title: [Unilateral neck exploration in primary hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: Within a prospective case control study from 1993 to 1996, in 85 first operations for primary hyperparathyroidism the neck exploration was ended unilaterally when an adenoma (also histologically proven) and one normally small parathyroid gland were found. Otherwise or in case of simultaneous surgery of the thyroid gland, a bilateral exploration was performed. The primary success rate with this strategy, additionally based on 69.4% correct results of cervical ultrasound, was 95.3%, with a significant saving of an average of 30 min. operating time.
