[Parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism: anatomo-surgical observations on experience in 16 treated cases].
The authors, on personal experience, based on parathyroidectomies for secondary hyperparathyroidism, relate the surgical anatomic findings after a brief discussion on indications. They relate beside some atypical seats of parathyroid glands, observed in 11 glands of the 59 removed. Finally they emphasize the importance of accuracy of surgical exploration because that cannot be helped by instrumental methods or by gross pathologic observation.
