Transplantation of Microencapsulated Parathyroid Tissue: Clinical Background, Methods, and Current Status of Research

  • Chapter
Cell Encapsulation Technology and Therapeutics

Abstract

While autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue is a well-established clinical procedure (Wells et al 1974), allotransplantation of the parathyroid gland still is at the level of experimental surgery. (See Table 20.1.)
