In the period 1970-1983, 27 patients with end stage renal failure underwent neck exploration for hyperparathyroidism. In 1977 the operative policy changed from subtotal parathyroidectomy to total parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation. Eight patients underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy while fifteen patients underwent total parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation. All were cured of their symptoms and hypercalcaemia was resolved. There was no significant difference in the requirement for postoperative calcium and vitamin D supplements between the two groups. Recurrent hypercalcaemia developed in one patient who had undergone total parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation. Resolution followed removal of approximately half the transplant. There were four deviations from the operative policy.
