Abstract

Surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure still finds its place despite advances in dialysis and medical treatment. After a certain period of development, surgical management takes place on forms that are particularly symptomatic and resistant to medical treatment. The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical and biological effects of parathyroidectomy and to correlate the results with a questionnaire on the quality of life. Through a retrospective study of 32 patients, operated over a period of 10 years in the Department of Surgery "A" of Ibn Sina Hospital in Rabat. We evaluated the clinical and biological effects of parathyroidectomy at the 3-year followup. The gesture achieved consists of parathyroidectomy 7/8e in the majority of cases after research and identification of the parathyroid glands. Postoperative hypocalcaemia was present in 22 cases (68.75%), and was symptomatic in 04 cases. Medium and long-term outcomes were satisfactory for the majority of patients clinically and biologically. The clinical improvement evaluated by a PAS (Parathyroidectomy Assessment of Symptoms) questionnaire before and one year after parathyroidectomy was statistically significant. Biologically, hematocrit improvement, decreased parathyroid hormone and alkaline phosphatase were statistically significant between 3 months and 3 years after parathyroidectomy.
