Abstract
In the last few decades, the standard surgical treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has shifted from bilateral neck exploration to focused/minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (FMIP). This shift was accelerated by the introduction of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) monitoring, which can provide intraoperative information regarding the localization and complete excision of the pathological parathyroid gland during FMIP. Since the first clinical application of the IOPTH assay in 1991, IOPTH monitoring has substantially improved to date to increase its performance and availability. In addition, the clinical applications of IOPTH changed with the needs of actual clinical practice, although the fundamental concept and technique remained unchanged. In this review, we discuss the role of IOPTH monitoring in the surgical management of PHPT based on the results of contemporary studies and summarized the major issues regarding IOPTH.
