Background Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) After 1 year follow-up, the drop of PTH and the is being widely accepted as the procedure of choice for the normalization of calcium levels confirmed the excision of treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), which is all pathologic tissue. The MGC proved its usefulness in all caused by a parathyroid single adenoma in more than 80% patients offering accurate real-time intraoperative images of cases in some series. Preoperative location studies, like for location and confirming the success of the procedure. Conclusions The MGC is a useful instrument in MIP for sestamibi scans, allow the proper identification of patho- logic gland and intraoperative parathormone (ioPTH) assay PHPT. It may be used as complementary to the standard is used to confirm the removal of the adenoma.
