Abstract
iPTH testing improves cure rates in patients undergoing minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. iPTH testing allowed intraoperative recognition and resection of additional hyperfunctioning parathyroids missed by preoperative imaging studies. Consequently, we strongly advocate the routine use of iPTH testing in patients who undergo minimally invasive parathyroidectomy for 1°HPT.
