Loupe Magnification Reduces Postoperative Hypocalcemia after Total Thyroidectomy
The American Surgeon™, 2010We aimed to evaluate the impact of loupe magnification (LM) on incidental parathyroid gland removal (from pathology reports), hypocalcemia, and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury after total thyroidectomy and answer the question of whether this tool should be always recommended for patient's safety.

Early postoperative calcium levels as predictors of hypocalcemia
The Laryngoscope, 1998AbstractObjective: Early, safe postoperative hospital discharge has become a priority in the current environment of cost containment and managed care. One determinant for this following operations of the thyroid or parathyroid glands is a stable postoperative calcium level. This study sought to determine whether early postoperative calcium levels could

Predictability of Hypocalcemia Using Early Postoperative Serum Calcium Levels
The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2001In operations involving the thyroid or parathyroid glands, postoperative serum calcium levels are one contributing factor to patients' length of hospital stay. In this study, we wanted to determine whether early postoperative serum calcium levels could be used to predict hypocalcemia following operations of the thyroid or parathyroid glands.A ...

Postoperative PTH monitoring of hypocalcemia expedites discharge after thyroidectomy
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2014Hypocalcemia is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy. Some patients need to stay in the hospital for monitoring of hypocalcemic symptoms and serum calcium levels for several days. We investigated the efficacy and safety of using early postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) results for early discharge after thyroidectomy.A ...

Acute Postoperative Hypocalcemia After Neck Surgery
2019Acute hypocalcemia can be a true medical emergency. Symptoms of acute hypocalcemia include paresthesias, carpopedal spasm, broncho- or laryngospasm, tetany, seizures, mental status changes, positive Chvostek’s or Trousseau’s signs, bradycardia, impaired cardiac contractility, and prolongation of the QT interval. We present a case of a 49-year-old woman

Incidental parathyroidectomy during thyroidectomy increases the risk of postoperative hypocalcemia
The Laryngoscope, 2017Objectives/HypothesisThe correlation between incidental parathyroidectomy (IP) during thyroidectomy and postoperative hypocalcemia remains controversial. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of IP, risk factors, and impact on patient outcomes.Study DesignRetrospective cohort study.MethodsThis was a retrospective observational study including 3,186 ...

Preoperative Vitamin D Deficiency Predicts Postoperative Hypocalcemia After Total Thyroidectomy
World Journal of Surgery, 2010AbstractBackgroundTransient postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia occurs in up to 30% of patients. We evaluated the effect of vitamin D deficiency on postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia.MethodsData were collected prospectively between January 2006 and March 2009.

Intraoperative parathormone measurements and postoperative hypocalcemia.
The Israel Medical Association journal : IMAJ, 2010Hypocalcemia following thyroid and parathyroid surgery is a well-recognized potential complication.To determine the utility of intraoperative quick parathormone assay in predicting severe hypocalcemia development following parathyroidectomy for a single-gland adenoma causing primary hyperparathyroidism.A retrospective cohort study was performed.

We sought to investigate predictors of early development of postoperative hypocalcemia in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thirty-six hemodialysis patients (21 men, 15 women; mean age, 39.6 +/- 13.2 years; mean hemodialysis duration, 77.9 +/- 47.1 months) underwent parathyroidectomy.
