Objectives. To study the effectiveness of surgical treatment of the secondary hyperparathyroidism with parathyroid autotransplantation application.
Methods. A retrospective data analysis of 39 patients receiving the renal replacement therapy in hemodialysis department of ME “The 1st Clinical Hospital” and suffering from the secondary hyperparathyroidism; they were subjected to parathyroidectomy (PTE) with autotransplantation of the parathyroid tissue on the basis of the head and neck tumors department of ME “Minsk City Clinical Oncologic Dispensary”. Patients’ average age was 50 [44-55] years. Parathyroid autograft was stored in sterile cold NaCl solution, grinded and implanted into brachioradialis muscle of the forearm. Serum levels of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase have been evaluated in the postoperative period.
Results. Postoperative follow-up period made up 21 [12-24] months. Transient hypocalcaemia has developed in 5 patients. The recurrence of hyperparathyroidism was observed in two cases and reoperation was carried out. During follow-up period we observed the stable and statistically significant (P≤0,01) reduction of serum PTH, calcium and phosphate in comparison with initial levels, wherein differences in the level of PTH in 1 month and 24 months after PTE was unreliable (p<0,8). Sensitivity of US and scintigraphy of the parathyroid glands with Tc-99m-MIB I in regard to the nature of parathyroid pathology was 79.9%.
Conclusion. Total PTE with autologous parathyroid tissue transplantation in the forearm muscles is considered to be a highly effective and pathogenetic reasonable method of treatment of severe secondary renal hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients. Along with safety, a small number of complications and the lack of lethality, the developed technology allowed reducing the recurrence rate of hyperparathyroidism, preventing the development of postoperative hypoparathyroidism, achieving a good cosmetic effect, shortening the time of hospitalization.
