title: [Application of video-assisted parathyroidectomy for treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: During the last years for surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism minimally invasive operations were applied. The results of the introduction of video-assisted parathyroidectomy in the clinic in 8 (32%) of 25 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, who were operated during the 2010-2012 were analysed. Video-assisted parathyroidectomy compared to conventional operation allowed to reduce significantly the duration of the operation, to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, to achieve a better cosmetic effect.
