Abstract
During the last three decades, the improved preoperative localization studies and the introduction in the clinical practice of intra-operative PTH (IO-PTH) assay led to the development of the targeted approaches to parathyroidectomy. The application of the endoscopic techniques to neck surgery during the late 1990s further contributed to the development of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy encompasses several techniques, including approaches that use the endoscope, such as video-assisted parathyroidectomy (MIVAP).
The video-assisted procedures have the advantages not only of the targeted approach but also of endoscopic magnification, with the theoretical lowered risk of complications because of better view of the neck structures (recurrent laryngeal nerve and parathyroid glands). MIVAP gained a large worldwide acceptance in different surgical settings, due to its reproducibility and its similarity with the conventional technique for the parathyroidectomy. In this chapter we describe the surgical technique, the indications, the results, and the advantages and disadvantages of MIVAP.
