title: [Methods of intraoperative localization in the surgery treatment of persistent and recurrent secondary hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: The intraoperative localization of residual parathyroid tissue during re-operations for persistent or recurrent secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) could have difficult due to cicatricial phenomena, anatomic modifications, ectopic or super-numerous glands. The use of intraoperative localisatin methods, as ultrasonographic and gamm-camera, permits a great level of success in identifying residual gland tissue. The Authors report their experience in the treatment of 5 cases of persisten HPT and 3 cases of recurrent HPT using gamma-camera and ultrasonography intraoperatively. Gamma-camera presented a sensitivity of 88% while ultrasonography did 100%. According to the experience, even numerically limited, of the Authors, intraoperative ultrasonography offers better results than gamma-camera, with less technical complexity.
