Abstract
Objective : The aim of this work was to study the effect of parathyroi-dectomy on patients with tertiary hy-perparathyroidism. Patients and methods : A total number of 10 patients with tertiary hy-perparathyroidism manifestations under went parathyroidctomy. where the patients with adenoma of parathyroid gland under went excision of adenoma or multiple adenomas, and patients with hyperplasia of parathyroid gland underwent total parathyroidec-tomy and implantation of a part of one parathyroid gland into the sternomas-toid muscle . Results : There were significant changes in clinical and laboratory values between pre- and post operative measures in both types of patients (adenoma and hyperplasia) where there were significant decrease in serum calcium, serum alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone (P.T.H.) and great changes in preoperative manifestations. Conclusion : From this study we can conclude that the optimal treatment of tertiary hyperparathyroidism is surgical excision of adenoma or adenomas , or total parathyroidecto-my and transplantation of a part of one gland into the sternomastoid
