This technique called Subtotal Parathyroidectomy and Remnant Relocation (SPARE) retains all the metabolic advantages of the conventional operation with the\u00a0added advantage of easier identification of a recurrent hyperplastic remnant if re-exploration becomes necessary. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> In the SPARE technique, four parathyroid glands were identified and the quality of each gland and the length of each vascular pedicle to the parathyroid glands were assessed. The optimal parathyroid gland was relocated to a plane superficial to the strap muscles. The remainder of the glands were removed. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> In total, 30 patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to renal failure (HSRF) underwent parathyroidectomy with the SPARE technique. The mean age was 53.1\u00b112.5\u00a0years and median follow-up was 17.1\u00a0months (range 1-78.9\u00a0months). There were no recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injuries or hematomas. The pre- and post-operative value for corrected calcium and PTH were 158.4\u00b1109.4\u00a0pmol\/L and 11.4\u00b112.1\u00a0pmol\/L, respectively ( p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). Three recurrences were noted (10.0%), with a mean time to recurrence of 15.3\u00b16.6\u00a0months. One patient had excision of the remnant parathyroid glands performed under local anaesthetic (29\u00a0min); one had re-exploration performed under general anaesthetic (81\u00a0min), and one was managed medically. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> We described a novel parathyroidectomy technique for patients with HSRF, which provides the advantages of conventional subtotal parathyroidectomy while mitigating the challenges of thyroid bed re-exploration when recurrences arise. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40463-017-0238-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,23]],"date-time":"2017-10-23T18:53:02Z","timestamp":1508784782000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Subtotal Parathyroidectomy and Relocation of the Parathyroid Remnant for Renal Hyperparathyroidism: Modification of a traditional operation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Tsu-Hui (Hubert)","family":"Low","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Head and Neck Department, Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, Missenden Road, Camperdown, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, London Health Sciences Centre, Schulich School of Medicine& Dentistry, Western University, 800 Commissioners Road East, Suite B3-433A, N6A 5W9, London, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-011-1833-2"},{"key":"bibr2-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-009-9943-3"},{"key":"bibr3-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-2388(199703\/04)13:2<78::AID-SSU3>3.0.CO;2-Z"},{"key":"bibr4-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1774-9987.2005.00213.x"},{"key":"bibr5-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5301\/jn.5000056"},{"key":"bibr6-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surg.2013.08.013"},{"key":"bibr7-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1445-2197.2009.04893.x"},{"key":"bibr8-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4614-2164-1_10"},{"key":"bibr9-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-016-3423-3"},{"key":"bibr10-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.21220"},{"key":"bibr11-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1507\/endocrj.EJ11-0053"},{"key":"bibr12-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surg.2005.08.036"},{"key":"bibr13-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000073014"},{"key":"bibr14-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0068870"},{"key":"bibr15-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-011-1776-7"},{"key":"bibr16-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.2004.026450"},{"key":"bibr17-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.294.6574.743"},{"key":"bibr18-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjsurg.2008.08.017"},{"key":"bibr19-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-008-9765-8"},{"key":"bibr20-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.143.8.756"},{"key":"bibr21-s40463-017-0238-7","first-page":"382","volume":"41","author":"Nicholson ML","year":"1996","journal-title":"J R Coll Surg Edinb"},{"key":"bibr22-s40463-017-0238-7","first-page":"379","volume":"33","author":"Conzo G","year":"2012","journal-title":"G Chir"},{"key":"bibr23-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.1989.138"},{"key":"bibr24-s40463-017-0238-7","first-page":"3","volume":"17","author":"Cozzolino M","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Nephrol"},{"key":"bibr25-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000326683"},{"key":"bibr26-s40463-017-0238-7","first-page":"271","volume":"43","author":"Butterworth PC","year":"1998","journal-title":"J R Coll Surg Edinb"},{"key":"bibr27-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-011-1079-6"},{"key":"bibr28-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-012-1560-x"},{"key":"bibr29-s40463-017-0238-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01665309"}],"container-title":["Journal of Otolaryngology - Head &amp;
