Preservation of parathyroid glands during thyroid and neck surgery [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 The parathyroid glands are situated in close proximity to the thyroid gland. They have an important endocrine function maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body by the secretion of parathormone (PTH), which is responsible for this ...
