ischemia in the graft-bearing arm compared with the nongraft-bearing arm [95, 96].
Intraoperative Localization
1. Methylene blue: Abnormal parathyroid glands take up blue stain when a preoperative infusion of methylene blue (5 mg/kg in 5% Dextrose) is given one hour before surgery [97]. However recent reports because reports suggest that methylene blue can precipitate serotonin toxicity in patients taking selective serotonin uptake inhibitors [98] and cause tem­porary adverse effects on the central nervous system.
2. Intraoperative MIBI: Intraoperative sesta­mibi scanning in reoperative surgery is reported better than preoperative scanning with sensitiv­ity of up to 91% [99, 100].
3. Intraoperative bilateral jugular vein sampling for PTH: Venous sampling from both internal jugular veins for PTH at the start of an exploration is particularly useful when localization studies have not shown any abnormality [101]. Differential elevation of the PTH level will indicate the side of the neck where hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland is likely to be found, this side should be explored first.
Generally, localization studies should begin with USS and MIBI, if these are negative or nonconcordant; selection of further tests as mentioned above will be directed by the sus­pected location of the abnormal parathyroid gland/s. Invasive tests should be performed selectively, when noninvasive test is negative.
Reoperative Surgery
Reoperation should be exclusively performed by an experienced endocrine surgeon, and fro­zen section pathology, reporting to confirm parathyroid tissue, and intraoperative PTH assay, to confirm biochemical cure, should be available [102].
In ideal circumstances localization studies will have provided sufficient information to guide a planned unilateral/bilateral cervical or mediast­inal exploration. There are however cases when localization test is negative and bilateral cervical exploration is therefore mandatory.
The surgeon should obtain informed con­sent from the patient regarding the proposed intervention, taking time to reexplain the indications and implications of reoperative surgery, including the details of risks and complications (bleeding, temporary or per­manent damage to the RLN/s with risk of tracheostomy, failure to achieve cure, and hypoparathyroidism).
Adequate planning should include allowance for prolonged operating time, and if required, the availability of a surgeon to assist with sternotomy.
Operative Strategy
The strategy in reoperative PHPT is as follows:
a) Perform localization directed cervical and/or
mediastinal exploration. b) Excise abnormal parathyroid gland/s. c) Perform additional procedures such as
thymectomy in patients with multiglandular
disease and or autotransplantation or cryo-
preservation of parathyroid tissue in RHPT/
MEN.
d) Confirm successful identification of para-
thyroid tissue with frozen section and con-
firm biochemical cure with intraoperative
PTH. e) Minimize operative complications such as
damage to recurrent the laryngeal nerve/s
and hypoparathyroidism.
Positive Localization
The operative strategy will of course be influ­enced by the surgical and pathological findings at initial surgery as well as the results of subse­quent localization studies. When the latter have identified the ‘expected’ abnormal parathyroid gland/s as
1. Single gland disease: Unilateral neck exploration is the operation of choice [103]. The techniques of first time unilateral neck exploration can be equally applied to reopera­tive parathyroid surgery. A lateral incision or conventional cervicotomy skin incision can be used. A lateral approach obviates the need for dissection through midline scar tis­sue, the plane between the medial border of the sternomastoid muscle at the level of the thyroid gland and the lateral border of the

strap muscles is developed. The strap muscles and thyroid gland are retracted medially and the plane deepened until one can see and pal­pate the vertebral column posteriorly and the esophagus medially. The inferior thyroid artery and RLN should be identified. This procedure can be carried out under local or general anesthesia.
2. Multiglandular disease:Whenpreoperative localization studies are positive for multigland­ular disease or multiglandular enlargement is suspected – hyperplasia was identified on his­tology from tissue excised at a previous opera­tion; assessment of all residual parathyroid tissue is required. A systematic approach should be used to guide the surgeon to the parathyroid glands [104]. The surgical options include exci­sion of abnormal gland/s in case of multiple adenomas, and subtotal parathyroidectomy or total parathyroidectomy with or without autotransplantation when the diagnosis is hyperplasia/MEN.
In patients with multiglandular disease, cervical thymectomy should be carried out in addition to parathyroidectomy.
3. Mediastinal parathyroid gland:Mediastinal exploration should only be performed when there is evidence from localization studies that the hyperfunctioning gland is in the mediasti­num. In our center, mediastinal exploration is not undertaken without positive preoperative localization.
The mediastinum can be explored via a par­tial or complete sternotomy, or a thoracoscopic approach can be employed if available, appro­priate, and feasible. Mediastinal parathyroids that are located at the level of the innominate vein in the anterior superior mediastinum may be retrievable via a cervical approach, but if necessary can be removed using a partial sternotomy. Parathyroid glands that are low in the anterior mediastinum or in the middle mediastinum require a complete sternotomy. The potential complications and morbidity associated with open sternotomy may be reduced by the thoracoscopic approach, but this has not been widely accepted as standard treatment [105–110]. The UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) issued guidance in December 2007 which con­firmed that there is limited evidence to support the efficacy of thoracoscopic excision of med­iastinal parathyroid lesions [111].
Negative preoperative Localization
The surgeon should have a clear plan prior to the intervention as to the means by which the abnormal parathyroid will be identified, e.g., if two normal glands were found on one side of the neck at the initial operation it is reasonable to explore the contralateral side first. If an enlarged parathyroid gland is found and excised and a fall in PTH confirms cure, the operation is terminated. If ‘cure’ is not confirmed then the exploration is continued, if necessary exploring both sides of the neck until biochemical cure is confirmed.
Cryopreservation of parathyroid tissue for future transplantation [112] or autotransplanta­tion of parathyroid tissue should be considered in patients having total parathyroidectomy.
If exploration is negative, a thyroid lobectomy on the side of suspicion should be considered to remove suspected/unidentified intrathyroidal parathyroid lesions.
Hyperfunctioning Parathyroid Autograft
Patients with confirmed hyperfunctioning forearm autograft require excision of hyper­functioning graft tissue and lifelong calcium replacement therapy.
Parathyromatosis
Removal of all abnormal parathyroid tissue/ scattered nodules in the neck should be attempted. Parathyromatosis may be difficult to diagnose preoperatively and although color Doppler sonography can easily identify scattered deep and superficial hypoechoic, hypervascular lesions, they do not conform to typical anatomic locations of parathyroid glands [54]. Although a rare cause of recurrent RHPT control of the disease with surgical resection has been reported [53, 113].
Angiographic Ablation
Angiographic ablation is a nonsurgical alterna­tive to standard mediastinal exploration that involves injection of ionic contrast material or alcohol into a previously identified arterial vessel feeding the abnormal parathyroid

gland [114]. The hyperosmolar contrast material transudes into the interstitial spaces of the parathyroid and leads to ischemic insult and destruction of the gland. Angiographic ablation can be used in patients who are poor surgical candidates; however, experience with this technique is limited and the failure rate is as high as 40%, and tissue for histology cannot be obtained [115].
Patients who are unfit to have any form of surgical or interventional radiological proce­dure can be treated with medical therapy with biphosphonates and calcimimetics. Cinacalcet has been used successfully to lower PTH in recurrent RHPT [57, 59].
Success rates in seven published series of parathyroid reoperations for PHPT between 1977 and 2006 are 82–98%, with multiglandular disease identified in 37–73% of cases. The inci­dence of RLN injury varies between 0 and 2.7% and permanent hypocalcemia rates of 1–18% [40, 60, 77, 81, 116-118] (Table 21.3). A high number of missed glands wre found in eutopic sites [10, 81, 116–124].
Summary
The chances of cure are highest at the first operation, and it is therefore important to ‘get it right the first time’ [6]. Parathyroid surgeons should be familiar with the operative algorithm when an abnormality is not found at initial parathyroid exploration [104]. Confirmation of the biochemical diagnosis of HPT, examination
of initial parathyroid localization studies, in conjunction with review of the operative find­ings and pathological examination of tissue removed at initial surgery are the initial key steps in the evaluation of a patient with recur­rent/persistent HPT.
Further localization studies should be car-
ried out if there are indications for reoperation.
The indications, risks, and benefits of reo­peration should be weighed carefully against the patient’s comorbidity.
Reoperation can be targeted to remove abnormal gland/s when localization tests are positive but more extensive exploration may be necessary if localization tests are negative or there is suspicion of multiglandular disease.
At surgery, the removal of all hyperfunction­ing parathyroid tissue should be confirmed with frozen section and intraoperative PTH.
Reoperative parathyroid surgery can be a technically demanding procedure and should be undertaken by experienced endocrine surgi­cal teams to maximize the rate of success [74].

Management of Secondary and Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism

Jui-Yu Chen, Ling-Ming Tseng and Chen-Hsen Lee
Introduction
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is a condition that occurs when external factors stimulate the parathyroid glands to increase the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), and develop mostly hyperplasia and/or ade­nomas of the parathyroid. The most common external factor is chronic renal failure (CRF) (i.e., renal hyperparathyroidism) [1]. Renal hyperparathyroidism could cause osteitis fibrosa, and other varieties of extra-osseous manifestations. Some consequences would bring patient poor life quality and even mor­tality [2].
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (tHPT) is a state of autonomic excessive secretion of PTH developing from the secondary hyperplasia that occurs despite after restoration of renal func­tion by dialysis or kidney transplantation [3]. tHPT is not a common disease process in the kidney transplant population, but it can cause damage of graft function that is not easily detected.
Pathogenesis
The major factors in the pathogenesis of sHPT consist of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, reduced 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-[OH] 2D3, calcitriol) production, altered PTH
metabolism, skeletal resistance to PTH, and changed set-point in PTH production.
Before Kidney Transplantation
Hypocalcemia, resulting from phosphorus retention [4] and reduced calcitriol synthesis [5], has been regarded as the classic cause of sHPT. Besides, phosphorus retention directly promotes PTH synthesis and secretion [6]. Diet­ary phosphate load is found to affect the para­thyroid cell cycle [7] and the responsiveness of parathyroid cells to extracellular Ca tration. The resistance of bone to PTH also plays a part in the pathogenesis of sHPT due to low level of calcitriol, phosphate retention, and downregulation of PTH bone receptors [8].
The PTH set point is dependent on the serum calcium concentration which can decrease the maximal PTH level by 50%. In uremic patient, there is a shift in the PTH set point rendering the parathyroid insensitive to the suppressive effects of calcium [9], and excessive PTH is secreted without moderate control mechanism. A novel phosphaturic hormone, fibroblast growth factor­23 had been reported to be implicated in the pathogenesis of renal osteodystrophy (ROD) [10]. The decreased responsiveness of parathyr­oid glands to vitamin D is also found in the pathogenesis of sHPT. It could in part be explained by the reduced vitamin D receptor (VDR) [11] and reduced calcium-sensing recep­tor (CaSR) expression in the patients [11, 12].

ENDOCRINE SURGERY
After Kidney Transplantation
sHPT usually regresses after successful kidney transplantation due to the reversion of abnorm­alities in mineral metabolism attributing to parathyroid proliferation. Continuous hyper­function of hyperplastic parathyroid glands is the main reason for hypercalcemia after kidney transplantation. Parathyroid autonomy, slow involution of parathyroid glands, nonsuppres­sible PTH secretion, abnormal PTH set point, and insufficient calcitriol secretion are impor­tant factors that may prevent the involution of the hyperplastic parathyroid gland even with a well-functioning kidney transplant.[13, 14, 15] The prevalence of persistent sHPT after kidney transplantation is seen in approximately
8.5–53% [13, 14]. Only few required operative reduction of parathyroid gland mass as a defi­nitive treatment.
Clinical Manifestations
Classical clinical manifestations of sHPT consist of many varieties of skeletal and nonskeletal complications. ROD includes either osteitis fibrosa or mixed uremic bone-type disease, and nonskeletal toxicity includes the metastatic calcifications and skin lesions due to the distur­bance of PTH and mineral metabolism.
Skeletal Disease
reduced bone mass, increased nonlamellar bone, osteopenia, and fractures [17] (Fig. 22.1). A con- sequence of this is the release of calcium and phosphorus into the systemic circulation. In addition to the bone manifestation, ongoing absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract during treatment with calcium-based drugs would lead to the propensity for metastatic calci­fication in soft tissues.
After the long-term use of aluminum-based phosphorus-binding agents, uremic patients would present with adynamic bone disease or osteomalacia [18]. Aluminum is absorbed by the intestines and rapidly transported into bones. Under those circumstances, aluminum accumulates in the mineralization front and prevents osteoid mineralization. Fortunately, the incidence of aluminum toxicity has been decreased because of the use of water purifica­tion for dialysate solutions and absence of alu­minum in phosphate-binding agents.
Diagnosis of Uremic Osteodystrophy
Patients with high-turnover hyperparathyroid bone disease and low-turnover aluminum­associated bone disease display similar clinical and laboratory features. A misdiagnosis of ostei­tis fibrosa could lead to the decision of parathyr­oidectomy, and then worsen the bone condition of truly aluminum-related low-turnover bone disease [19]. It is important to differentiate these different conditions, and bone biopsies remain the most rational approach.
ROD-inducing bone loss remains the major cause of morbidity in uremic patients [16] and occurs as a consequence of bone-remodeling dysregulation. The severity varies and com­prises pain, deformities to fractures. Bone pain is usually located at the lower back, hips, and legs while fractures commonly occur in long bones, vertebras, and ribs. The deformity man­ifestation arises mainly from vertebral fractures leading to kyphosis and lumbar scoliosis. Short­ening of body height is usually a result of com­pression fractures of the vertebras.
Elevated levels of PTH would stimulate bone demineralization and lead to high bone turn­over characterized by an enhanced number and activity of osteoclasts, resulting in increasing bone resorption. The classical histological pathology is osteitis fibrosa accompanied with
Extraskeletal Disease (Tissue Calcification)
There are two types of tissue calcification: meta­static and dystrophic calcification. Metastatic calcification occurs when calcium salt deposits in normal tissue whereas dystrophic calcifica­tion occurs in previously damaged tissue [20]. There are three major types of extra-skeletal calcification: visceral, periarticular, and vascu­lar calcification. Visceral calcification includes lungs, myocardium, mitral valve, kidney, skele­tal muscle, breast, and stomach. Periarticular calcification manifests as calcific periarthritis, and small-joint effusions. Vascular calcification involves small and large vessels, and calcifica­tion of penile artery may induce impotency.

Cardiovascular Problems
Elevated PTH has been shown to exacerbate changes in cardiovascular structure and func­tion. It is contributory to the high cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality rates in uremic patients [21]. Besides, prolonged exposure to elevated PTH has been linked to high arterial blood pres­sure [22] and increasing levels of intracellular calcium attributes to the underlying mechanism.
