NCT07211581
Predicting post-total thyroidectomy hypocalcemia involves a combination of patient-specific, disease-related, and surgical factors. Key predictive factors include the intrinsic characteristics of the thyroid disease, pre-operative levels of calcium and vitamin D, the degree of parathyroid gland manipulation or injury, advanced age, and pre-existing hyperthyroidism. While no single factor is definitive, a low post-operative parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level is a strong indicator of developing hypocalcemia
NCT06716632
This study aims to address the existing gap in knowledge by conducting a comprehensive comparison of the incidence of hypocalcemia in patients undergoing thyroidectomy using Ligasure versus conventional ligation of vessels by knot tying. Additionally, secondary outcomes such as operative time, intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications will be assessed to provide a holistic understanding of the two surgical approaches.
