Description
Summary:	Eighteen patients with postoperative insufficiency (after thyroid operations) have been treated with cultured, hormonally active, living and ABO the same group type parathyroid cells. Explants had been taken from 2 operated patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Hormonal activity of the transplanted parathyroid cells under the fascia of the brachio-radialis muscle has been confirmed by clinical, biochemical tests and the level of PTH in blood serum from the vein of non-grafted arm. Hormonal activity of the graft was variable but lasted up to 14 months.
