Abstract
Objective

To compare the pre-operative and post-operative clinical symptoms in patients diagnosed as having hyperparathyroidism and given surgical treatment, in order to prove the existence of statistically significant improvement.

Material and method

We report here a retrospective study performed on 120 consecutive patients operated on following diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism between 1990 and 2003.

Results

Nephrolithiasis, generalized bone pain, and HBP were the most common clinical manifestations. Primary hyperparathyroidisms represented 76.7%, while secondary ones were 20.8%, and 2.5% were tertiary. We carried out 85 adenoma removals, 30 sub-total, and 5 total parathyroidectomies. We only encountered one case of recurrent palsy and about 25% of hypocalcemias (2 of them permanent). Osteoarticular pathology and nephrolithiasis suffered by our patients clearly improved after surgery (P<.01) after 2 years of follow-up. There was no significant improvement in HBP, digestive and psychiatric pathology, or pruritus.

Conclusions

The improvement in quality of life for most of the patients operated on for this condition amply justifies parathyroidectomy by an experienced otolaryngology team.

Resumen
Objetivo

Comparar los síntomas clínicos preoperatorios y postoperatorios en pacientes diagnosticados de hiperparatiroidismo y sometidos a tratamiento quirúrgico, para comprobar si se produce mejoría estadísticamente significativa.

Material y método

Estudio retrospectivo realizado sobre 120 pacientes consecutivos intervenidos con diagnóstico de hiperparatiroidismo entre 1990 y 2003.

Resultados

La litiasis renal, los dolores óseos generalizados y la hipertensión fueron las manifestaciones clínicas más frecuentes. El 76,7% eran hiperparatiroidismos primarios; el 20,8%, secundarios y el 2,5%, terciarios. Se practicaron 85 resecciones de adenoma, 30 paratiroidectomías subtotales y 5 paratiroidectomías totales. Sólo hemos constatado 1 caso de parálisis recurrencial y un 25% de hipocalcemias (2 definitivas). Mejoraron significativamente tras la cirugía (p <0,01) la afección osteoarticular y la litiasis renal que presentaban los pacientes tras 2 años de seguimiento. No mejoraron de forma significativa la hipertensión, las enfermedades digestivas y psiquiátricas y el prurito.

Conclusiones

La mejoría en la calidad de vida de la mayoría de los pacientes operados por esta enfermedad justifica sobradamente la paratiroidectomía por un equipo otorrinolaringológico experimentado.
