Utility of intraoperative digital scintigraphy in radioguided parathyroidectomy

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Background

Intraoperative scintigraphy (IoS) has been proposed as a tool for real-time intraoperative decision-making regarding parathyroid adenoma localization and confirmation of excision.

Methods

Retrospective review of patients who underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomies with scintigraphy performed intraoperatively. Preoperative neck ultrasound, 4D computed tomography, as well as intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) and gamma probe measurements were conducted per standard practice. IoS images were obtained prior to and following parathyroid excision. Cases were reviewed to determine accuracy of IoS for localizing parathyroid pathology and confirming successful excision.

Results

Fifty-six cases met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-nine patients (51.8%) showed confirmation of excision of an abnormal gland on post-excision IoS. There were no significant differences in IOPTH reduction and postoperative laboratory values between patients with IoS-identified resolution and those without IoS-identified resolution.

Conclusions

With low accuracy in correctly localizing abnormal glands and confirming their excision, there is no appreciable benefit of IoS at this time.
