OBJECTIVES: Hypocalcaemia and hypoparathyroidism are the most frequent complications of total thyroidectomy that may result in the need for lifelong calcium supplementation. This study aims to investigate the impact of incidental parathyroidectomy on short- and long-term hypocalcaemia.
METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with or without central neck dissection between March 2016 to May 2018. All procedures were performed by three surgeons with similar experience levels. Histopathology reports were reviewed, the number of resected parathyroid glands and the underlying pathology reports were recorded, and the patients were divided into two groups; groups A and B comprised those with and without parathyroid glands respectively. The incidence rates of short- and long-term hypocalcaemia were recorded. The former was obtained through blood tests during hospitalisation and the latter via phone calls to patients 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.
RESULTS: A total of 116 patients participated, 18 (15.5%) in group A and 98 (84.5%) in group B. No statistical significance was detected between the two groups regarding early postoperative (p = 0.109) or long-term hypocalcaemia (p = 0.48). These results were similar in patients with cancer (n = 40) (p = 0.855, p = 0.08).
CONCLUSION: Incidental parathyroidectomy of one parathyroid gland was not correlated with a higher incidence of hypocalcaemia, even in cases with thyroid cancer.
