Abstract
Early hypocalcemia is the thyroid surgery's most common side effect. The factors (patient characteristics or changes in surgical technique) influencing hypocalcemia after thyroid surgery have been the subject of numerous investigations. This study evaluates the role that various factors played in the emergence of postoperative hypocalcemia. To determine the prevalence of hypocalcaemia after total thyroidectomy, our institution's experience, post‐thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia and several clinical manifestations of post‐thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia. It was a prospective study study from January 2022 to October 2023 at Department of General Surgery IN JMN Medical College, Kalyani. 100 patients were included in this study. Eight of the 100 patients who had thyroidectomies are scheduled for completion thyroidectomies (re‐surgery) following prior hemithyroidectomies or subtotal thyroidectomies. These patients had preoperative benign FNAC reports and postoperative histopathological findings that revealed papillary malignancy in one patient and recurrent toxicity in another patient. Total thyroidectomy should be considered when treating thyroid lesions that are toxic or malignant, as it involves not only removing the thyroid but also preserving the parathyroids.
