ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Recently, some surgeons have suggested that minimally invasive parathyroidectomy guided by preoperative localizing studies of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)-associated primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) provides an acceptable outcome while minimizing the risk of hypoparathyroidism. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome for MEN1 patients who underwent limited parathyroidectomy compared with subtotal parathyroidectomy.METHODS:
The authors performed a retrospective analysis of 99 patients with MEN1-associated pHPT who underwent at least one parathyroid operation at their institution. Preoperative imaging studies, intraoperative findings, and clinical outcomes for patients were compared.RESULTS:
A total of 99 patients underwent 146 operations. Persistent pHPT was significantly higher in patients whose initial operations involved removal of 1 or 2 glands (69 %) or 2.5 to 3 glands (20 %) compared with those who had 3.5 or more glands removed (6 %) (P < 0.01). Persistent pHPT occurred in 5 % of all operations that cumulatively removed 3.5 or more parathyroid glands compared with 40 % of operations that removed 3 or fewer glands (P < 0.01). The single largest parathyroid gland was correctly identified preoperatively in 69 % (22/32) of the patients. However, preoperative localizing studies missed enlarged contralateral parathyroid glands in 86 % (19/22) of these patients. Preoperative localizing studies missed the largest contralateral parathyroid gland in 16 % (5/32) of the patients.CONCLUSIONS:
Limited parathyroidectomy in MEN1 is associated with a high failure rate and should not be performed. Preoperative identification of a single enlarged parathyroid gland in MEN1 is not reliable enough to justify unilateral neck exploration because additional enlarged contralateral parathyroid glands are frequently missed.
