AIM OF THE STUDY The surgical success rate and clinical outcome after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism were evaluated in a prospective long-term follow-up study. PATIENTS AND METHODS 407 patients, 396 with the first manifestation, 6 with recurrent and 5 with persistent disease underwent operation from August 1, 1987 to August 15, 1999. All patients were prospectively investigated in a long-term follow-up study and underwent reexaminations at regular surveillance intervals. The postoperative course is known in 93.9% of all patients. RESULTS The prevalence of asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism was 5.6% in our patients. Surgical cure was obtained in 97.7% of patients after initial…
