Microwave ablation versus parathyroidectomy for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism: a cohort study

ConclusionMWA and PTX have comparable clinical outcomes for pHPT. MWA has a shorter procedure time and smaller incision length.Key Points• There were no differences in terms of clinical cure, persistent pHPT, recurrent pHPT, or major complications between MWA and PTX in the treatment of pHPT.• MWA is minimally invasive and results in a shorter procedure time.• Multiple nodules and high levels of iPTH were the independent risk factors for recurrent and persistent pHPT.
