Sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (SPHPT) is caused by the autonomous hypersecretion of one or more parathyroid glands. The only definitive treatment of this disease is surgical excision of all hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue. In the past decade, intraoperative parathormone monitoring (IPM), used to guide the surgeon during parathyroidectomy, has changed the operative management of SPHPT.
