Focused parathyroidectomy is a safe technique for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism. The CaPTHUS score and the Wisconsin index are preoperative diagnostic tools designed to distinguish between single- and multigland disease. The aim of the study is to evaluate the usefulness of these models for predicting multiglandular disease in a European population.
