[Parathyreoid autoransplantation in secondary hyperparathyreoidism (author's transl)].
Subtotal Parathyreoidectomy offers no problem after surgery, nor after Kidney transplantation. But a recurrence needs extensive investigations for localisation of recurrent hyperplastic glands. The necessary reoperation is loaded with difficulties. After total Parathyreoidectomy hypocalcaemia is a severe complication. Therefore in patients awaiting Kidney transplants in a chronic dialysis program the procedure is not opportune. In 11 patients following total Parathyreoidectomy and autoplastic parathyreoid transplant, we found nearly normal parathyreoid hormone plasma levels. The advantage of this method is: The function of the autoplastic graft is testable and a possible recurrence is easily resectable.
