Abstract

Objectives: To assess the utility of radio-guided surgery (CRG) as a surgical method for the different forms of presentation of hyperparathyroidism.

Study design: A retrospective descriptive study.

Material and methods: 76 patients: 67.1% women and 32.9% men. In our cohort of patients, who underwent surgery between 2011 and 2018, we analyze the following parameters: Age, clinical and radiological suspicion, lesion size, adjuvant surgery, pathological result, reoperation, recurrences, subsequent analytical study, post-surgical complications, imaging tests performed, effectiveness, and postoperative evolution.

Results: Parathyroid lesions were correctly identified and resected in 98.68% of cases. The histological study confirmed the presence of parathyroid adenoma in 81.57%, hyperplastic tissue in 11.89%, and parathyroid cancer in 2.63% of the patients. 98.68% of the patients did not experience complications inherent to the CRG.

Conclusions: 98.68% efficacy in lesion location and treatment result.
