[Treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism at Cochin hospital (Paris). Changes in procedures during the last thirty years].

Abstract
The association of high performance techniques and low morbidity has enabled the development of preventive surgery for hyperparathyroidism. Over the last 30 years, 2500 patients have undergone this type of procedure at the Visceral Surgery Unit of the Cochin Hospital in Paris. This experience has enabled us to achieve the current concept of surgical treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, particularly with the development of minimally invasive techniques performed under local anesthesia. The promotional role played by our institution over the last 30 years in this area has enabled sturdy evidence-based reflection. The report of the work accomplished would not be complete without the story of the rich adventure which began in the 19th century. We propose here a review of the major advance achieved in order to better apprehend the principles currently regulation our approach to surgery of the parathyroid glands.
