title: Surgical experience with hyperparathyroidism.
abstract: This is a retrospective analytic review of 208 patients with hyperparathyroidism studied and treated at Vanderbilt University Hospital from 1935 to 1980. Follow-up in these patients has been completed to date or to death in a great majority of patients. Results indicate the value of excision of isolated adenomas and of subtotal parathyroidectomy for primary and secondary hyperplasia.
