    Abstract:
    Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPP) is increasingly being recognized because of the widespread use of multiphasic screening for hypercalcemia, in patients without clinical signs. Each year develop 100,000 new cases in the United States, females/males 5:2; the peak of incidence is in V-VI degrees decade. We analyze our patients from November 1975 to July 2000. We have performed 112 parathyroidectomy for HPP, 84 females and 28 males, median age 57.5 years. We have examined the surgical options, the value of PTH, calcium, and the number of pathological glands. The Authors discuss the invasive or non-invasive procedures and the surgical treatment.
