Fig. 5From: Effects of preoperative cinacalcet hydrochloride treatment on the operative course of parathyroidectomy and pathological changes in resected parathyroid glandsEffect of CH treatment on operative time (a) and total intraoperative hemorrhage volume (b). There was no significant difference in the operative time between the non-CH and the CH group (median 112 min [95% CI 108–117] vs. 103 min [95% CI 95–112], P = 0.062) (a). The volume of intraoperative bleeding was significantly lower in the CH than in the non-CH group (median 17.3 mL [95% CI 6.9–27.7] vs. 29.7 mL [95% CI 24.0–35.5], P = 0.040) (b).
