Objective. To analyze the clinical value of dissection parathyroidectomy (DP) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) complicated by refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). Subjects and Methods. Patients with CKD complicated by refractory secondary HPT were included as the research subjects. Among them, 42 patients who received DP were assigned as the study group, while another 42 patients who underwent conventional total parathyroidectomy were assigned as the control group. Results. The average operative time and postoperative average length of hospital stay of the study group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The study group showed lower levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) compared to the control group 1 day postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively, 6 months postoperatively, and 12 months postoperatively (P<0.05). The study group exhibited lower serum calcium levels than the control group 1 day postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively, 1 month postoperatively, and 6 months postoperatively (P<0.05). Additionally, the study group demonstrated lower serum phosphorus levels compared to the control group 1 day postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively, and 6 months postoperatively (P<0.05). Conclusions. The application of DP in patients with CKD complicated by refractory secondary HPT holds definite clinical value.
