pubmed:abstractText |
Parathyroidectomy should be considered in every patient with hypercalcaemia and primary hyperparathyroidism even if the symptoms are vague. Cervical exploration is a safe operation with very satisfactory results. Our experience in 214 patients over 25 years shows permanent postoperative normocalcaemia in 95% of cases with a complication rate of 2.8%. All patients with primary HPT, regardless of age or the severity of symptoms should be candidates for cervical exploration.
