Long Term Satisfaction of Patients after Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism :Analysis of 71 Patients
Abstract
Abstract:
Introduction: The aim of this study is to discuss the necessity of surgery by analysing the long term results and satisfaction of the symptomatic and asymptomatic patients who had parathyroidectomy for primary hiperparathyroidism.
Methods: Patients who had parathyroidectomy because of primary parathyroid pathology or during thyroid surgery as concomittant parathyroid pathology between June 1999 and September 2010 were enrolled to the present, retrospective study. A total of seventy one patient were included to the study. The Pasieka Symptom Scoring System and SF-36 questionnaire are applied to the patients. The patients were divided into two groups as symptomatic and asympyomatic. The answers to the Pasieka Symptom Scoring System’s last 5 questions examining general health, surgical satisfaction and quality of life were evaluated between smptomatic and asymptomatic patients.
Results: Number of the symptomatic patients were 38 (53.5%) whereas 33 patients (46.5%) were asymptomatic. Average length of follow up was 60 months. Among the operated 71 patients; 67 (94.4%) were cured, 4 (5.6%) had persistent hyperparathyroidism and 2 of these patients were operated again, the other two patients were out of follow up.
Conclusion: Asymptomatic patients with primary hyperparathyroidism may have masked neurocognitive and psychiatric complaints and these patients’ quality of life can be improved with surgery.

Özet:
Giriş: Çalışmanın amacı primer hiperparatiroidism nedeniyle paratiroidektomi yapılmış semptomatik ve asemptomatik hastaların uzun dönem sonuçlarını ve memnuniyetlerini değerlendirerek cerrahinin gerekliliğini tartışmaktır.
Metod: Retrospektif çalışmamıza Haziran 1999 ile Eylül 2010 tarihleri arasında primer paratiroid patolojisi nedeniyle veya eşlik eden paratiroid patolojisi olup tiroid cerrahisi esnasında paratiroidektomi yapılan hastalar dahil edilmiştir. Toplam 71 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir ve hastalara The Pasieka Symptom Scoring System ve SF-36 anketleri uygulanmıştır. Hastalar semptomatik ve asemptomatik olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmıştır. The Pasieka Symptom Scoring System anketinin son 5 sorusunun yanıtları asemptomatik ve semptomatik hastalar arasında genel sağlık durumu, cerrahi memnuniyet ve hayat kalitesini değerlendirmektedir.
Sonuçlar: Semptomatik hastaların sayısı 38 (%53.5) iken 33 (%46.5) hasta asemptomatik grupta idi. Ortalama takip süresi 60 aydı. 71 Hasta arasından 67 hastada (%94.4) kür sağlandı, 4 hastada (%5.6) persistan hiperparatiroidism gelişti ve 2 hasta tekrar opere edildi; 2 hasta ise izlem dışı kaldı.
Karar: Asemptomatik primer hiperparatiroidismli hastalarda nörokognitif ve psikiatrik yakınmalar maskelenebilir ve bu hastaların yaşam kaliteleri cerrahi ile iyileştirilebilir.
