Which of the following is true about parathyroid?
IDENTIFICATION OF PARATHYROIDS Approximately 85% of the parathyroid glands are found within 1 cm of the junction of the inferior thyroid aery and RLNs. Upper parathyroid glands Superior to junction of inferior thyroid aery and RLNs Dorsal (posterior)to RLN Lower parathyroid glands Inferior to junction of inferior thyroid aery and RLNs Ventral (anterior) to RLN The thin fascia overlying a "suspicious" fat lobule should be incised using a sharp curved hemostat and scalpel. This maneuver often causes the parathyroid gland to "pop" out. MC location of ectopic parathyroid gland: Paraesophageal > Mediastinal >Intrathymic
Upper parathyroid glands are superior to junction of inferior thyroid aery and RLN
Most common location of ectopic parathyroid glands is paraesophageal
Lower parathyroid is anterior to RLN
All of the above
