Abstract
Background: Hypoparathyroidism (HPT) is one of the most frequent and severe complications of thyroid surgery. It is caused by intraoperative damage, devascularization or accidental removal of the parathyroid glands (PTG). The incidence of postoperative HPT is directly proportional to surgery extent and surgeon’s experience. However, it can be significantly reduced by excellent surgical technique. The authors present original technique of in situ preservation of PTGs during thyroid surgery and 40-years-experience results in postoperative HPT.
