PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the value of the intraoperative gamma probe and the efficacy of dual-phase Tc-99m sestamibi imaging in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
METHODS: Twenty-one patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were examined prospectively. Results of same-day dual-phase Tc-99m sestamibi scintigraphy and intraoperative gamma probe evaluations were compared with the intraoperative findings and histopathologic diagnoses. A 15-mm handheld gamma probe was used to measure gamma activity in the neck and upper mediastinum. Nuclear mapping by gamma probe showed a single quadrant of neck that emitted gamma radiation significantly greater than the other three quadrants, which correlated with the sestamibi scan.
RESULTS: Dual-phase Tc-99m sestamibi scintigraphy determined and localized parathyroid lesions in 20 patients (sensitivity, 94%). Of the 20 parathyroid lesions removed, 15 were located in normal positions, whereas five were explored in ectopic sites (one within the thyroid, one in the anterior mediastinum, one in a retrotracheal position, one in the carotid sheath, and one in the retroesophageal region). Although the index of thyroid nodules varied from 15.8% to 22.9%, the index for parathyroid lesions was 77.3% to 112.8%.
CONCLUSIONS: These results confirm that parathyroid lesions, especially at ectopic sites, can be treated successfully in shorter operative times with minimal complications with the help of the intraoperative gamma probe.
