Background: Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is actually the gold standard in the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) due to parathyroid adenoma (PA).
Material and Methods: A clinical retrospective study was performed on a series of 40 cases operated for pHPT by single PA from January 2013 to March 2015, in the surgical department of the “St. Spiridon” Hospital of Iasi, a refferal center for endocrine surgery. Biochemical markers achieved the diagnosis of PHPT and PA was localized using cervical US and MIBI scintigraphy. Conventional minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (C-MIP) was performed in all cases where PA was accurately localised by preoperative imaging, whereas conventional cervical exploration was necessary in cases with concomitant thyroid patholog..
