Parathyroid Gland Injuries Post Total Thyroidectomy

Abstract

hyroid gland surgery has passed from a condemned, bloody and frightening surgical procedure with a high mortality rate to a common and save one by the work of some competent and ambitious surgeons who have created this long amazing path. (Wojtczak B et al., 2018) Thyroid gland has an embryology and anatomical position that make the intimately related anatomical structures vulnerable in an unusual way to the risk of the iatrogenic injury even with the hands of the experienced surgeons with the possibility of development of many of the post-thyroidectomy complications. (Bhargav PR. ,2014) Hypocalcemia together with the recurrent laryngeal nerve injury remain the most common complications of the thyroid surgery with determinate effects on the patient’s quality of life that may last for a long time.
