Recent advances in preoperative imaging techniques and intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) assays have made single‐gland, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) the preferred treatment option for most patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Despite this evolution, a recommendation for bilateral neck exploration (BNE) with four‐gland dissection in all patients has recently been advocated by a parathyroid surgical group. The current study compares the long‐term outcomes of MIP with those of conventional BNE with four‐gland dissection in patients with pHPT.
