Atlas Of Parathyroid Surgery

This Atlas is designed to illustrate different techniques on how to perform successful parathyroidectomy by using traditional four gland exploration approach and minimally invasive approaches, such as the open minimally invasive approach, video-assisted approach, back-door approach, transoral endoscopic parathyroidectomy approach (TOEPVA), and endoscopic lateral parathyroidectomy approach. It illustrates removal of a right and left, and superior and inferior parathyroid glands. Written by renowned endocrine surgeons and experts in the field, each chapter begins with a case description that defines the main aspect of surgery. Each picture, which is taken intraoperatively, is accompanied by corresponding drawings for easier understanding of the anatomical structures and steps of the procedure. In addition, most of the authors provided a video of the same case as it is depicted in the chapter. The Atlas also gives some common pitfalls of the procedure in an effort to avoid complications and improve patient outcomes. Atlas of Parathyroid Surgery provides an indispensable source of knowledge to all surgeons, those who just started their career, and those who are in the more advanced stages of their practice and are learning new techniques of parathyroidectomy.

A title in the new Surgical Techniques Atlas series edited by Drs. Townsend and Evers, presents state-of-the-art updates on the full range of endocrine surgical techniques performed today. This book offers you expert advice on a variety of endocrine surgical techniques, including laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures to help you expand your repertoire and hone your clinical skills. Full-color illustrations and photographs enhance visual guidance.

This book provides a visual demonstration of normal and ectopic locations of parathyroid adenomas using different modalities in patients with PHPT and to describe parathyroid gland–related pathology. It includes several modern imaging modalities for localization of parathyroid glands and parathyroid adenomas, such as Sestamibi scan, SPECT/CT Sestamibi scan, neck ultrasound, MRI, thin-cut CT, and 4D CT scans. Written by experts in the field, chapters include pathology images corresponding to radiology imaging for some presented cases (gross and high-power view). Authors have also collected radiological images of difficult-to-localize parathyroid adenomas in ectopic (abnormal) locations. The atlas is organized by location of the adenomas in upper and lower eutopic locations followed by ectopic locations. Each case demonstrates dual or triple modalities such as US, Sestamibi scan, or SPECT/CT Sestamibi scan, thin-cut CT scan, or 4D CT performed on the same patient. A chapter on parathyroid pathology is also included to help the reader understand challenges in pathological interpretation. Atlas of Parathyroid Imaging and Pathology serves as a valuable reference for radiologists, endocrine surgeons, head and neck surgeons, ENT surgeons, surgical oncologists, endocrinologists, pathologists, nephrologists, students, and all physicians and allayed health practitioners involved in the treatment of patients with primary, secondary, and tertiary hyperparathyroidism.

This surgical atlas illustrates the various successful thyroid surgery techniques of world-renowned surgeons. Some approaches presented include total thyroidectomy, right thyroid lobectomy, left thyroid lobectomy, minimally invasive approach to thyroidectomy, video-assisted approach to thyroidectomy, and endoscopic approaches, such as the transaxillary approach, bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA), and trans-oral thyroid surgery (TOEVA). The Atlas is intended for a broader audience than publications for other procedures since thyroidectomy is among the most common neck procedures. The Atlas of Thyroid Surgery will help all surgeons caring for patients with thyroid disease minimize complications and perform successful thyroidectomy.

This colour atlas is a concise guide to thyroid surgery, presented predominantly through pictures rather than text, helping to demonstrate surgical procedures in a step by step manner. The book covers numerous diseases and disorders of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, presenting the latest techniques and best practice, as well as practical suggestions on how to avoid surgical complications and how to manage them if they do arise. This highly useful, practical reference is richly illustrated with high quality images and intraoperative photographs. Key points Practical colour atlas illustrating latest techniques and best practice in thyroid surgery Covers most thyroid and parathyroid gland disorders and diseases Includes suggestions on how to avoid surgical complications Richly illustrated with intraoperative photographs and images

This book is a comprehensive guide to the complete field of endocrine surgery. Divided into four sections the book covers thyroid surgery, parathyroid surgery, adrenal surgery, and surgery for pancreatic and carcinoid tumours. Each section is further divided into surgery for different disorders within the relevant subspecialty. The text provides the latest information on new topics including ultrasound for thyroid nodules, robotic thyroidectomy, parathyroid autotransplantation, adrenal metastastectomy, and neuroendocrine tumours. Each topic is presented in step by step format, from indications and preoperative assessment, to surgical planning, instruments, surgical procedure, follow up, and complications. Techniques are illustrated by anatomical drawings and photographs, and each chapter features bullet points for quick reference. The atlas is authored by internationally recognised experts in the field of endocrinology, led by Sally Carty from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pennsylvania. The accompanying CD ROM demonstrates surgical procedures. Key Points Comprehensive guide to complete field of endocrine surgery Highly illustrated with anatomical drawings and photographs Internationally recognised editor and author team Includes CD ROM demonstrating surgical techniques

This comprehensive atlas covers various common and uncommon cases of parathyroid disorders encountered in the day to day radiological practice. It serves as an illustrative database with numerous state of the art images of the diverse imaging features of parathyroid nodules and their correlation with various other imaging modalities. The book includes videos as well. It covers the typical and atypical ultrasound features of parathyroid nodules, their color Doppler findings and Sestamibi correlation. Size of the nodules detected range from small sub-centimeter nodules measuring between 6-15 mm, where often the sestamibi scan is negative, and diagnostic ultrasound scan is quite vital in management of these cases. The larger nodules range in size to be even larger than the thyroid gland and completely compressing and displacing the thyroid gland, which often leads to a missed diagnosis on initial imaging. Chapters cover tips and tricks in scanning along with various pitfalls. Additionally, it covers parathyroid nodules diagnosed on ultrasound in Sestamibi negative cases, localization of additional parathyroid nodules and parathyroid carcinoma. It covers correlation with surgical findings and includes histopathology images where relevant. The book serves as a teaching tool for radiologists, ENT surgeons, head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, endocrinologists, nephrologists, gastroenterologists, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists involved in the management of parathyroid disorders.
