Traditionally, bilateral neck exploration with assessment of all four glands was the gold standard, achieving cure rates up to 98%. This approach has largely been replaced by limited exploration (LE), in which a prelocalized hyperfunctioning gland is selectively removed using a small open, video-assisted, or endoscopic approach.Successful LE relies on accurate preoperative localization of single-gland disease. First-line imaging consists of high-resolution ultrasound combined with 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy with single-Photon Emission Computerized Tomograph (SPECT/CT). When results are negative or discordant, 18F-choline PET/CT is recommended, significantly improving localization and enabling targeted surgery..Because multiglandular disease cannot be definitively excluded preoperatively, intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) monitoring has become an important adjunct. IOPTH confirms complete excision of hyperfunctioning tissue and aids detection of additional abnormal glands. Several interpretive criteria exist, including Miami, Vienna, Halle, and Rome, with Miami and Vienna most commonly used. Although routine IOPTH use in concordantly localized single-gland disease remains debated, evidence suggests it reduces persistent disease and reoperation rates, particularly when imaging is inconclusive.Endoscopic, extracervical, and robotic approaches offer superior cosmetic outcomes but involve greater dissection, higher costs, and increased technical demands, limiting widespread use.

A century ago, F. Mandl (1925) and E. Gold (1927) described two patients clinically (osteitis fibrosa cystica) and biochemically (hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria) with a disease which Gold had already termed (primary) hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in 1928. The two patients were successfully treated by removing one enlarged parathyroid gland each. After the clinical and biochemical diagnosis was confirmed, surgery was recommended. In 1933, Mandl summarized his rules postulating bilateral cervical exploration, i.e. the macroscopic assessment of all four glands. Only enlarged glands should be removed. Until the beginning of the 1990s, in the hands of highly experienced endocrine surgeons, bilateral neck exploration was the undisputed method of choice (gold standard) with a high postoperative success rate (normocalcemia: 98-99%). Sporadic PHPT is predominantly caused by one hyperactive parathyroid gland. The development of reliable imaging techniques in combination with intraoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) monitoring to verify the completeness of parathyroid tissue resection led to a change in surgical strategy from extended to limited explorations. The targeted (focused) exposure of the prelocated enlarged gland with the aim to reduce surgical trauma, yet resulting in the same high cure rates, was introduced. For targeted exploration, various endoscopic techniques, cervical or remote access (i.e. skin incision outside the neck), have become available. The more direct the access, the less invasive is the dissection. Surgical techniques minimizing trauma and followed by less pain should be favored.
