| Summary: | Neðst á síðunni er hægt að nálgast greinina í heild sinni með því að smella á hlekkinn View/Open We did a clinical and pathological study of 34 patients (27 females and 7 males) operated on for primary hyperparathyroidism during a 5 year period 1985-1989 at the Reykjavik City Hospital. Of these 28 patients became normocalcemic immediately after operation, 2 patients needed medical- treatment for hypoparathyroidism for several months. Four patients had a persistent hypercalcemia, two of those were successfully reoperated on after localization of a parathyroid adenoma with the help of selective venous sampling and angiography in one case and thallium-technetium subtraction scintigraphy in the other. Two patients relapsed but they have only mild and symptomfree hypercalcemia. Two patients still have slight persistent hypercalcemia. Two patients suffered transient unilateral vocal cord paralysis. No other complications were noticed. The operative success rate is 88.2%. Histological diagnosis was confirmed in 31 patients, 29 patients (93.5%) had adenoma, two patients (6.5%) had hyperplasia. There was one case of double adenoma. Two patients had oxyphil cell adenoma. In one case of adenoma there was a previous history of radioiodine treatment for hyperthyroidism. One patient had MEA-I and parathyroid adenoma. Both hyperplasia cases were of the chief cell type. During the 5-year period 1985-1989 a total of 64 patients (54 females, 10 males) were operated on in Iceland and had histologically proven hyperparathyroidism, 55 patients (86%) had adenoma, 9 patients (14%) had hyperplasia. This corresponds to 5.2 operations per 100.000 inhabitants per year. No parathyroid carcinoma was diagnosed during the study period. In conclusion, as we find in our material negligible operative complications and a high surgical success rate, we recommend a surgical treatment of all hyperparathyroid patients except in cases where contraindications for surgery are to be found.
