Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone in Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone in Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy Via JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery Current Issue To the Editor My attention was arrested by the article by Quinn et al on the use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) in minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP). To our knowledge, it is the first meta-analysis on this topic showing a beneficial association of ioPTH with cure rates—98% vs 94.8% without ioPTH. It will have a considerable effect on surgical treatment for PHP. Nonetheless, I have some comments on the methodology, results, and conclusion of the trial. View on the web Inoreader.
