  • Title: Thoracoscopic resection with intraoperative use of methylene blue to localize mediastinal parathyroid adenomas.
    Author: Adachi Y, Nakamura H, Taniguchi Y, Miwa K, Fujioka S, Haruki T.
    Journal: Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2012 Mar; 60(3):168-70. PubMed ID: 22419188.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of thoracoscopic resection of mediastinal parathyroid adenomas using methylene blue to localize the tumors during the operation. After methylene blue 4 mg/kg was injected intravenously, we easily identified methylene blue-stained parathyroid glands and successfully resected them with sufficient surgical margins. The use of methylene blue for detection of parathyroid adenoma is a useful technique.
