title: [Our current results in the surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: We are reporting a descriptive study with our current results in the surgery of hyperparathyroidism. On 14 years experience we have operated 124 patients by performing 122 parathyroidectomies. A 74.2% were primary hyperparathyroidism; a 21.7%, secondary and 4.1% tertiary ones. Among other parameters we have analyzed the clinical symptoms, complementary explorations, surgical technique, anatomopathologic result (AP), location for the removal glands, thyroid pathology associated and complications. Our percentage of success was 96%. We only have registered one recurrent palsy after exposing 190 nerves and 30 hypocalcemias (27 were transitory and 3 permanent). Finally, a literature review has been carried out in order to compare our data with other published series.
