  • Title: [Radio-guided parathyroidectomy].
    Author: Calbo L, Gorgone S, Palmieri R, Lazzara S, Sciglitano P, Catalfamo A, Calbo E, Campennì A, Ruggeri M, Vermiglio F, Baldari S.
    Journal: G Chir; 2009; 30(11-12):510-3. PubMed ID: 20109383.
    Abstract:
    The Authors, after a careful review of literature about the instrumental diagnostic techniques (with particular attention to the nuclear-medical ones) and the surgical therapy of parathyroid diseases, report their experience on the use of the radio-guided mininvasive surgery with MIBI and gamma-probe for intraoperative localization of pathological glands. Once exposed their experience, the Authors conclude asserting that this technique is fast, slightly invasive and expensive, and certainly useful for the detection of pathological or ectopic glands. It can be widely employed because, in comparison to its numerous advantages, such as the reduction of the operating time and of the hospital-stay, the greater radicality and the possibility to use mininvasive techniques, it does not present significant technical limitations and/or radio-protectionistic problems.
