متن کاملUnintentional parathyroidectomy and hypoparathyroidism in secondary central compartment surgery for thyroid cancer.
BACKGROUND Unintentional parathyroidectomy is a complication of thyroid surgery. To our knowledge, no study has specifically examined the incidence of inadvertent parathyroidectomy exclusively in patients undergoing secondary central compartment surgery for recurrent or persistent thyroid cancer. METHODS The records of 40 patients who underwent 42 secondary central compartment surgeries for t...
متن کاملThymectomy in central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer.
