ABSTRACT
The first minimally invasive procedure ever performed in the neck area was the endoscopic parathyroidectomy carried out by Gagner in 1996 [1]. Parathyroid pathology seemed, in fact, very viable to be treated endoscopically; indeed, parathyroid adenomas are almost always benign, rarely does their volume exceeds 3 cm, and they do not present important vascular connections.
