Does preoperative vitamin D deficiency delay recovery time from transient hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy?

Aim: To investigate the relationship between preoperative vitamin D deficiency and recovery/healing time from postoperative hypoparathyroidism or hypocalcemia.
 Material Method: The sample consisted of patients that underwent thyroidectomy 25-hydroxy-vitamin analysis 2014 2018 at General Surgery Clinic Health Sciences University Ankara Numune Training Research Hospital. Of 1598 who total thyroidectomy, 73 were included in study. These selected 214 developed hypocalcemia. patients’ demographic characteristics, surgical indications, operative findings, pathology results, biochemical parameters clinical outcomes retrospectively obtained electronic records. 
 Results: study, 10 (13.7%) male 63 (86.3%) female. Preoperative level was normal 16 deficient 57. divided into two groups: Group 1 with vitamin-D levels 2 deficiency. There no statistically significant difference Groups terms parathormone (months 1, 3) calcium (p>0.05); however, significantly differed groups.
 Conclusion: Our study suggests having a does not have effect on recovery hypocalcemia after thyroidectomy. Therefore, we consider it is necessary to measure routine screening apply replacement.
