How Total Parathyroidectomy + Autotransplantation is performed
This procedure is for multi-glandular hyperplasia or recurrent/persistent lesions. The plan can be selective resection, subtotal resection, or total resection combined with autotransplantation (if applicable). Neck exploration is usually performed under general anesthesia to identify and protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid blood supply, and the diseased glands are resected according to the plan; during autotransplantation, small pieces of the gland are implanted into the muscle bed to retain some function. Postoperative focus is on monitoring blood calcium, magnesium, and PTH, being alert to "hungry bone syndrome", and observing the long-term function of the transplanted tissue. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
