The NBCL analyser was acquired by SIVUH at the start of 2025, which was thanks to a very generous donation of €42,000 by the Victoria Trust. This has revolutionised our parathyroid surgery. Up to September 2025, we have performed 65 cases, with a 98.5% success rate. This is not only a significant improvement over our previous success rate of 93.2%, but also on a par with the best results in any institution in the world. Furthermore, we have been able to increase the number of parathyroid surgeries performed, and have been able to tackle the more difficult cases on our waiting list (cases with non-localised imaging or suspected multigland disease), with excellent success rates.
