Abstract
Approximately 85% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism harbour a single adenoma. Thus, with accurate preoperative localization, targeted surgery using unilateral neck exploration under regional or local anaesthesia has been developed. Today, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP)1,2 is performed after preoperative parathyroid localization usually with high quality sestamibi scans, ultrasonography, MRI or four-dimensional computed tomography scans.
