Could you please ask him if he knows of a surgeon doing this in Dallas (or Houston, I guess)?Originally Posted by Pookie-poo
One of the surgeons that I work with, is a member of the AAES. He does three or four minimally invasive parathyroidectomies a month. He uses intraoperative nerve monitoring for every case, and has not experienced any problems with post-op nerve damage. He also does intraoperative blood draws to monitor serum calcium levels, and circulating levels of intact PTH, which helps determine which glands are suspect.
