Abstract
Background: Several methods have been recommended to detect parathyroid lesions in patients who have previously undergone neck surgeries, including radio-guided surgery or intraoperative ultrasounds. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the radio-guided excision of pathologic parathyroid lesions allowed us to find affected lesions in patients who had previously undergone neck operations.
