases); qPTH assay false negative results (3 cases), sestamibi scan false positive results (10 cases) and 1 sonography false positive result.
