Relative Contributions of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi Scintigraphy, Intraoperative Gamma Probe Detection, and the Rapid Parathyroid Hormone Assay to the Surgical Management of Hyperparathyroidism
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS: Technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scintigraphy, intraoperative gamma probe detection, and the rapid parathyroid hormone assay have been used to permit a directed operation in patients with hyperparathyroidism. We hypothesized that the coordinated use of these techniques might be particularly useful in patients who require a second operation for hyperparathyroidism.
DESIGN: Retrospective analysis was performed to determine the specific …
