Relationship of Preoperative PTH and Ex-Vivo Gamma Counts in Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy
The intent for this study is to do a retrospective chart review of all patients who have
undergone minimally invasive parathyroidectomy for primary hyperthyroidism. All data
collected will be recorded under assigned identification numbers that will have no
association with medical record or hospital numbers. Identifying characteristics will include
age and sex. Anonymity will be upheld. The patient/family will not be contacted directly. All
information will be obtained from the medical chart. Demographics, location, preoperative PTH
levels and intraoperative Ex-Vivo gamma counts, co-morbid conditions, and the outcome based
on the hospital notes will be obtained from patients' charts and will be transferred to a
secure database. It is our hypothesis that there is a linear relationship between immediate
preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and Ex-Vivo gamma counts and the aim of this
study is to better describe this relationship.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must be between the ages of 18 and 90 years old who have documented primary
hyperparathyroidism and have undergone minimally invasive parathyroidectomy.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have not had both intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and
Gamma counts during their parathyroidectomy
- Patients who have parathyroidectomies for reasons other than primary
hyperparathyroidism.
