The use of early post operative PTH as a predictor of successful minimally invasive parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism

Objective: Recent literature has highlighted concerns regarding the risk of recurrence following minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) when intra-operative PTH is not utilised. Despite this, it remains the gold standard for treatment of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and radiologically localised disease.
