What is Microwave Ablation Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Patients with Primary and Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: a Meta-analysis about?
## Objective Thermal ablation, including microwave ablation (MWA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA), has been recommended for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MWA and RFA in patients with PHPT and refractory SHPT. ## Methods Databases including PubMed, EMbase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), and Wanfang were searched from inception to December 5, 2022. Eligible studies comparing MWA and RFA for PHPT and refractory SHPT were included. Data were analyzed using Review Manager software, version 5.3. ## Results Five studies were included in the meta-analysis. Two were retrospective cohort studies, and three were RCTs. Overall, 294 patients were included in the MWA group, and 194 patients were included in the RFA group. Compared with RFA for refractory SHPT, MWA had a shorter operation time for a single lesion (__P__ < 0.01) and a higher complete ablation rate for a single lesion ≥ 15 mm (__P__ < 0.01) but did not show a difference in the complete ablation rate for a single lesion 0.05). There were no signi
