In Brief
An observational study evaluating Minimally invasive radioguided parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism. Completed, enrolled 856 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The main purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a minimally invasive surgical approach to removing parathyroid gland(s). The researchers are also interested in analyzing abnormal parathyroid tissue for changes in genes and proteins that may contribute to overactive parathyroid gland(s).
