Trial summary

The development of outpatient surgery has become a national priority, with the objective of an ambulatory surgery rate of around 50% in 2016, whereas this rate reached only 37.7% in 2010. In the context of the management of primary hyperparathyroidism, there are two possible approaches. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Feasibility of Parathyroidectomy With Exploration of 4 Parathyroid Glands in Outpatients, for Treatment of Primary Hyperparathyroidism

The development of outpatient surgery has become a national priority, with the objective of an ambulatory surgery rate of around 50% in 2016, whereas this rate reached only 37.7% in 2010.

In the context of the management of primary hyperparathyroidism, there are two possible approaches. The first, which is commonly performed on an outpatient basis, consists in approaching only the pathological gland, if it was first identified by scintigraphy and ultrasound (which is the case in one patient in two), without exploring the others parathyroid glands.

The reference technique consists in exploring the 4 parathyroid sites by transverse cervicotomy. Although more invasive, it minimizes the risk of failure due to the lack of knowledge of multi-glandular forms of the disease (15 to 20%), whose preoperative diagnosis is difficult. This reference technique is poorly performed on an outpatient basis while it lends itself to this type of management because of the superficial character of the operative site, a short operating time, moderate postoperative pain, rapid return oral nutrition and exceptional and early serious complications (delay <24 h for cervical hematoma, <24 h for hypocalcemia and immediate diagnosis of recurrent palsy).

In this study, the investigators hypothesize that parathyroidectomy with 4-gland parathyroid exploration is feasible by ensuring patient safety. The investigators also believe that outpatient management will not lead to any difference after 3-month surgery, but will reduce hospitalization costs while increasing patient satisfaction with conventional care. To do so, the investigators carried out an observational cohort study of patients with an indication of parathyroidectomy wo will undergo outpatient management or conventional management (stay overnight in hospital) to inform all of these data.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • outpatient management of parathyroidectomyProcedure or surgery

    The patient is discharged from hospital the same day of the parathyroidectomy intervention instead of conventional management (stay overnight in hospital)

  • conventional management of parathyroidectomyProcedure or surgery

    The patient stays overnight in hospital after intervention

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of conversion or readmission to conventional hospitalization

    The primary endpoint will be assessed for patients receiving outpatient management. Proportion of patients who could not discharged from hospital the same day of surgery as originally scheduled or being readmitted to conventional hospitalization within 8 days post operatively.

    Measured: within 8 days postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Postoperative pain evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Pain will be evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) . VAS score ranges from 0 to 10. A high VAS score represents a high level of pain while a low VAS score represents a low level of pain.

    Measured: at day 0 post operatively

  2. Postoperative pain evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Pain will be evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) . VAS score ranges from 0 to 10. A high VAS score represents a high level of pain while a low VAS score represents a low level of pain.

    Measured: at day 1 post operatively

  3. Postoperative pain evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Pain will be evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) . VAS score ranges from 0 to 10. A high VAS score represents a high level of pain while a low VAS score represents a low level of pain.

    Measured: at day 8 post operatively

  4. Proportion of patients with breathing difficulty.

    Dyspnea will be evaluated using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification. The stage of dyspnea is classified in four categories based on how much patients are limited during physical activity. Breathing difficulty will be defined by a stage of 3 on the NYHA scale.

    Measured: at day 1 post operatively

  5. Proportion of patients with breathing difficulty.

    Dyspnea will be evaluated using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification. The stage of dyspnea is classified in four categories based on how much patients are limited during physical activity. Breathing difficulty will be defined by a stage of 3 on the NYHA scale.

    Measured: at day 8 post operatively

  6. Proportion of patients with compressive cervical hematoma

    clinical evaluation based on the occurrence of a cervical collection that can obstruct the upper aero-digestive tract (NYHA scale dyspnea)

    Measured: at day 0 post operatively

  7. Proportion of patients with compressive cervical hematoma

    clinical evaluation based on the occurrence of a cervical collection that can obstruct the upper aero-digestive tract (NYHA scale dyspnea)

    Measured: at day 1 post operatively

  8. Proportion of patients with compressive cervical hematoma

    clinical evaluation based on the occurrence of a cervical collection that can obstruct the upper aero-digestive tract (NYHA scale dyspnea)

    Measured: at day 8 post operatively

  9. Proportion of patients with hypocalcemia

    Hypocalcemia will be defined as calcemia lower than 2 mmol/L or 80 mg/L

    Measured: at day 1 post operatively

  10. Proportion of patients with hypocalcemia

    Hypocalcemia will be defined as calcemia lower than 2 mmol/L or 80 mg/L

    Measured: at 3 months post operatively

  11. Proportion of patients with recurrent nerve paralysis

    Clinical evaluation based on the occurrence of voice modification with swallowing disorder

    Measured: at day 0 post operatively

  12. Proportion of patients with recurrent nerve paralysis

    Clinical evaluation based on the occurrence of voice modification with swallowing disorder

    Measured: at day 1 post operatively

  13. Proportion of patients with recurrent nerve paralysis

    Clinical evaluation based on the occurrence of voice modification with swallowing disorder

    Measured: at day 8 post operatively

  14. Patients' satisfaction regarding his/her care evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Patients' satisfaction evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS). VAS score ranges from 0 to 10. A high VAS score represents a high level of satisfaction while a low VAS score represents a low level of satisfaction.

    Measured: at day 0 post operatively

  15. Patients' satisfaction regarding his/her care evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Patients' satisfaction evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS). VAS score ranges from 0 to 10. A high VAS score represents a high level of satisfaction while a low VAS score represents a low level of satisfaction.

    Measured: at day 1 post operatively

  16. Patients' satisfaction regarding his/her care evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Patients' satisfaction evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS). VAS score ranges from 0 to 10. A high VAS score represents a high level of satisfaction while a low VAS score represents a low level of satisfaction.

    Measured: at 3 months post operatively

  17. Total cost of mode of care

    Total cost of hospital surgery stay and hospital readmission at 3 months

    Measured: at 3 months post operatively
