Surgeons increasingly favor unilateral exploration for primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). This shift is driven by advances in imaging and intraoperative parathyroid hormone testing, enabling less invasive surgical approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) management has evolved significantly.
  • Historically, bilateral neck exploration was standard for HPT.
  • A trend towards less invasive surgical techniques is evident.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the factors driving the increasing adoption of unilateral exploration for HPT.
  • To discuss the historical context and technological advancements facilitating minimally invasive HPT surgery.
  • To present the outcomes of various minimally invasive surgical techniques for HPT.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical surgical approaches for HPT.
  • Discussion of advancements in diagnostic imaging, specifically magnetic resonance sestamibi imaging.

  • Analysis of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) assays.
  • Presentation of results from minimally invasive techniques: radio-guided parathyroidectomy, endoscopic parathyroidectomy, and outpatient parathyroidectomy.

    • Main Results:

    • Unilateral exploration is becoming the preferred surgical strategy for primary hyperparathyroidism.
    • Technological innovations have enabled more precise localization and treatment of hyperparathyroidism.
    • Minimally invasive techniques demonstrate successful outcomes in HPT management.
    • Outpatient parathyroidectomy is increasingly feasible.

    Conclusions:

    • The trend towards less invasive surgery for HPT is supported by technological progress.
    • Unilateral exploration, aided by advanced imaging and intraoperative PTH monitoring, offers an effective alternative to bilateral exploration.
    • Minimally invasive approaches enhance patient recovery and surgical efficiency for primary hyperparathyroidism.
