“…Reoperation can be technically difficult due to scar obliteration of normal tissue planes even when the position of the suspected lesion has been identified preoperatively using radiology. These factors result in an increased risk of vocal cord paralysis and hypocalcaemia compared with the initial surgery 2,6,7 .…”

Minimally invasive techniques for primary hyperparathyroidism are changing our approach to parathyroid surgery. However, a minimally invasive technique is less applicable when the disease is persistent or recurrent.
