Abstract
BackgroundWe present the initial outcomes of transoral robotic parathyroidectomy (TORP) using the transoral vestibular approach in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). MethodA retrospective case series analysis was performed on patients diagnosed with PHPT between October 2016 and July 2019 who underwent transoral robotic surgery for parathyroidectomy. ResultsThirteen patients (five males and eight females) successfully underwent TORP at our institution from October 2016 to July 2019. Eight patients underwent TORP alone, and five underwent TORP combined with transoral robotic thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma. No intra- or postoperative complications were observed. Serum levels of parathyroid hormone, total calcium, and ionized calcium decreased to normal postoperatively and continued to decrease during the follow-up period. ConclusionThis study suggests that TORP holds promise for the treatment of patients with PHPT with the advantages of the robotic procedure, including dynamic visualization and meticulous dissection.
