We describe our technique for performing a mini-incision parathyroidectomy in patients with hyperparathyroidism. Since our procedure differs from conventional parathyroidectomy in requiring a 2- or 3-cm skin incision and no raising of skin flap, this technique resulted in a good cosmetic status and less invasiveness. Hypesthesia or paresthesia in the neck and discomfort while swallowing related to a large skin incision and raising of skin flap are minimized. Although the cosmetic results of endoscopic techniques are better than those of our procedures, endoscopic instruments remain traumatic, can easily inflict iatrogenic lesions to parathyroid adenomas and enhance the risk of tumor cell exfoliation, especially if the parathyroid adenoma is manipulated by the instruments. Our surgical procedure can be less technically demanding and time-consuming. Although the number of patients whom we have treated in this manner is still small, we believe that our new procedure constitutes a useful surgical treatment for hyperparathyroidism.

INTRODUCTION Mini-incision focused parathyroidectomy (MI-FP) is advocated as an alternative to bilateral neck exploration (BNE), owing to its reduced morbidity. The site and side of the affected gland is identified preoperatively using a combination of ultrasound and sestamibi scans. However, the acceptable degree of inter-scan concordance required to prompt MI-FP without compromising accuracy is undetermined.

Parathyroid surgery is the acceptable definitive treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) due to parathyroid adenoma. Open mini-incision parathyroidectomy (O-MIP) has an excellent cure rate and minimal morbidity. We aim to demonstrate the safety, efficacy and subjective patient satisfaction of O-MIP and investigate the accuracy of pre-operative radiological localisation in relation to operative findings.

In 183 patients have been performed the conventional approach with revision of all 4 parathyroid glands, in 29- using minimally invasive methods (in 18 - endoscopic operations, in 11 - targeted operations through mini incision). Multi-glandular disease was observed in 5.

Introduction: Conventional practice of parathyroidectomy has been collar incision with bilateral neck exploration and a four-gland evaluation. Our local practice involves simplified parathyroidectomy via mini-incision without routine use of intraoperative adjuncts. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that a good success rate can be achieved, which will hopefully encourage more to undertake minimally invasive parathyroid surgery.
