Abstract

Abstract Primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid adenoma is managed surgically so far. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the parathyroid gland is a new modality which is gradually replacing open neck surgery. RFA is done as a bedside procedure in less than 30 min, with no scar, post-operative management, etc. In addition, it has a major advantage for patients who are not fit for anaesthesia, other comorbidities and critically ill patients. We report a case of parathyroid adenoma successfully ablated using radiofrequency in a critically ill patient with comorbidities.
