Abstract:
The approach to parathyroid surgery has changed from bilateral exploration to focused, minimally invasive surgery. The intraoperative rapid parathyroid hormone assay has become an important tool in modern parathyroid surgery. This article outlines the technique and interpretation of the assay. Results of studies that evaluate the validity of the technique are summarized. The limitations and pitfalls of this technique are also discussed.
