Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1CSL
The traditional surgical procedure to treat advanced thyroid gland tumors is to remove the affected organ. Some concerns with the results of this surgery were raised regarding the parathyroid glands, which are small attachments on the posterior side of the thyroid gland. Why should the surgeon be concerned about the removal of these glands? A new procedure has been developed to sequester some parathyroid gland tissue into a plastic mesh holder and implant this small holder back into the body. Why is this implant an advantage to the patient?
