    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)-associated primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is classically associated with an asymmetric and asynchronous parathyroid involvement. Subtotal parathyroidectomy (STP), which is currently the recommended surgical treatment, carries a high risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism. The results of less than subtotal parathyroidectomy (LSTP) are conflicting, and its place in this setting is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to identify the place of LSTP in the surgical management of patients with MEN-associated pHPT. METHODS: A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines, for studies comparing STP and LSTP for MEN1-associated pHPT. The results of the two techniques, regarding permanent hypoparathyroidism, persistent hyperparathyroidism and recurrent hyperparathyroidism were computed using pairwise random-effect meta-analysis. RESULTS: Twenty-five studies comparing STP and LSTP qualified for inclusion in the quantitative synthesis. In total, 947 patients with MEN1-associated pHPT were allocated to STP (n = 569) or LSTP (n = 378). LSTP reduces the risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism [odds ratio (OR) 0.29, confidence interval (CI) 95% 0.17-0.49)], but exposes to higher rates of persistent hyperparathyroidism [OR 4.60, 95% CI 2.66-7.97]. Rates of recurrent hyperparathyroidism were not significantly different between the two groups [OR 1.26, CI 95% 0.83-1.91]. CONCLUSIONS: LSTP should not be abandoned and should be considered as a suitable surgical option for selected patients with MEN1-associated pHPT. The increased risk of persistent hyperparathyroidism could improve with the emergence of more efficient preoperative localization imaging techniques and a more adequate patients selection.
