Thermal Ablation Versus Parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism

This study is a prospective, multicenter study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of surgical treatment versus ablation therapy (including radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation) for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The study will assess the impact of both treatment modalities on serum parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and calcium levels, clinical symptom improvement, bone mineral density enhancement, reduction in the incidence of urinary system stones, and postoperative complication rates. While surgical treatment has been the standard of care for PHPT, offering definitive cure, it carries inherent surgical risks and complications. Ablation therapy, as a minimally invasive approach, presents a novel alternative with reduced trauma and fewer complications. The outcomes of this study will inform clinical decision-making and potentially optimize treatment strategies for patients with PHPT.
