This sestamibi scan clearly shows a normal thyroid and one large parathyroid tumor. Positive sestamibi scan showing deep right upper parathyroid adenoma, a normal thyroid, and nothing else. Scans are wrong more than they are right! Chill on the scan folks! And tell your doctors to chill on the scans too! Scans cause more problems than they solve. The scan will not hold the answer to your problems. If you learn nothing else from this parathyroid operation video, then learn that scans are not accurate, and are just a tool we use. scans can never tell you how many glands are bad. This is why we roll our eyes when our patients have a scan and then ask us 'how many bad parathyroid glands do I have?' We tell them: 'We don't know, we haven't performed the operation yet'. This case was not staged, but several important points about sestamibi scans are made during this video such that you may think we knew that this man had two tumors ahead of time-but we did not! We look at all four parathyroid glands in almost every parathyroid operation we do-because you can't tell by scan how many bad ones exist. When we found two in this man, it gave us the perfect opportunity to show that sestamibi scans are over-emphasized and are usually wrong.

Of course we did not know this ahead of time-there is no way of knowing which patients will be one of the 25-30% that have two parathyroid tumors. It is very important to realize that this man had TWO parathyroid tumors even when the scan said he only had one. This Sestamibi Scan is Great Quality and Clearly Positive: But Wrong! Most of our operations are done through incisions that are 1 inch. Also, we evaluate the entire thyroid through this small incision. We do not need a big incision to see all four glands. With a number of surgical 'tricks' learned from doing many thousands of these operations (that you can't appreciate completely because you can't see into the wound), we can see all four parathyroid glands through this incision that is about 1 inch in this man. If your surgeon isn't going to look at all four parathyroid glands, then your surgeon is not an expert. Any operation that has the incision placed off to one side has a cure rate of 80% at best (you will understand that after you see the video). Any surgeon who puts an incision off to one side or the other should have his/her hands smacked with a ruler-it is never done by an expert. The incision must be put in the middle so we can get to all the parathyroid glands on BOTH sides of the neck. We put the incision in the same place on all patients.

Incision to Allow Examination of all Four Parathyroid Glands If your surgeon wants to put a tube down your trachea so he/she can 'monitor' your vocal cord nerves, you should understand that your surgeon may not have much experience doing parathyroid surgery. He is getting some anesthesia through an IV (vein) and some inhaled anesthetics from an LMA. This patient is experiencing light general anesthesia - so he doesn't feel anything or move, but he is awake enough so that he breathes on his own and not by machine.

That means we don't put a tube down into the trachea for deep general anesthesia. We do not use an endotracheal tube on 95% of our patients. If you have a question for our surgeons, please We know that there is a lot of information on the site and it can be hard
