Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the result of unilateral ex ploration for the treatment of hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid adeno ma. Methods Clinical data of 20 case s from 1986 to 1999 were retrospectively analysed. Preoperative imaging examinat ion was suggestive of unilateral lesion and unilateral exploration was performed accordingly.Results were compared with that of bilateral exploration. Results In 19 out of 20 cases the result of u nilateral exploration was satisfactory making bilateral approach unnecessary exc ept for one whose symptom was later proved to be caused by bilateral lesions.Conclusions The authors came to the c onclusi on that solitary adenoma is the most common cause of hyperparathyroidism in Chin ese patients,hence unilateral exploration is of advantages.
