Test Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy Under Local Cervical Block Anesthesia for Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Parathyroid Adenoma

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

With both improvement in preoperative parathyroid tumor identification and the use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) assay, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is now performed more frequently in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) compared to both historically and to cervical exploration. Still, many institutions are not familiar with performing MIP under regional or local anesthesia. We present such an operation under local cervical block anesthesia.
