Popis: OBJECTIVE: To compare results of treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in two teaching hospitals (eastern and western Europe) and to establish conclusions regarding quality of surgery for PHPT in Romania. METHODS: We reviewed two prospectively collected databases of patients submitted to open minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (OMIP) for symptomatic PHPT in two centers from Romania and the United Kingdom (UK). We included patients with biochemically proven PHPT and positive pre-operative localization studies. We excluded patients with negative localization studies, suspected multiglandular disease, concomitant thyroid disorders and chronic renal failure. RESULTS: 60 patients were included, 27 in group A (Romanian cohort) and 33 in group B (UK cohort). We noted significant differences between groups in pre-operative serum calcium and phosphorus levels (p
