چکیده

OBJECTIVE Thyroidectomy is the most common cause of hypocalcemia. Preservation of parathyroid glands in situ is essential in preventing this complication. The aims of our study were to review patients who underwent parathyroid gland autotransplantation during thyroidectomy, and to compare hypocalcemia rates in patients with and without autotransplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Parathyroid gland autotransplantation was performed in 43 (7.9%) of 543 patients who underwent thyroidectomy between 2008 and 2012. RESULTS Forty-four parathyroid glands were autotransplanted in 43 patients, including 36 women and 7 men. The median age was 55 (range: 30 to 68). The most common cause of autotransplantation was vascular comprise of the parathyroid gland. Early postoperative hypocalcemia developed in 37% of patients with autotransplantation, and none developed permanent hypocalcemia. Transient and permanent hypocalcemia rates were 9.6% and 0.4% in patients without autotransplantation, respectively. The risk of transient hypocalcemia was significantly high in patients with parathyroid autotransplantation (p<0.001). There was no difference between the two groups in terms of permanent hypocalcemia (p=0.156). CONCLUSION Despite meticulous dissection, parathyroid glands can be devascularized or removed inadvertently during thyroidectomy. Parathyroid autotransplantation is the best method to maintain parathyroid gland function. Although the risk of transient hypocalcemia is increased following parathyroid autotransplantation, long-term results are satisfactory.

Background: Hypocalcemia is one of the most prevalent complications following total thyroidectomy. Over recent years, in addition to hormone parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D has been also studied as a factor causing post-total thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. This survey seeks to study the relationship between the serum level of vitamin D before surgery and during post-total thyroidectomy hypoca...
