Objective:

To provide updated recommendations for the surgical management of parathyroid diseases in Italy, specifically for primary Hyperparathyroidism (pHPT).

Key Findings:
  • Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is preferred when localization studies show concordant results.
  • Bilateral parathyroid exploration remains the choice for cases with discordant imaging to ensure high cure rates.
  • Neck ultrasound and [99mTc]Tc-MIBI scintigraphy are key imaging modalities for localization.
  • Imaging studies may yield false positives/negatives, complicating diagnosis.
Interpretation:

The guidelines aim to standardize surgical management of pHPT in Italy, enhancing surgical outcomes and patient care.

Limitations:
  • The guidelines do not influence the physician-patient relationship.
  • Imaging studies may yield false positives/negatives, complicating diagnosis.
Conclusion:

The SIUEC provides a framework for endocrine surgeons to improve the management of pHPT, emphasizing the balance between modern techniques and clinical judgment.
