Endoscopic parathyroidectomy offers a minimally invasive surgical option for primary hyperparathyroidism. This technique, utilizing advanced localization and intraoperative tools, allows for scarless neck surgery through axillary or anterior chest approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism treatment has increasingly adopted minimally invasive procedures.
  • Advances in preoperative localization (ultrasonography, sestamibi scintigraphy) and intraoperative guidance (scans, PTH assay) have improved surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a scarless endoscopic surgical technique for primary hyperparathyroidism.
  • To present the application of endoscopic parathyroidectomy via axillary and anterior chest approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 'pure' endoscopic approach with gas insufflation for parathyroidectomy.
  • Performed unilateral neck exploration via an axillary approach for primary hyperparathyroidism.
  • Conducted bilateral neck exploration via an anterior chest approach for renal hyperparathyroidism.

Main Results:

  • The described endoscopic techniques allow for parathyroidectomy with no visible neck scars.
  • Preoperative and intraoperative advancements facilitate improved localization and surgical precision.
  • Both axillary and anterior chest endoscopic approaches were successfully applied.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic parathyroidectomy is a viable, minimally invasive option for primary hyperparathyroidism.
  • The 'pure' endoscopic approach, particularly via axillary or anterior chest routes, offers excellent cosmetic results.
  • This technique enhances patient outcomes by minimizing scarring and invasiveness.
