Abstract

BACKGROUND: Different surgical strategies are used to treat medical refractory renal hyperparathyroidism. Our preferred choice in patients with moderate secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and in patients with low compliance with medical treatment is to leave a very small parathyroid remnant in situ: we name this operation "near total parathyroidectomy" (ntPTX). We report here our results with this technique.
