title: [Results of surgery for hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: Since 1983, we have performed 110 parathyroidectomies in 109 patients. The hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed as primary in 102 (93.6%) patients, secondary in 6 (5.5%), and tertiary in 1 (0.9%). Sixty-one patients (55.9%) had single adenomas, 2 (1.8%) had double adenomas, 44 (40.3%) had hyperplasia and 1 (0.9%) had parathyroid cancer. Sixty-five adenomas were resected (59.6%). Subtotal parathyroidectomy was performed in 34 cases (31.2%) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplant in 10 cases (9.2%). In two cases, primary surgery did not solve hypercalcemia; one underwent successful surgery several months later. Twenty-two patients (20.2%) developed transient hypocalcemia. Persistent hypoparathyroidism was detected in 8 patients (7.3%). After exposure of 220 nerves, 2 patients (0.9%) developed permanent unilateral recurrent paralysis. Our results were similar to those of other series.
