Intraoperative quick parathyroid hormone (QPTH) assay is claimed to prevent failure during parathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism. The causes of operative failure have included multiglandular disease, ectopic parathyroid glands, supernumerary parathyroid glands, errors in frozen section evaluations, and missed diagnosis. A QPTH assay has been recognized as a useful method of determining whether hyperfunctioning tissues have been completely excised. However, an intraoperative QPTH assay may fail to detect the presence of double parathyroid adenomas. Use of this assay in conjunction with preoperative and intraoperative localization studies has led to the advocacy of more directed cervical procedures, such as limited, video-assisted, and endoscopic parathyroidectomy.
