- BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported on the use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) measurements during parathyroidectomy (PTX) for renal hyperparathyroidism (rHPT), but there is no consensus on whether it is helpful and, if so, what protocol should be used. Therefore, the literature was systematically reviewed to assess a correlation between ioPTH and early postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in patients undergoing PTX for rHPT, separately for those on dialysis and those with a functioning renal transplant. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed in electronic databases. Quality assessment was performed using the Quality In Prognosis Studies tool. Mean ioPTH values were calculated at different time points and correlated to the postoperative PTH levels within 1 month. Fixed-effect and random-effects models were performed to assess the mean ioPTH levels at 10 or 20 min after resection (T10 and T20). Stratified analyses were performed for patients on dialysis and those with a functioning renal transplant. RESULTS: Of the 3087 records screened, 14 studies were included, including some 1177 patients; 1091 were on dialysis and 86 had a functioning kidney transplant. Risk of bias was moderate for most studies. For patients on dialysis, T10 and T20 mean ioPTH levels were 32.1 (95 per cent c.i. 24.3 to 39.9) pmol/l and 15.4 (95 per cent c.i. 7.8 to 22.9) pmol/l) in the random effects meta-analysis. Between individual studies, ioPTH ranged from 4.0-65.1 pmol/l at T10 and 8.6-25.7 pmol/l at T20. T10 and T20 ioPTH were 9.6 and 4.1 times the postoperative PTH-after T20 ioPTH stabilized in those on dialysis. In patients with a functioning renal transplant, ioPTH levels seemed to plateau after 10 min and measured 2.6 times the postoperative PTH. CONCLUSION: There is a strong correlation between ioPTH and early postoperative PTH levels, indicating that ioPTH is potentially a useful instrument during PTX in patients with rHPT. For patients on dialysis, at T20 ioPTH levels have stabilized and are approximately four times the postoperative PTH. Therefore, it is recommended to use ioPTH 20 min after resection in patients on dialysis, which might be longer than necessary for those with a kidney transplant.

- Background: Adrenalectomy is routinely performed via the minimally invasive approach. Safety of adrenalectomy using the robot-assisted technique has been widely demonstrated by several series, but the literature is scarce regarding the comparison of conventional laparoscopic versus robot-assisted approach. We decided to carry out a multicenter study to compare clinical and surgical outcomes between laparoscopic and robotic adrenalectomy. Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study, including data from centers affiliated to the Surgical Registry EUROCRINE. Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for adrenal tumors and registered between 2015 and 2018 were included. Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic adrenalectomy was compared. All comparisons were carried out in terms of complication rate, conversion rate and duration of stay. Results: A total of 1,005 patients from 46 clinics underwent robotic or conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Median age was 55 (interquartile range: 45−65) years. Robotic adrenalectomy was performed in 189 (18.8%) patients. According to Clavien-Dindo classification, complication rate was lower in the robotic surgery group (1.6% vs 16.5%, P <.001). Laparoscopic surgery and active hormonal status were significantly correlated with complications, both in univariate and multivariate analysis. There was no significant difference between laparoscopic and robotic surgery groups, in terms of conversion rate (2.1% vs 0.5%, respectively, P =.147). Duration of stay was shorter in the robotic adrenalectomy group (82.1% vs 28.8%, P <.001). Conclusion: Analysis of the EUROCRINE database supports that robotic adrenalectomy resulted in a lower complication rate and shorter duration of stay, compared with laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Granular data to support this is warranted.
