Title
Enabling the cryopreservation of parathyroid glands for hospitals without biobank
Abstract
In case of the secondary Hyperparathyroidism, the cryopreservation and -storage of the parathyroid glands for a later autotransplantation may be necessary. This cryopreservation and cryostorage of parathyroid glands had been done in the past by the clinicians themselves. Due to the small number of cases and the lack of standardization, the hospital is expectedly not willing to invest in necessary equipment.
