SFE2005 Poster Presentations Endocrine tumours and neoplasia (5 abstracts)
Pontefract General Infirmary, Pontefract, United Kingdom.
Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is common; Prevalence and Incidence are now much higher than the past. There is also a change in practice related to medical management, surveillance, and defining criteria for diagnosis as well as the recommendation for surgery.
Decision to send patients for surgery was considered primarily on their calcium level.
Other criteria for surgery were largely ignored.
End organ damages were vastly ignored as well.
