Abstract
The practical usefulness of quick intraoperative immunoradiometric mea surements of intact (1-84) parathyroid hormone (iPTH) in the surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism (HPTI) is here assessed. Fou rty-two patients entered the study between March 1991 and January 1993 . All patients showed a good decline of iPTH after diseased gland(s) r emoving and 41/42 patients presented undetectable or normal values of iPTH after a period of 10 to 110 minutes. No persistent or recurrent h yperparathyroidism was observed. Quick intraoperative measurements of iPTH are specially usefull when unilateral neck exploration is indicat ed.
