Description:
This text is an accessible and user-friendly guide, addressing the key points of parathyroid diseases. It presents a comprehensive treatment of parathyroid diseases as well as hundreds of high quality images and illustrations. Written and edited by respected leaders in the field of parathyroid diseases, this book aids in the comprehension of innovative concepts and focuses on the latest in clinical research and evidence based practices. Written for endocrine, head and neck, and general surgeons at various stages of experience, Medical and Surgical Treatment of Parathyroid Diseases includes chapters dedicated to parathyroid anatomy, physiology, and embryology, medical therapy for parathyroid disease (indications and pharmacotherapy), diagnostic imaging, surgical treatments, and special topics such as health services and healthcare economics related to parathyroid surgery
