Abstract | BACKGROUND: AIMS: STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective comparative study. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Total parathroidectomy with autotransplantation is a beneficial and safe surgical procedure for patients on chronic dialysis with otherwise uncontrollable secondary hyperparathroidism and even in patients who have undergone renal transplantation after parathyroidectomy. Careful cervical exploration and routine thymectomy should be considered as a routine part of the surgical approach regardless of the preferred technique.
