Reduced surgical manipulation in a cohort of patients treated by minimally invasive parathyroidectomy with ultrasonography‐based visual map.

Via Clinical Otolaryngology Abstract 1. The correct localization of parathyroid adenomas is one of the main difficulties during mini-invasive parathyroidectomy. 2. To ease the surgical localization of pathological parathyroid tissue and reduce surgical manipulation, we have introduced in our clinical practice a bidimensional visual map based on preoperative ultrasonography. 3. The ultrasonography-based visual map is a reliable tool which can be easily consulted by the surgeon preoperatively and during surgery. 4. The map is drawn with the aim of representing the exact localization of adenomas respecting their borders with other organs (i.e., esophagus, thyroid lobe, carotid artery). 5. The use of the ultrasonography-based visual map can minimize surgical manipulation, thus reducing the risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. View on the web Inoreader.
