Subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPX) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantion (TPXAT) are adequate techniques in treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT2) in hemodialysed patients with identical results. Reinterventions required for persistence or recurrence of HPT2 may seem easy after TPXAT: no redo-surgery in the cervical area and removal of grafts in the forearm under local anaesthesia. The aim of this study was to analyze our results of reiterative surgery in...

Recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism (RPHPT) is defined as hypercalcemia occurring after 6 months of normocalcemia following initial operation.
