Purpose Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with increased risk of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aim to determine whether parathyroidectomy …

BACKGROUND: The introduction of limited explorations (LE) for parathyroidectomy
broadened the management possibilities for hyperparathyroidism. We sought to document …

Introduction Surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is traditionally deemed to be
successful if serum calcium levels return to normal 6 months after parathyroidectomy …

Objective To investigate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a treatment option
for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and risk factors for postablative eucalcemic …

Background A recent study with unusually lengthy follow-up after surgery for primary
hyperparathyroidism reported higher recurrence rates than previously appreciated. We …

Background The traditional definition of cure after parathyroidectomy (PTX) for primary
hyperparathyroidism is normocalcemia. Our hypothesis was that early postoperative levels …

BACKGROUND: The clinical importance of elevated serum parathyroid hormone (PTH)
levels in patients with normocalcemia after curative parathyroidectomy (PTX) for primary …

Objective To provide a clinical update on persistent parathyroid hormone (PTH) elevation
after surgical resection for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and to suggest a schedule …

Introduction Many adjuncts guide surgical decision making in parathyroidectomy, yet their
independent associations with outcome are poorly characterized. We examined a broad …

BACKGROUND: The long-term significance of normocalcemic parathormone elevation
(NPE) after successful parathyroidectomy for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism remains …
