title: The surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism: a regional hospital experience.
abstract: Parathyroidectomy is an established surgical treatment for symptomatic hyperparathyroidism. In this regional hospital experience, 50 patients who had undergone a parathyroidectomy were looked at. We examined clinical indications and noted trends for hypertension, neuromuscular symptomatology and psychiatric complaints to occur commonly as presenting symptoms. Operative results and histology results are examined and correlated. Particular note is made of any postoperative complications.
