Figure 1. Patient flowchart. Note: MWA: microwave ablation; PTX: parathyroidectomy; HPT: hyperparathyroidism; PHPT: primary hyperparathyroidism; SHPT: secondary hyperparathyroidism; RLN: recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Table 1. Complications and side effects in 87 HPT patients who underwent re-MWA.
Table 2. Comparison of complications between different groups.
Figure 2. Postoperative adhesion during hydrodissection. A 39-year-old patient with SHPT and a previous PTX history underwent hydrodissection using a 18G PTC needle (white arrowhead). Within the echoless isolation fluid, several cord-like hyperechoic bands (yellow arrows) were observed, pulling the SHPT lesion (white arrows) and the surrounding structures. Note: SHPT: secondary hyperparathyroidism; PTX: parathyroidectomy; CCA: common carotid artery; IJV: internal jugular vein.
