Abstract:
Objective To investigate the feasibility of unilateral neck exploration for parathyroid adenoma. Methods The clinical data of preoperative image localization and intraoperative unilateral neck exploration of 15 cases of parathyroid adenoma from 1996 to 2002 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results Unilateral neck explorations of the 15 cases were performed successfully with the guidance of preoperative ultrasonography , CT, MRI and 99m Tc MIBI scans, and the treatment effect was satisfactory. Conclusion Unilateral neck exploration of parathyroid adenoma could be feasible if accurate preoperative image localizations are available.
