Parathyroidectomy: maintaining calcium homeostasis
Todays OR Nurse.
1990 Apr.
Abstract
1. Meticulous homeostasis is important as the surgeon locates the parathyroid glands. 2. Multiple specimens must be labeled and sent to pathology to aid in the identification of parathyroid tissue. 3. Some of the removed parathyroid tissue is often reimplanted in a neck or arm muscle, and some may be frozen for future use.
