When and How to Perform Bilateral Neck Exploration for Hyperparathyroidism in 2022 (2022 AMW)
2022 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
Primary hyperparathyroidism caused by a single adenoma is often a simple minimally invasive resection. However, bilateral exploration of the neck can be expected or unexpected while performing parathyroidectomies. Each of the causes of hyperparathyroidism, from the development of single-adenoma or multi-gland disease have similar processes but distinct preoperative work-up, medical and surgical management, and immediate post-operative surveillance. This expert panel will review the important aspects, nuances, and unique challenges of treating this multifaceted disease process, with particular focus on when and how to do a bilateral exploration with today’s available tools.
