          SUMMARY

          During the last two decades, several techniques for minimally-invasive parathyroidectomy have been developed, including open approaches (open minimally-invasive parathyroidectomy – OMI P), minimally-invasive radio-guided parathyroidectomy (MI-RP), video-assisted parathyroidectomy (VAP), video-assisted parathyroidectomy through a lateral approach (VAP-LA) and purely endoscopic parathyroidectomy (EP). We have reviewed the pertinent literature, analyzing the indications, outcomes, advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques. Even if the field of minimally-invasive parathyroidectomy is heterogeneous, there is some evidence that minimally-invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP) should be preferred over OMIP for better cosmetic outcomes, improved visualization of neck structures and control of pain. There is also low-level evidence that MIVAP has some advantages over other purely endoscopic procedures for parathyroidectomy and VAP-LA, in terms of technical difficulties, in addition to the possibility to perform bilateral exploration and associated procedures on the thyroid gland. While the data on medium-term results are encouraging, longer follow-up times are still needed to confirm its safety and rate of cure with respect to conventional surgery. It has been demonstrated that MIVAP is also feasible in secondary and familial hyperparathyroidism, although no conclusive data are available.

          RIASSUNTO

          Nel corso degli ultimi due decenni sono state sviluppate e descritte numerose tecniche di paratiroidectomia mini-invasiva, che comprendono gli approcci cosiddetti "aperti" (Open Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy – OMIP), la paratiroidectomia mini-invasiva radioguidata (Minimally Invasive Radio-guided Parathyroidectomy – MI-RP), la paratiroidectomia video-assistita (Video-Assisted Parathyroidectomy – VAP), la paratiroidectomia video-assistita con approccio laterale (Video-Assisted Parathyroidectomy by lateral approach – VAP-LA) e le tecniche puramente endoscopiche (Endoscopic Parathyroidectomy – EP). In questo lavoro abbiamo valutato la letteratura, analizzando per le varie tecniche le indicazioni, i risultati, i vantaggi e gli svantaggi. Dall'analisi della letteratura, in un campo così eterogeneo come quello della paratiroidectomia mini-invasiva, si evince come esistano evidenze che fanno preferire la MIVAP alla OMIP, in ragione del miglior risultato estetico, della migliore visualizzazione delle strutture cervicali e del minor dolore postoperatorio. Ci sono inoltre delle evidenze, anche se di basso livello, che mostrano dei vantaggi della MIVAP sulle altre tecniche endoscopiche e sulla VAP-LA in termini di minori difficoltà tecniche, possibilità di effettuare un'esplorazione bilaterale e procedure associate sulla tiroide. Sebbene i risultati a medio termine siano entusiastici, è necessario un follow-up più lungo per confermarne l'efficacia in termini di tasso di guarigione rispetto alla chirurgia convenzionale. Recentemente la MIVAP è stata proposta anche per il trattamento dell'iperparatiroidismo secondario e familiare, ma ad oggi non sono disponibili dati conclusivi.

              Worldwide trends in the surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism in the era of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.

              Minimally invasive surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism has become an accepted part of endocrine surgical practice worldwide. Survey of members of the International Association of Endocrine Surgeons. Clinical practice of endocrine surgeons worldwide. Numbers of parathyroid procedures performed, types of minimally invasive procedures undertaken, and techniques used to ensure completeness of removal of hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue as reported by the survey respondents. Of 160 surveys completed, 95 (59%) indicate that the surgeons currently perform minimally invasive parathyroidectomy and use this technique on average for 44% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. The most common approach is the focused technique with a small incision, either central or lateral (92% [87 respondents]), followed by a video-assisted technique (22% [21 respondents]), and a true endoscopic technique with gas insufflation (12% [11 respondents]). Techniques used to ensure completeness of resection include the quick intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone assay (68% [65 respondents]), a same-day intact parathyroid hormone assay (17% [16 respondents]), and the nuclear probe (14% [13 respondents]). The number of parathyroidectomies performed worldwide increased from 1727 in 1980 to 6977 in 2000 with the average number per surgeon increasing from 23 in 1980 to 45 in 2000. Geographically, 20 (59%) of 34 surveys from the Americas report the use of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, 23 (56%) of 41 from the Australasian region, and 34 (49%) of 69 from Europe or the Middle East. The number of parathyroidectomies performed for primary hyperparathyroidism has increased worldwide over the past 20 years. More than half of the surgeons responding to the survey perform minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, with the most using the focused small-incision technique.
