Incidental Parathyroidectomy During Total Thyroidectomy: Do Anatomic Factors Increase the Risk?
One of the most common complications of thyroidectomy is incidental parathyroidectomy, which leads to disruption of calcium metabolism. The aim of...

Parathyroid gland preservation in laryngectomy patients with total thyroidectomy
BackgroundPostoperative hypocalcemia in laryngectomy patients can occur when part or whole of the thyroid gland has been removed. Preservation of the...

Comparison of surgical completeness in patients operated on conventional open total thyroidectomy (OT) or trans-axillary robot-assisted total thyroidectomy (RATT) by a single axillary approach
Trans-axillary robot-assisted total thyroidectomy (RATT) is nowadays worldwide accepted but the completeness obtained by RATT is still debated. The...
