Background: Most surgeons have rapidly accepted the use of minimally invasive surgical approaches for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism. The role of the endoscope in neck surgery is still being discussed due to its technical difficulty and complex patient selection criteria.
Materials And Methods: A prospective study was conducted between April 2010 and April 2013. It included patients diagnosed with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT) by locating a single adenoma using ultrasound and sestamibi scintigraphy imaging. All patients agreed to be included in the study. Experienced endocrine surgeons that had been trained in endocrine minimally invasive surgery performed the procedure. The same surgical technique was used in all of the cases. The demographic and clinical variables were evaluated. A descriptive analysis was performed on the data measuring mean, standard deviation, and range.
Results: A total of 28 endoscopic lateral parathyroidectomies were performed. All patients were diagnosed with sporadic hyperparathyroidism sPHPT. The mean age was 68 years (59-89). No intraoperative complications were registered. Postoperative morbidity was comparable to that reported in the classical approach. A favourable outcome was observed in 27 of the 28 patients (96%) after a mean follow-up time of 22 (9 - 53) months.
Conclusions: An endoscopic approach for hyperparathyroidism sPHPT is feasible and reproducible, and it obtains comparable results to the classical open surgery. Several factors make this technique suitable for highly specialised hospitals with a high patient volume and specialised endocrine surgery units.

The rarity and variability of MEN1-related primary hyperparathyroidism (mPHPT) has led to contradictory data regarding the bone phenotype in this patient population. A single-center retrospective study was conducted among young age- and sex-matched patients with mPHPT and sporadic hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT). The main parameters of calcium-phosphorus metabolism, bone remodeling markers, and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were obtained during the active phase of hyperparathyroidism before parathyroidectomy (PTE) and 1 year after.

Context: The ability to differentiate sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT) caused by a single parathyroid adenoma (PTA) from multiglandular disease (MGD) pre-operatively, as well as definitely diagnose sPHPT in difficult patients, would enhance surgical decision making.
Objective: Identify miRNA (miR) signatures for MGD, single- and double-PTA, as well as cell-free miRNA (cfmiR) in plasma samples from patients with single-PTAs to use as biomarkers.
Design/setting/patients: 47 patients with sPHPT (single-PTA n=32, double-PTA n=12, MGD n=9).
Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) - is a rare syndrome with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern caused by a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene (MEN1). Parathyroid involvement is the most common MEN1 manifestation resulting in primary hyperparathyroidism (mPHPT). Data on the prevalence and structure of bone disease in mPHPT compared to sporadic one (sPHPT) are often incomplete and contradictory.

Background: Focused parathyroidectomy (F-PTX) guided by intraoperative parathormone (ioPTH) monitoring may result in higher operative failure rates from missed multiglandular disease (MGD) in patients with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (spHPT) when ioPTH levels do not reach normal range.
Methods: A retrospective review included 690 patients with spHPT who underwent F-PTX and ioPTH monitoring were divided into 2 groups: >50% ioPTH decrease to normal range, and >50% ioPTH decrease to above normal range. Operative success, recurrence, bilateral/unilateral neck exploration (BNE/UNE), MGD were evaluated.

Objective: Accurate demarcation between multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 1 (MEN1)- related primary hyperparathyroidism (MPHPT) and sporadic PHPT (SPHPT) is important to plan the management of primary parathyroid disease and surveillance for other endocrine and nonendocrine tumours. The objective of this study is to compare the clinical, biochemical and radiological features and surgical outcomes in patients with MPHPT versus SPHPT and to identify the predictors of MEN1 syndrome in PHPT.
Design, Patients And Measurements: This was an ambispective observationalstudy involving 251 patients with SPHPT and 23 patients with MPHPT evaluated at the endocrine clinic of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India between January 2015 and December 2021.
