title: [Surgical treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal failure. Report of 57 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to report the experience of the department of general surgery (Aile III) Ibn Rochd Hospital in surgical management of hyperparathyroidism in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty seven patients (24 M, 33F) with hyperparathyroidism underwent surgical parathyroidectomy from 1998 to 2004. Surgical indication was established according to clinical or biological assessment. Fifty nine operations were performed (57 first-hand cervicotomies and resumptions in too cases).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Histological examination of parathyroid gland specimens disclosed adenoma in 33 patients and hyperplasia in 14 patients. The follow-up was normal in 52 patients, marqued by cervical hematoma in 2 cases and death was deplored in 4 patients. The post-operative calcium level was in the normal range in 43 cases, low comparatively to the baseline in 12 cases and high in 2 cases. The PTH levelwas normal in 55 patients and high in two patients. Long-term outcome was evaluated in 36 patients mean follow-up (18 months). A good evolution was noted in all patient referring to clinical, biological and radiological investigations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  That, in our context, surgical parathyroidectomy still an appropriate approach for the treatment of hyperparathyroidism in patients with end-stage renal disease.
