Abstract
This study included selected 30 patients with primary hyperparathyr-oidism {PHPT) due to solitary adenoma after exclusion criteria. All our patients were submitted preopera-tively to: estimation of serum calcium level, serum parathormone (PTH) level, bone survey, neck ultrasonogra-phy and technetium 99 sestamibi (Tc99 MIBI) scan. After adequate localization of the parathyroid adenoma, all our patients were treated surgically by excision of the previously adequately localized parathyroid adenoma through a unilateral neck exploration. Conclusion : The unilateral neck exploration (focused technique) for treatment of PHPT due to solitary adenoma can be considered as a good method of treatment of such condition regarding the less surgical morbidity, favourable cosmesis, patient satisfaction, shorter operating time and earlier discharge.
