[Parathyroid transplantation and cryopreservation techniques]. / Trapianto di paratiroidi e techniche di crioconservazione.

ABSTRACT

This report reviews several aspects of parathyroid transplantation, including some technical aspects of cryopreservation. The problems concerning the control of autograft are also presented, with a little review of the more recent references. These results lead to the recommendation that total parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation should be considered as the method of choice in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
