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, 131:1915-1921, 2021.
