Secondary hyperparathyroidism: recurrence after total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation.

CONCLUSION: Recurrence of sHPTH after PTX remains a problem, occurring in every fifth patient. In our experience, the introduction of intraoperative PTH measurement has helped to lower the rates of persistence and recurrence. Further reductions in the recurrence rate might be achieved with novel, more accurate pre- and intraoperative imaging techniques. PMID: 31800966 [PubMed - in process]
