Parathyroid adenomas are a common medical condition that results from the abnormal growth of one or more parathyroid glands. Patients with this condition may suffer from symptoms like high parathyroid hormone levels, high calcium levels, osteoporosis, and even kidney stones. While surgery is the traditional treatment for parathyroid adenomas, it can be difficult and traumatic for the patient, especially when the adenomas are located deep in the neck. In recent years, ablation therapy has emerged as an alternative to surgery for treating parathyroid adenomas.
To learn more about ablation therapy for parathyroid adenomas, we interviewed Dr. BĆ¼lent ĆekiƧ, an interventional radiologist from Turkey who has treated over 4,000 cases of thyroid ablation. Dr. ĆekiƧ is well known for not only treating patients but also training other doctors in ablation therapy. According to Dr. ĆekiƧ, parathyroid ablation can be a quick, comfortable, and fast resolution with no surgery.
During the interview, Dr. ĆekiƧ explained that parathyroid adenomas can be fixed through ablation. He emphasized that the most crucial aspect of the procedure is a very good thyroid section before ablation. After a thorough examination of the patient's condition, including laboratory tests and parathyroid scintigraphy, Dr. ĆekiƧ and his team can perform ablation therapy, which typically takes only between 10 and 15 minutes. The procedure time is minimal, and patients can return to normal life in maximum one hour. Moreover, after only one day, the patient's parathormone levels return to normal. Dr. ĆekiƧ also highlighted that parathyroid ablation is very close to the regular laryngeal nerve, which is why a good thyroid section is vital before ablation.
Dr. ĆekiƧ also noted that parathyroid adenomas are mostly small, with a size of between 1 and 2 centimeters, and their stiffness is low. He explained that the ablation time is maximum one or two minutes, and the pilot trade adenoma ablation time is between three and four minutes. He added that only after 20 or 30 minutes, the patients can be discharged.
In conclusion, ablation therapy is a promising alternative to surgery for treating parathyroid adenomas. According to Dr. ĆekiƧ, it is effective, comfortable, and fast, with a quick recovery time. Patients can return to normal life in maximum one hour, and their parathormone levels return to normal after only one day. Dr. ĆekiƧ's extensive experience in thyroid ablation makes him an excellent resource for patients and doctors alike.
