    Subtotal parathyroidectomy successfully normalized calcium levels in most primary hyperparathyroidism patients. However, some had persistent hypercalcemia or elevated parathormone despite normal calcium, highlighting the need for careful postoperative monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder.
    • Subtotal parathyroidectomy is a standard surgical treatment for PHPT.
    • Postoperative assessment is crucial for evaluating surgical success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term postoperative outcomes of subtotal parathyroidectomy in patients with PHPT.
    • To assess the efficacy of a calcium-parathormone normogram in postoperative management.
    • To investigate the significance of persistent elevated parathormone levels in eucalcemic patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 52 consecutive patients with PHPT underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy.
    • Postoperative serum calcium and parathormone levels were monitored 6-24 months after surgery.

  • Patients were evaluated using a calcium-parathormone normogram.

    • Main Results:

    • 48 out of 52 patients (92.3%) achieved normal calcium and parathormone levels.
    • Two patients (3.8%) experienced persistent hypercalcemia.
    • Two patients (3.8%) had normocalcemia but remained in the hyperparathyroid zone with elevated parathormone.

    Conclusions:

    • Subtotal parathyroidectomy is highly effective in normalizing biochemical parameters in most PHPT patients.
    • The calcium-parathormone normogram is a valuable tool for postoperative evaluation.
    • Further investigation is needed to understand the implications of persistent elevated parathormone in eucalcemic patients post-parathyroidectomy.
