thyroid. The elements of the carotid sheath are then retracted laterally away from the thyroid. A critical maneuver in parathyroid exploration is exposure and palpa­tion of the prevertebral space that lies posterior to the esophagus.
Normal parathyroid glands are yellow-tan in color. They are typically 5mm in diameter, attened or discoid in shape, and weigh between 30 and 50mg. They are generally housed in a thin fatty envelope, giving them a classic “fried egg” appear­ance. Open exploration begins with interrogation of the superior parathyroid terri­tory. Because of their shorter path of embryologic migration, the superior parathyroids are more consistent in their location than the inferior parathyroids, with the majority located within a 1.5cm radius of the tubercle of Zuckerkandl, a postero-lateral prominence of the thyroid gland. Other important nearby structures include the terminus of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, arborization of the inferior thyroid artery, and the cricoid cartilage (Fig.3).
As superior parathyroid adenomas enlarge, they often slide inferiorly along the paraesophageal space. By denition, the superior parathyroids are located postero­laterally to the plane of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (Fig.4).
Though routine identication of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is not considered mandatory during parathyroid exploration, the surgeon must be extremely wary of avoiding nerve injury while operating near the superior parathyroids. A small frac­tion of parathyroid glands lie partially or completely embedded in the thyroid gland parenchyma; these may be either superior or inferior parathyroids.
The inferior parathyroid glands are located anteromedially to the plane of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (Fig.4). The territory of the inferior parathyroid is rela­tively large, ranging from the superior pole of the thyroid to the anterior mediasti­num. The majority of inferior parathyroid glands lie on the surface of the inferior

pole of the thyroid, often near the inferior pole veins that demarcate the top of the thyrothymic tract. Inferior parathyroid adenomas can frequently be found by fol­lowing the thyrothymic tract down into the chest. Ectopic inferior parathyroids are most commonly located in the thymus, and can almost always be removed transcervically.
If three glands appear normal and one gland is enlarged, the diagnosis is a single parathyroid adenoma. The safest method of dissecting out a parathyroid adenoma is to start away from the vascular pedicle, mobilizing the lateral and inferior aspects while avoiding violation of the gland capsule. The vascular pedicle is isolated last and ligated. After irrigation and hemostasis, the strap muscles and platysma are reapproximated. The skin is then closed in a subcuticular fashion.
If a four-gland exploration reveals hyperplasia (four enlarged glands), a subtotal parathyroidectomy is generally performed. This involves complete removal of the three most abnormal-appearing glands and partial resection of the fourth gland, leaving 40–50mg of normal appearing tissue on an intact vascular pedicle. The partial resection of the remnant should be performed before dissecting out the other glands in case it becomes devascularized, and another remnant needs to be left behind instead.
4.2 Unilateral andSelective/Targeted Exploration
Unilateral exploration involves an exploration of one side of the neck with identi­cation of an ipsilateral normal gland to rule out four gland hyperplasia, whereas a selective or targeted exploration uses an image-guided approach, typically with a small incision measuring 2.5cm or less, and removal of a single parathyroid ade­noma without identication of the ipsilateral normal gland. Frequently, intraopera­tive parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) monitoring is used to conrm completeness of

resection and other adjuncts such as intraoperative gamma probes can be utilized. A unilateral exploration occurs in a similar manner to the bilateral neck exploration and is typically performed through a central incision. Preoperative imaging typi­cally identies a single adenoma and after excision of the adenoma, the ipsilateral parathyroid is examined to determine if there is suspicion of hypercellularity. A selective exploration can be performed through a central incision or a lateral inci­sion and typically the incision is 2.0–2.5cm. With a lateral mini-incision approach, the incision is placed directly over the parathyroid adenoma using ultrasound guid­ance, and provides the most direct exposure of the parathyroid-bearing regions. The incision site is placed directly over the parathyroid adenoma using ultrasound guid­ance. Alternatively, placement of the incision approximately 5mm inferior to the cricoid cartilage will typically offer adequate exposure. A 2cm transverse incision is placed along a skin crease, centered over the anterior border of the sternocleido­mastoid muscle. Small subplatysmal aps are created. The sternocleidomastoid muscle is retracted laterally and the strap muscles are retracted medially. The thy­roid is rotated anteriomedially and the carotid sheath elements retracted laterally. After identication of the abnormal gland, dissection proceeds as in open explora­tion. At the surgeon’s preference, exploration of the territory of the non-excised ipsilateral gland can be undertaken at this point to evaluate for multiple gland disease.
4.3 IOPTH Monitoring
IOPTH monitoring is used to conrm complete removal of hyperfunctioning para­thyroid tissue during limited exploration. Fall of the 10 min post-excision PTH value to less than 50% of the highest pre-excision value is highly predictive of long- term cure [6]. This can be used in both single parathyroid adenoma’s and multigland disease [7]. Failure to meet this criterion may prompt the surgeon to convert to bilateral neck exploration.
4.4 Radioguided Parathyroid Surgery
The technique of radioguided parathyroid surgery involves the preoperative intrave­nous injection of counts from parathyroid glands utilizing an intraoperative gamma probe. A 10mCI dose of
99m
prior to surgery. Intraoperatively, the gamma probe is used to measure a background count from the thyroid isthmus. Once the abnormal parathyroid gland(s) are resected, the specimen is placed on top of the gamma probe to obtain an “ex-vivo count”, and a count greater than or equal to 20% of the background is consistent

The image on the right demonstrates the 20% rule with 471 as the background count and anything greater than or equal to 20% of the background count is conrmatory of abnor­mal parathyroid tissue. Adenomas generally have much higher counts than hyperplastic parathy­roid glands such as in this specimen that is 200% the background count

with abnormal parathyroid tissue. Typically single parathyroid adenoma’s have background counts that are signicantly higher than hyperplastic parathyroid tissue (>200% of the background count) [8] (Fig.5).
4.5 Is Four-Gland Exploration or Limited
Exploration Preferred?
The relative merits of four-gland exploration and limited exploration have been debated for many years and both come with their own advantages and disadvantages without clear evidence for superiority of one technique over the other [9]. Four­gland exploration allows for identication of all parathyroid glands, may lead to discovery of occult multigland disease, and permits conclusion of the case without IOPTH monitoring. Its disadvantages include increased operative time, placing two recurrent laryngeal nerves at risk, and the theoretical risk of permanent hypopara­thyroidism. Unilateral or selective/targeted exploration is generally faster and involves fewer risks; however, it generally requires waiting for an IOPTH result and may, in the opinion of some authors, lead to a slightly higher rate of operative failure

from missed multiple gland disease. The most reliable predictor of successful para­thyroid surgery is surgeon experience and surgeons who perform parathyroid sur­gery should be comfortable with both techniques and be able to adapt to each individual case [10]. In thinking of educating the next generation of surgeons, it is important for both techniques to be taught to trainees [11].
5 Post-Operative Care
Parathyroid surgery is now typically performed as an outpatient procedure with same-day discharge in appropriately selected patients. Postoperative complications following parathyroidectomy are uncommon and symptoms of postoperative hypo­calcemia can be prophylactically treated with oral calcium supplementation. Same­day discharge has been shown to be safe in both selective and bilateral neck explorations without differences in complications [12]. Hematoma occurs in approximately 0.1% of patients, and requires emergent reexploration. Post-operative hypocalcemia may occur due to either iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism after four gland manipulation or, more commonly, high-turnover bone disease and suppres­sion of remaining parathyroid tissue in patients with biochemically severe disease. Symptoms should be assessed and treated with supplemental calcium as needed. Permanent hypoparathyroidism is only a risk for patients undergoing bilateral neck exploration and should occur in <1% of patients. The rate of permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis is 1% or less in expert hands. The most common complica­tion of parathyroid exploration is operative failure (persistent hyperparathyroidism), dened as hypercalcemia occurring within 6months of operation. These patients require reoperation. The overall frequency of operative failure ranges from 2% in expert centers to 20% or more in low-volume centers [13].

Open Adrenalectomy

1 Indications
The three predominant indications for an open approach are:
• Primary adrenal malignancy
• Large tumor size or evidence of local invasion
• Conversion from a laparoscopic approach
Despite the evolution and increasing application of minimally invasive techniques, the utilization of the open approach to adrenalectomy has remained relatively stable over the last 15years, and represents approximately 15% of adrenalectomies in our practice at a tertiary referral center, predominantly for primary and secondary adre­nal malignancy, phaeochromocytoma, and large benign tumors >10–12cm [1].
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive tumor that is often advanced at presentation. In cases of non-metastatic disease, the major determinant of long­term survival is adequate surgical resection, respecting the oncologic principles of complete resection without violation of the tumor capsule. Therefore, it is impera­tive that these patients are managed in high-volume centers by experienced sur­geons. Even in experienced hands, the rates of R1 resection, intraoperative tumor spillage, time to tumor bed or peritoneal recurrence and overall survival are signi­cantly worse for a laparoscopic compared to an open approach [2]. In our experi­ence, avoiding capsular breach during manipulation of a large tumor is challenging when attempted laparoscopically, especially when elevating it from the adrenal bed,

or achieving the necessary retraction to dissect major vascular structures from the tumor. For this reason, we opt for an open approach in the management of ACC, in concordance with current guidelines [3].
The multidisciplinary work-up of an adrenal lesion prior to surgery is of para­mount importance. With appropriate use of high resolution CT-scan and PET scans, potential intraoperative challenges can be anticipated. For example, the need for en-bloc resection of adjacent organs or vasculature is predictable base on imaging, and hence should be planned for, rather than coming as a surprise intraoperatively [4]. If local invasion or vascular involvement is suspected, contrast-enhanced MRI is the preferred imaging modality to conrm the diagnosis [5]. In our experience, the need for unexpected conversion to open surgery is rare, and is usually conned to the situations of intraoperative bleeding that cannot be controlled laparoscopi­cally, inability to safely progress in the dissection of large tumors, or patient factors such as obesity or inability to tolerate pneumoperitoneum.

2 Preoperative Preparation
The details of the pre-operative work-up are beyond the scope of this chapter. A thorough understanding of the relevant endocrine pathophysiology is essential in the interpretation of the screening and diagnostic tests, and it is crucial that nature and severity of autonomous function is dened prior to surgical management. Depending on the pathology, the patient may have profound uid and electrolyte imbalance, or hemodynamic abnormalities. A full preoperative workup for Cushing’s syndrome, hyperaldosteronism and pheochromocytoma is described in detail by Kebebew in a recent review article [6]. The secretion of multiple hor­mones, particularly the combination of cortisol and androgens, is one of the hall­marks of ACC, and is an adverse prognostic factor [7].
At induction, it is our practice to administer chemical DVT prophylaxis. Pneumatic calf compressors are applied and an indwelling bladder catheter is placed. In patients with autonomous cortisol secretion, stress steroid dosing is initi­ated. In symptomatic pheochromocytoma, it is our practice to routinely prepare these patients with pre-operative alpha blockade, and this is ceased on the day of surgery.
3 Surgical Approach
The anterior transperitoneal approach to the adrenal allows extensive exposure and provides options for vascular control. We prefer a subcostal incision to a midline incision, as it provides better access to the superolateral aspects of the surgical eld. This can also be extended across midline, or combined with a midline incision if

required. Rarely, it may be combined with a sternotomy to allow cardiopulmonary bypass for excision of extensive tumor thrombus. The posterior open approach affords less exposure. Historically, it was indicated in patients with smaller, local­ized tumors, however these patients are now treated with minimally invasive techniques.
3.1 Patient Positioning
The patient is placed supine on the operating table on a bean-bag with a lateral wedge on the side of the pathology. A more pronounced lateral decubitus position (Fig.1) can be utilized based on surgeon preference. The costal margin is marked, as well as the planned incision two nger-breadths inferior to this. The operating table is then exed to accentuate the space between the costal margin and the iliac crest. Once appropriately positioned, the bean-bag is connected to suction and the patient is strapped to the operating table at multiple points.
4 Description ofProcedure
The specic anatomical considerations differ for right- and left-sided tumors. Below we describe the specic approach to each side, adhering to the following general considerations:
• The importance of an R0 resection cannot be overstated and therefore preserving
the integrity of the tumor capsule is of paramount importance.
• If large adrenal tumors are invasive, they typically involve retroperitoneal struc-
tures, and are usually contained anteriorly by Gerota’s fascia.
