Quality of life improvement following parathyroid surgery: a preliminary three‐year review of fifty‐six patients from a single surgical centre

Abstract

We describe our experience of quality of life outcomes in patients who underwent parathyroid surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism within a single surgical centre at a district general hospital. We present a retrospective cohort analysis of all patients who underwent parathyroid surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism over a three‐year period within a new surgical service. We describe our experience of surgical outcomes between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with PHPT. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to describe patient reported outcome measures (PROM) in parathyroid surgery for PHPT using the Glasgow Benefit Inventory.
