Total Number of Identified Parathyroid Glands During Total Thyroidectomy and Its Relation to Postoperative Hypoparathyroidism.
Curēus 2023 December
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the correlation between the intraoperative number of identified parathyroid glands (PGs) and the risk of developing hypoparathyroidism postoperatively. Also, to determine the risks and prognostic factors in patients with postoperative hypoparathyroidism.
METHODS: A retrospective study of 499 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy at two tertiary care institutions, King Saud University Medical City (KSUMC) and King Fahad Medical City (KFMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was included. Individual demographic characteristics with detailed clinical information were recorded, focusing mainly on operative reports for a total number of identified PGs intraoperatively and investigating the risk of developing hypoparathyroidism postoperatively. Factors such as age, gender, comorbidity, and number of excised and reimplanted parathyroid glands were investigated to determine the risks and prognostic factors in patients with postoperative hypoparathyroidism.
RESULTS: The findings from the analysis showed that the number of identified PGs intraoperatively had a positive correlation with a higher postoperative risk of developing hypoparathyroidism. For zero, one, two, three, and four identified PGs, the risk of hypoparathyroidism in one-hour parathyroid hormone level postoperative was 6.6%, 7.3%, 34.4%, 34.4%, and 17.2% respectively.
CONCLUSION: The greater the number of identified PGs intraoperatively, the less likely it was to prevent inadvertent hypoparathyroidism post-total thyroidectomy.
