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 ...

Protection of parathyroid glands in thyroid surgery and treatment of postoperative hypocalcemia
2017 IEEE 5th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH), 2017Background: Hypoparathyroidism is one of the most frequent and serious complications of the thyroid surgery. Preservation of parathyroid glands (PGs) and treatment of postoperative hypocalcemia are key factors. The aim of this review is to evaluate the relevant literature and provide the clinician guidance for preservation of PGs and the formulation of
