Endoscopic parathyroidectomy offers a safe and effective minimally invasive surgical option for primary hyperparathyroidism. This technique provides excellent cosmetic outcomes and reduces operative time, proving suitable for selective neck exploration.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endocrine Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Extraperitoneal approaches in laparoscopic surgery are increasingly utilized.
  • Primary hyperparathyroidism often requires surgical intervention for adenoma removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.
  • To assess the preliminary outcomes of this minimally invasive technique.

Main Methods:

  • Selective neck exploration and endoscopic parathyroidectomy were performed in 4 women (aged 57-74).
  • Preoperative localization utilized technetium-sestamibi scanning and cervical ultrasonography.
  • A CO2-insufflated extraperitoneal workspace was created using a balloon-tip trocar.

Main Results:

  • All procedures were completed successfully via endoscopic approach.
  • No intraoperative complications were reported.
  • Mean operative time was 40 minutes with highly satisfactory cosmetic results.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic parathyroidectomy is a feasible, safe, and cosmetically advantageous option for primary hyperparathyroidism.
  • Further technique refinement may extend its application to mediastinal and secondary hyperparathyroidism cases.
