Description
Springer Primary Secondary and Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism Diagnostic and Therapeutic Updates 1st Editon 2015 Hardbound by Guido Gasparri, Michele Camandona, Nicola Palestini
This practice-oriented book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the history, surgical anatomy, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation and treatment of primary, secondary, and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The coverage is wide ranging, encompassing, for example, innovations in both medical and surgical treatment, current indications for parathyroidectomy, the role and performance of minimally invasive surgery, the value of intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring and guidance on reoperations. Individual chapters are devoted to particular conditions and disease settings, including multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1 and 2 and parathyroid carcinoma, with provision of information on genetic testing, clinical manifestations and therapy. All aspects of secondary hyperparathyroidism in predialysis and dialysis patients are discussed. The book is endorsed by the Italian Society of Surgery. It will be of great value for endocrine surgeons and endocrinologists and will also be of interest to specialists in internal medicine, nephrologists, urologists, gynecologists and radiologists. 1 History of parathyroids.- 2 Surgical anatomy of the parathyroid glands.- 3 Parathyroid hormone secretion and action.- 4 Etiology and pathogenesis of Primary hyperparathyroidism.- 5 Clinical manifestations of Primary Hyperparathyroidism.- 6 Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Primary Hyperparathyroidism.- 7 Management of Primary Hyperparathyroidism.- 8 Preoperative localization for parathyroid surgery in Primary and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism.- 9 Pathology of the parathyroid glands.- 10 Parathyroid exploration for Primary Hyperparathyroidism.- 11 Minimally invasive parathyroid surgery (MIP).- 12 Surgical technique in reoperations.- 13 Genetic syndromes associated with primary hyperparathyroidism.- 14 Parathyroid carcinoma.- 15 Hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy.- 16 Secondary hyperparathyroidism in adult predialysis and dialysis patients.- 17 Indications for parathyroidectomy in end-stage renal disease and after renal transplantation.- 18 Patient information in Primary and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism.
