Search for: [Abstract = "TH monitoring influenced on the extent of parathyroid tissue resection in 16 \(10.3%\) patients. Normalized total serum calcium values were observed in 154 \(99.4%\) patients during a 6\-month follow\-up. Conclusions\: Ad.1\). Miami criterion of intraoperative iPTH assay is the most accurate in prognostication of postoperative serum calcium levels after minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Use of other, criteria may involve a higher risk of false negative results and unnecessary conversion to more extensive neck dissection in search for non\-existent hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue. Ad.2\). Both MIVAP and OMIP approaches were equally safe and effective. However, the outcomes of MIVAP operations were superior to OMIP in terms of lesser postoperative pain, lower analgesics consumption, and better cosmetic satisfaction resulting from a smaller scar. Ad.3\). Bilateral neck exploration in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism is the preferred surgical technique in the following circumstances\: a suspicion of multiglandular parathyroid disease \(MEN 1 or 2A syndrome, familial hyperparathyroidism, lithium therapy\), a negative preoperative imaging, in patients not consenting for minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, and in cases with concomitant goitre necessitating surgical treatment. Use of intraoperative iPTH monitoring influences on the extent of parathyroid tissue resection in one of"]
