Excerpt

It is well established that minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is routinely performed for solitary parathyroid adenoma with numerous advantages over bilateral neck exploration in patients with hyperparathyroidism. Lal and Chen1 well summarized the benefits of MIP such as smaller incision, less pain, shorter operating time, lower morbidity, better cosmetic results, and shorter hospital stay. …
