This video was such an answer to prayer. As an experienced nurse for 27 yrs I had never heard of this surgery. I asked several of my coworkers and they had not either. I looked it up and here it is. First video that showed up. My sister had a coworker that had this surgery and was not sure if there were side effects due to the coworkers behavior a week post surgery. The coworker is also on dialysis. This video helped me guide my sister to get her coworker to call her doctor. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family.

What is the advantage of slicing it into many small pieces versus putting the four individual parathyroid glands intact in the forearm ?

This is likely due to 1st the parathyroid gland having a capsule around that needs to get disrupted in order for a new blood supply to form to it. Secondly is the cube-squared law (i.e. the relations between surface area and volume). If you cut the gland into small piece, there is more surface area for new blood and blood vessels to access the gland relative to the volume and there is less of a distance that the parathyroid hormone, nutrients, and waste need to diffuse in order to reach the circulation.

The title of this video should've been.... Things that defy evolution. Absolutely remarkable. Where can I find more information about the process of inaddition (I think spelled that right). I was told that's the process by which the parathyroid gland reattaches itself to the body and becomes functional again, but I can't find any documented research on this process.

I just had a patient who had the same surgery, and I was wondering what was the purpose of putting parathyroid in his forearm, this is very interesting. Thanks for sharing!!!! 😊

At Duke I do at least. July 1st to August 2nd. This is the shortest it's ever been, typically it's more like June 15th to August 2nd. Yes, I'm a little bitter about that lol.

I just had my parathyroid surgery 3 weeks ago. All four of mine were bad. Therefore my Dr. Chopped mine up And implanted into my left forearm. My question is how long before my new parathyroid starts working? I still have all the symptoms that I have suffered with for years. We are having difficulty getting my numbers balanced. I go in for blood work several times a week. Am I ever going to feel well again?
