[New strategies in the surgery of primary hyperparathyroidism]

Although a remarkable pathology in terms of morbidity and life expectancy, primary hyperparathyroidism remains nonetheless a poorly recognized state despite highly suggestive clinical polymorphism, reliable biological signs and performing imaging for localisation. Through a retrospective study of a series of 129 patients surgically treated for primary hyperparathyroidism over a period of 12 years, helped by a review of the literature, we are able to propose an adapted surgical strategy for every different clinical aspect of this pathology (adenoma, benign hyperplasia, carcinoma). This strategy is guided by specific pre-operative findings and the Sestamibi scintigraphy.
