Abstract
In R-HPT, the incidence of multiple gland disease at the time of initial operation was comparable with sporadic HPT. In the absence of thyroid disease, an FA may be proposed for R-HPT. Metachronous pathologic glands may develop several years after successful parathyroidectomy in R-HPT. Hence, lifelong follow-up of these patients is essential.
