چکیده
Results Transient, mild but significant decrease of serum calcium levels was observed after surgery in up to a fifth of patients, while severe hypocalcemia was shown in about 5% of patients. The reduction of calcemia was more evident in elderly patients, with a concomitant reduction of albuminemia. In severe hypocalcemia, in addition to these two findings, decrease of parathormone levels was shown.
