Teshima M, et al. - Researchers intended to gauge the efficacy of the surgical procedure to preserve for parathyroid function retrospectively as well as to clarify the risk factors of hypoparathyroidism (HPT) after total thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. The enrollment consisted of patients undergoing total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection for thyroid cancer. Data recommended that 2 or more parathyroid glands (PTGs) ought to be autotransplanted in case where PTG was not preserved in situ to prevent postoperative HPT after total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection, particularly in cases of large tumor and/or gross extrathyroidal extension.
