Report demonstrates effective surgical excision in a patient with parathyroid adenoma, suggesting a less visible incision approach.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrinological disease in the society. The disease can be detected symptomatically or non-symptomatically. The basic treatment of this disease is surgical excision of the adenoma. With the increase in imaging methods, localizations are determined more accurately. The fact that the patients are usually women and do not want incisions in the neck region has helped the development of new techniques such as moving the incisions to invisible areas (axillary region, under the breast) and leaving them inside the body (transoral approach). In our case, Endoscopic Gasless Trans-Axillary Parathyroidectomy, which moves the incision to the axilla, was preferred in a 55-year-old female patient with persistent scars due to previous surgeries.
