Background: Precise localization of abnormal parathyroid glands is important for a successful surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). While a large number of patients can be successfully treated with the focused parathyroidectomy, there is a considerable rate of the persistent PHPT mostly because of undetected multiglandular disease (MGD).
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the meaning of preoperative visualization data for planning the surgery for patients with PHPT.

Background: For a comprehensive assessment of the effect of surgery in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), as well as for monitoring the condition of patients after treatment, it sounds reasonable to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and symptoms in PHPT patients before and after surgery.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess changes in the QoL and symptoms in patients with PHPT after surgery.
Materials And Methods: During prospective observational study, patients filled out QoL questionnaires and evaluated the presence and severity of their symptoms prior to parathyroidectomy (PTE) and 3, 12 months after surgery.
Background: Quality of life (QoL) assessment before and after surgical treatment in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHTP) may be useful for comprehensive evaluation of the treatment effect, as well as for monitoring of the patient' condition after surgery, including in real clinical practice.
Aim: The aim of the study was to validate and test the Russian version of the PHPQoL questionnaire for assessment of the quality of life (QoL) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) for further application in clinical practice and research in Russia.
Materials And Methods: The linguistic and cultural adaptation of the PHPQoL questionnaire was carried out in accordance with international guidelines.
