    Abstract:
    The possibility of preoperatively localizing overactive parathyroid adenoma by measuring the difference in parathormone levels in selective blood samples from the thyroid venous plexus and from the periphery (large veins) by radioimmunoassay has brought a decisive advance in parathyroid surgery. We report our experience with this preoperative localization technique, which we have used in 10 patients.
