Background

Accurate identification of parathyroid lesions in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients is essential for minimally invasive surgery during pregnancy.

Materials and methods

Patients who were diagnosed with PHPT during pregnancy and who had undergone surgical treatment between January 2005 and September 2023 were retrospectively included. Demographic and clinical characteristics and preoperative parathyroid ultrasound (US) and technetium-99m sestamibi (^99mTc-MIBI) scintigraphy results were collected.
