Abstract: Hypocalcemia linked to a diminished circulating intact parathormone (iPTH) is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy. The objective of this study was to evaluate iPTH as a predictor of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. Hundred-and-eight patients who… read more here.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION Post‐thyroidectomy bleeding is a low frequency but potentially life threatening event that is very difficult to predict. Given the increasing drive towards thyroidectomy with same day discharge, this study was conducted with the aim… read more here.
