Abstract
Although most patients with primary hyperparathyroidism can anticipate being cured after a single procedure, the sometimes challenging nature of parathyroid disease ensures that operative failures cannot be completely eliminated. Surgeons should understand the potential causes of failed parathyroid surgery and be aware of possible pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of surgical parathyroid disease. Armed with a thorough understanding of parathyroid pathology, and with careful preoperative assessment, meticulous operative planning and execution, and thoughtful integration of surgical adjuncts, surgeons are well positioned to maximize the likelihood of successful initial parathyroid surgery.
