Factors associated with postoperative hypocalcemia following thyroidectomy in childhood [PDF]

Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2022
AbstractBackgroundPostoperative hypocalcemia is a frequent complication after thyroidectomy. Hypoparathyroidism may develop as transient (TtHP), with normalization within six months from surgery, or permanent (PtHP) if the patient requires replacement therapy.

Do low preoperative vitamin D levels reduce the accuracy of quick parathyroid hormone in predicting postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia? [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Although some studies have suggested that low preoperative 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels may increase the risk of hypocalcemia and decrease the accuracy of single quick parathyroid hormone in predicting hypocalcemia after total ...

Early Postoperative Parathormone and Calcium as Prognostic Factors for Postoperative Hypocalcemia

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
Background. Postoperative hypocalcemia is one of the most common complications after total thyroidectomy. Parathormone (PTH) and calcium levels, measured several hours after surgery, have been suggested as valuable markers for detecting patients at risk for post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia.

Postoperative hypocalcemia: Assessment timing

International Journal of Surgery, 2014
180 total thyroidectomy case studies performed by the same operator in the years 2006-2010, all done with sutureless technique (Ligasure precise(®)). The monitoring of patients involved a dose of serum calcium on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and seventh post-operative, before the ambulatory monitoring of the patient. Treatment of post-operative thyroidectomy also
