Background
We have previously shown an association between hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy. However, little is known regarding the trend in magnesium levels in the days after thyroidectomy. Our objective was to study this trend in magnesium levels after thyroidectomy.
Methods
Retrospective review of 173 thyroidectomies with analysis of calcium and magnesium levels on postoperative...
Background
Postoperative hypocalcemia (PH) is a serious complication after total thyroidectomy. This study aimed to compare PH rates between LigaSure Small Jaw (LSJ) and clamp‐and‐tie hemostatic technique in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy.
Methods
Four hundred twenty patients were divided into two groups: group L (210 patients) performed with LSJ and group C (210 patients) with clamp‐and‐tie...
Background
Three different strategies to manage transient hypocalcemia after total thyroidectomy were compared to evaluate cost‐effectiveness. The reliability of total serum calcium (TSCa), ionized calcium (ICa), and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) were investigated to achieve this goal.
Methods
A multicenter, prospective randomized study was carried out with 169 patients. The strategies were...
