Objectives/Hypothesis

The primary objective of this study was to assess the safety of parathyroidectomy during pregnancy as treatment for hyperparathyroidism (HPTH) in comparison to nonsurgical management plans. Secondary outcomes involved analyzing the safety of surgery in the third trimester and the benefit of operating on asymptomatic pregnant patients.

Study Design

Systematic review.

Methods

PRISMA‐guided systematic review of all cases of primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy published in peer‐reviewed English journals on PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SCOPUS from 1980 to 2020.

Results

A total of 75 manuscripts were included in this review describing 382 cases of gestational hyperparathyroidism. The median maternal age was 31 years. Overall, 108 cases (28.3%) underwent parathyroidectomy during pregnancy while 274 cases (71.7%) were treated nonsurgically. The majority of surgeries took place during the second trimester (67.6%). Complications and/or deaths were less likely to occur after surgery in the second trimester (4.48%) as compared to surgery in the third trimester (21.1%). Nine surgically treated cases resulted in infant complications and/or death; however, none of these nine cases had any surgical complications. Despite these complications, the overall infant complication rate for patients who underwent surgical treatment remained lower than that of patients treated with conservative therapy (9.1% vs. 38.9%).

Conclusions

This review suggests that for all pregnant patients with diagnosed HPTH, parathyroidectomy should be considered regardless of symptomatology. Our data suggest that parathyroidectomy is associated with fewer risks than more conservative treatments and results in better fetal outcomes. Surgery during the third trimester is feasible and surgery should be considered in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Laryngoscope, 2021
