Introduction: Secondary hyperparathyroidism is the main disorder of mineral and bone metabolism associated with chronic kidney disease. This disorder is characterized by hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Given the high cost and unavailability of calcimimetics, surgery remains a good alternative. In the immediate postoperative period after parathyroidectomy, hypocalcemia is common and close monitoring is critical.Objective: The aim of our work ...

Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is the clinical and biological manifestation of excessive and inappropriate parathyroid hormone (PTH) production. It is the third most common endocrinopathy. It is often secondary to a single adenoma (80%). Occasionally, it may be a multi-glandular disease (15-18%). Treatment is surgical.Objective: the aim is to evaluate therapeutic results after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.Method: This...

Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism is the third most common endocrinopathy. Minimally invasive surgery using a unilateral approach is now increasingly common. In such cases, preoperative localization of the lesion by imaging is essential. Among the techniques available, ultrasound and scintigraphy play a predominant role.Objective: our aim is to evaluate the diagnostic contribution of ultrasound and parathyroid scintigraphy in localizing the pathological ...

Introduction: hyperparathyroidism is an endocrinopathy affecting calcium metabolism. Its curative treatment is surgical. Postoperative hypocalcemia is one of the main risks of this surgery.Objective: The aim of this study is to identify predictive factors of postoperative hypocalcemia after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.Method: This is a retrospective study including 84 patients operated on for pimary hyperparathyroidism ...

Introduction: Primary hyperthyroidism relates to the thyroid gland producing large amounts of hormone due to either uncontrolled growth of hormone-producing functional tissue. This condition needs to be treated surgically in order to prevent complications.Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism.Method: This is a retrospective study of 84 patients operated on for pimary h...

Introduction: Papillary carcinoma is the most common histological type of thyroid carcinomas. Lymph node involvement is an important prognostic factor. But its management remains uncodified.Objective: The aim of our study was to identify the predictive factors of lateral lymph node metastases in papillary thyroid carcinoma.Methods: This is a retrospective study including 96 patients operated on for papillary thyroid carcinoma at ou...

Introduction: Papillary cancer accounts for 90 % of all thyroid cancers. Although this cancer has a good prognosis, some patients do not respond well to the conventional treatment (surgery and iodine radiation therapy).Objective: The aim of this study is to identify predictive factors of persistent or refractory disease in papillary thyroid cancer.Method: This is a retrospective study including 79 patients who underwent surgery for...

Introduction: Carcinogenesis results from a disturbance in the balance between apoptosis and cell proliferation. This process involves inflammatory cells, which play a pro- and anticarcinogenic role.Objective: the aim of this study is to investigate the status of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as potential biomarkers in predicting the evolutionary profile of papillary thyroid cancers.Methods: ...

Introduction: Intraoperative management of thyroid gland in laryngeal cancer is controversial. In fact, there is no uniform consensus about the need for thyroid surgery in laryngeal cancer.Objective: Determine the incidence of thyroid gland invasion in patients undergoing surgery for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods: A retrospective study including 62 cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent a total larynge...

Introduction: Oncocytic tumors can occur in the thyroid gland and other endocrine tissues, including the parathyroid, pituitary gland, adrenal cortex, pancreas, gut, and lung. Thyroid oncocytic tumors are rare: 3-10% of thyroid epithelial tumors. They are characterized by the presence of oncocytic cells called “Hürthle” cells.Objective: Describe the clinical, pathological and therapeutic features of oncocytic tumors of the thyroid gland.</...
