Abstract
Seven patients underwent reoperation for recurrent SHPT, 1 of them twice (8 reinterventions in 56 patients). In 2 patients only 3 parathyroid glands were removed at the first intervention and recurrence was due to the presence of a fourth gland. In 4 patients, ST-PTX was performed and recurrence was due to a remnant hyperplasic area in 1 and to a fifth gland in 3. Recurrence in the patient with a TPTX-AT was to due to cervical parathyromatosis. All the patients with recurrence had a positive preoperative Tc-MIBI scintigraphy and the computed tomography/ magnetic resonance examination was highly useful for anatomical localization of the lesion and for planning the surgical approach.
