Objective: To Evaluate the effectiveness of parathyroidectomy in children with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Materials and methods: Under our observation in the period 2014–2015, were 46 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism at the age of 11–16 years. To assess the effectiveness of parathyroidectomy a questionnaire was used and table PAS (Parathyreoidectomy Assessment of symptoms- table of symptoms in primary hyperparathyroidism to assess the effectiveness of parathyroidectomy).

The results of the study: Evaluation of the effectiveness of parathyroidectomy with regard to the elimination of most symptoms in primary hyperparathyroidism table PAS revealed a statistically significant reduction of symptoms and complaints. The amount of symptoms in the preoperative period was 445, a month after surgery decreased to 350, 3 months later 200, with certainty P<0.01. Indicators of the sum of symptoms after 1 year was 155, which represents a dramatic difference compared to the preoperative period. While decrypting the received data of the questionnaires, it became evident a significant reduction of complaints and symptoms of primary hyperparathyroidism which undoubtedly attests to the effectiveness of the operation.

Conclusions: Parathyroidectomy is undoubtedly the most effective treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism in children today. We recommend you to use the questionnaire on the table as PAS in the outpatient setting and in hospitals. This way complaints will allow you to suspect primary hyperparathyroidism in patients. Early detection of pathology of the parathyroid gland, and operative intervention are essential to early recovery of patients and their wellbeing.
