The most common modalities are neck ultrasound (US) and sestamibi scanning. However, the nature of pHPT is changing, with imaging increasingly yielding negative results. Numerous studies suggest unlocalized disease is associated with poor outcomes, calling into question whether such patients are best treated conservatively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study aims to correlate parathyroidectomy outcomes with preoperative imaging in a single, high-volume institution.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Data from a prospectively maintained departmental database of operations performed from 2017 to 2019 were analyzed.

Data collected included patient demographics, preoperative imaging, surgical strategy, and postoperative outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 609 consecutive parathyroidectomies were included, with a median age of 59 years (range 20-87 years). The all-comer cure rate was 97.5%; this was 97.9% in dual localized patients (those with positive US and sestamibi), compared to 95.8% in the dual unlocalized group (those with negative US and sestamibi) (P\u2005=\u20050.33). Unilateral neck exploration was the chosen approach in 59.9% of patients with double-positive imaging and 5.7% of patients with double-negative imaging (otherwise, bilateral parathyroid visualization was performed). There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between patients undergoing unilateral or bilateral neck exploration.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients with negative preoperative imaging who undergo parathyroidectomy are cured in almost 96% of cases, compared to 98% when the disease is localized. This difference does not reach statistical or clinical significance. These findings therefore support current recommendations that all patients with pHPT who are likely to benefit from operative intervention should be considered for parathyroidectomy, irrespective of preoperative imaging findings.<\/jats:p>\n
