Abstract
Traditionally, primary hyperparathyroidism has been managed surgically with 4-gland exploration. Surgical exploration remains the gold standard in parathyroid surgery and remains an important surgical technique despite the popularity of minimally invasive parathyroid surgery. In this article, we describe the indications, technique, and other perioperative considerations in bilateral parathyroid exploration.
