    This study investigated the link between primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and pancreatitis. While a causal relationship remains uncertain, the data suggest it cannot be entirely excluded, especially concerning surgical intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Research

    Background:

    • A potential causal link between hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and pancreatitis has been frequently suggested.
    • Previous research has explored this association, but conclusive evidence remains elusive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the causality between primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and pancreatitis.
    • To analyze the incidence of pancreatitis in patients undergoing surgery for PHPT.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 686 patients with surgically confirmed primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
    • Examination of pancreatitis incidence in relation to parathyroidectomy.
    • Evaluation of concurrent thyroidectomy cases to assess calcitonin's role.

    Main Results:

    • A pancreatitis incidence of 1.5% (10 out of 686 patients) was observed in the PHPT cohort.
    • Three patients experienced pancreatitis post-neck exploration, a rate potentially higher than expected for unrelated surgery.
    • No postoperative pancreatitis occurred in 27 patients who also underwent thyroidectomy concurrently with parathyroidectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • The data do not definitively exclude a causal relationship between PHPT and pancreatitis.
    • The role of parathyrotoxic crisis post-surgery warrants further investigation.
    • The protective effect of calcitonin against pancreatitis, as suggested by concurrent thyroidectomy, was not confirmed in this series.
