- Abstract
Controversy regarding the optimal surgical treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) continues. Subtotal parathyroidectomy (PTX) with a small remnant and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation prevail, although impaired by considerable recurrence rates. Concerns about postoperative management and long-term supplementation prevent broader acceptance of total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation.
