Abstract
Aim:
to detect the importance of combination of Ultrasonography and Sestamibi
scintigraphy in the preoperative localization of patients with hyperparathyroidism to increase the adoption of minimally invasive Para thyroidectomy techniques.
Methods:


A Prospective study included 40 patients who were admitted to Ain shams University Hospitals between January 2016 and January 2018. These patients were biochemically proven to have hyperparathyroidism in a non-randomized non controlled clinical trial. All patients underwent bilateral four gland exploration.

Results:


The efficacy of the preoperative localization studies has been prospectively evaluated and correlated with intraoperative finding, pathological examination of removed gland and post-operative calcium level and parathyroid hormone level.

Conclusion:

The combined Ultrasonography and Sestamibi scintigraphy in the preoperative localization of hyperparathyroidism is accurate in 90% of cases which in consequences will increase the adoption of minimally invasive Para thyroidectomy techniques which will provide the advantages with regard to cosmetic result, length of hospitalization, and reduced post-operative pain.
