Relationship of preoperative serum calcium and extent of neck surgery to postoperative hospital stay in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and severe bone disease. A  case series

ConclusionFor primary hyperparathyroidism with severe bone disease, focused unilateral parathyroidectomy is likely to reduce the duration of postoperative hospital stay. Preoperative total serum calcium is not a  reliable predictor of hospital stay in this subset of patients.
