European Journal of Endocrinology, 11/05/09
Witteveen J et al. – The cure rate of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism after initial surgery is 93%. When cure is achieved, this is sustained in 100% of patients for up to 24 years post–operatively. The data suggest that closer early follow–up is advocated in all patients undergoing PTx to definitively establish cure and to provide a safety net for those with residual gland pathology. The data do not support the need for long term follow–up when cure is established 6 months after PTx.
