randomized controlled trial. _Ann Surg_ 246: 976–981 Unilateral neck exploration is a less-invasive procedure than bilateral neck exploration for surgical treatment of primary

hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), but long-term patient outcomes after the unilateral procedure are unknown. A randomized, controlled trial of unilateral versus bilateral neck exploration

conducted between 1997 and 2001 demonstrated short-term benefits of the unilateral approach, which included reduced rates of hypocalcemia. The researchers now report 5-year outcomes for

patients enrolled in that trial. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to this journal Receive 12
