Abstract:Purpose Parathyroidectomy is beneficial in tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) consequent to chronic renal failure. The craniofacial morphology of patients who undergo total parathyroidectomy and autologous transplantation (tPTX + AT) has not been widely studied. This study assessed the efficacy of tPTX + AT in THPT and evaluated possible improvements in craniofacial features. Methods This retrospective analysis included patients who were diagnosed with medically refractory THPT and had undergone tPTX + AT bet… Show more
